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.
Benefit from industry-leading craftsmanship when you choose your timber windows with ERW. With a focus on creating a quality customer experience, we work with you from start to finish to help find the perfect match for your property, up till the end for a swift, fuss-free installation.
Energy Efficiency
At ERW, we specialise in energy efficiency, implementing modern heat retaining performance into our windows. Installing thermally efficient windows into your home helps to save on your energy bills, as your home contains the heat in your home, reducing the need for central heating.
Acoustic Efficiency
Our windows also feature exceptional noise suppressing features, reducing the sound getting in, and out of your home. This is exceptionally useful for houses situated near to busy roads, allowing owners to live more comfortably in their homes.
Customisation
At ERW, our timber windows are crafted exactly to your requirements, so that you can find the perfect fit for your property. With over 150 colour choices available to you, we give the power to you that you’re fully satisfied with your purchase.
Available with Vacuum Glazing
Vacuum glazing is a groundbreaking technology for listed properties, providing exceptional performance with a vintage charm. Despite being as thin as a single pane of glass, vacuum glazing possesses greater energy efficiency than triple glazing, not to mention its exceptional acoustic performance, and reduced double reflection – the perfect window technology for listed buildings.
Timber windows are an excellent choice for homes, and other buildings of all kinds. With plenty of options to choose from, you’re bound to find the right fit for you. Make your new timber windows a worthwhile investment when you choose ERW.

All the staff at ERW have been utterly amazing – from the start of the project, from the general enquiries, to the fitting and installation . I couldn’t recommend this company high enough !
Thank you all so much!
A. W-T, Morpeth
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
ERW has been a major contributor in improving the physical appearance and energy conservation in our property which sits in the middle of Stokesley’s conservation area. In four phases of design and installation since early 2018 you have helped transform our property with complete distinction.
From assistance given to lodging planning applications with Hambleton District Council through advice on window design and final installation, I can give no higher praise than commending ERW on every aspect of installation.
I first visited your showroom and workshop in the Autumn of 2017 and was impressed with the factory tour afforded me by Kirsty Semark (Customer Service Supervisor). I was convinced that ERW could provide the solution to upgrading our ageing timber windows and appreciate the help and courtesy extended from you and all your staff – many of whom I have met during our four phases of installation.
The very recent installation of a new ‘Eton’ front door enhances the front elevation with perfection.
Please convey our sincere thanks to everyone involved with the workmanship, installation and administration.
Mr U, Stokesley
We have had windows from you since 2007 and been very please with the service given, from first response to final completion. All staff are extremely pleasant and efficient. Very good attention given to the finish of each installation.
Mr & Mrs G, Hutton Rudby
