Timber windows have been a staple of British architecture all across the country for hundreds of years. Their timeless appeal, matched with versatility, make wooden windows a reliable choice for all homes modern and traditional.
With their renowned elegance, and plentiful qualities, timber windows have remained one of the most popular choices for homeowners across the UK. Below, we will explore all the different benefits of installing timber windows into your property.
When looking for timber windows, a lot of property owners prioritise appearance – and with twooden windows, you get exactly that. These classic, stylish windows are the perfect way to bring kerb appeal to your property, so that your home can stand out.
These windows bring charm to all homes, whether that’s a cottage home, a modern property, or even a listed property. Particularly for heritage buildings, timber windows are an excellent way of bringing modern performance at no detriment to the appearance of the property, emitting the worry of planning permission.
To pair with their beauty, timber windows are also highly sustainable. Timber windows are renewable, offering a lower carbon footprint for a greener home. Implementing eco-friendly windows into your home will also increase the value of the property itself, giving your home an edge over similarly structured properties.
Another huge benefit to timber windows is their natural thermal insulation properties. Energy efficiency is a major demand in modern day living, as owners are looking to improve the heat retention of their property in order to save on energy bills, particularly in the colder, and warmer months.
With high quality timber comes excellent durability, keeping your home looking stylish for decades to come. In the modern day, timber windows are especially treated to increase their durability, equipped with a weather resistant coating to reduce wearing.
While timber windows are already durable, in the case of damage they’re very easy to repair, and can often avoid being replaced. With our team of highly-talented joiners, we can retain the charm of your existing timber sashes so that your windows are restored to their original quality, even in period properties.

Another notable feature of wooden windows is that they’re highly versatile, and easily customisable, further adding to their kerb appeal. There are plenty of different design options available to suit any architectural design, or your own personal preference. As an example, some of the different styles of timber windows that we craft include:
Timber windows are also available in your choice of colour. Whether you’re looking for stained timber, or a painted coating, timber is compatible with any colour, allowing you to express your property the way that you desire.

Having just recently had wooden windows installed by your company, I would like to thank you for the professional and efficient service you provided. From my initial phone call to ERW through quotation and survey it all went very smoothly. I congratulate you on your work force who were all polite, punctual, reliable, tidy, helpful, considerate and very hard working. A CREDIT TO ERW! Needless to say I am delighted with my new windows and would not hesitate to recommend ERW to anyone who wants to deal with a professional family run firm.
Mrs B, Wolviston, Billingham
We have been well satisfied with the work done by ERW. From our first meeting when we turned up at the showroom without prior booking to the final fitting we have been well looked after. The two installers were punctual, tidy and did an excellent job and responded positively to questions and took pride in their work.
Mr & Mrs T, Darlington
We just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we are very happy with both our secondary glazing and the new double glazing that has very recently been fitted by ERW Joinery Ltd in our home. Despite having some reservations about the aesthetics and impact it would have on the ‘period’ of the house, we both think the windows look great. In addition to this we have already noticed that the house feels much warmer and also retains the heat for longer. I thought that the advice you gave us was excellent & the attention to detail from yourself and your workforce was so important in helping us decide about the best products. Could you also please pass on our thanks to the workforce who were professional, hardworking and above all craftsmen. We will certainly be happy to recommend your company to any of our friends who may be considering similar work.
Ms R, Darlington
I just wanted to send you our thanks for yet another superb installation yesterday by Dan and crew……(our ‘phase 3’). The face-lift to our property this year has been a true transformation and your installers are always so courteous and helpful. Five star service
Mr U, Stokesley
