The frame material affects the look, maintenance, lifespan and overall feel of a window. Timber, aluminium and uPVC can all work well, but each suits different homes and priorities.
During the survey, we can talk through the options, look at the style of the property and help you choose a frame that works with the opening, the window type and the finish you want.
Timber has a traditional, natural look and works particularly well on period and character homes. It can be painted or finished in different colours and is available in a wide range of window styles.
Aluminium gives a slimmer, more modern frame and works well where you want larger areas of glass. It is strong, low maintenance and available in a wide range of colours.
uPVC is a practical, low-maintenance option that suits a wide range of UK homes. It is commonly used for replacement windows and is available in different colours and finishes.
