We ve been making uPVC windows for over 30 years but even we admit sometimes only wood will do. Whether it s the wonderful character, its unique finish or the conservation and listed building friendly designs, we still love the character and quality that comes from a wooden window. Our wooden windows combine the traditional look of timber and modern advances in window technology to give your home a traditional look without needing to compromise on features.
Our Wooden Windows are made-to-measure to within fractions of a millimetre and our tolerance for gaps is far less than that of other suppliers. A timber trim is then added around the edge of the window for a neater finish. This exact fit doesn t just make your home more secure, but more energy-efficient. We also use Q-Lon seals which improve weather resistance as the seals always keep a weather tight seal.
Timber is a perfect choice for window frames, its highly thermally efficient and doesn t conduct heat or cold. Add in Everest know-how of modern double glazing and you will get an A rated double glazed window, offering an optimum 20mm Argon filled air gap and low-e internal glass which reflects heat back into your home for a window with the beauty of wood but the efficiency of uPVC.
Our Wooden Windows build in extra security with a multi-point locking mechanism and glazing beads to prevent removal of the glass panes. Our timber Casement Windows are so secure they exceed the PAS24 British Security Standard.
The opening mechanisms on our timber Sash Windows are hidden, giving the windows a Smooth, tidy appearance whether you select authentic cords and weights, or opt for the modern twist with spiral balances, which ensure the window opens smoothly.
We offer a range of modern hardware to match your choice of wooden windows, all available in either gold for a traditional feel or chrome for a more contemporary style.
We offer sustainably sourced softwood (European Redwood) and hardwood (Red Grandis), both of which are accredited by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC). Our wood is laminated and engineered for layers to specially bond together adding strength and rigidity. For even further durability our softwood is finger jointed to eradicate knots and resist twisting.
We would never claim timber is maintenance free but if wood is the only option or you love the look, we offer impressive stain finishes on all our hardwood window frames which highlight the beauty of the natural grain, and give an authentic look with timeless charm. Alternatively, we offer a great range of paint finishes on our softwood timber providing a more contemporary finish.
Although wood is the perfect material for window frames, even with modern Paints and stains it will need maintenance at some point in its lifetime. We offer a range of finishes on our uPVC windows which look as good as wood but have all the low maintenance benefits of uPVC.
Timber s beauty comes from the fact it is a natural material, and as a natural product some degree of movement in terms of expansion/contraction can be expected. However, with the engineered timber that Everest use, this movement is kept to a minimum.
Low quality timber windows can warp over time, however, Everest wooden windows are laminated and engineered to add strength, eradicate knots and resist twisting.
We use micro-porous paint and stain finishes on all of our timber products to keep them looking good, however timber products aren t maintenance free and will require regular maintenance to maintain the performance and look of the product. The regularity of maintenance will depend on the location of your property and where the wooden windows are located on the property.
Our paint finishes will require maintenance every 3 years to 4 years in a moderate climate (non-coastal areas at low altitude) or every 2 to 3 years in extreme climates (coastal areas and high altitude).
Our stain finishes will require maintenance every 2 to 3 years in a moderate climate (non-coastal areas at low altitude) or every 1 to 2 years in extreme climates (coastal areas and high altitude).
Unsheltered windows will require more maintenance than those sheltered or partly sheltered.
We recommend that the surface coating is inspected annually and if required you should re-coat the wood with micro-porous stain or paint.
Yes, we have uPVC windows that replicate the look of a traditional timber window. This gives a traditional look to your home without the maintenance involved with wooden windows.
All of our timber frames are made from specifically selected, seasoned wood. Timber has natural properties which help it withstand the elements and in the factory we apply a colour harmonising finish containing a preservative. We then apply a micro-porous protective stain or paint finish. However, timber is a natural material so requires regular attention to keep them looking good. You should carry out cleaning regularly, at least twice a year. The factory applied coating systems will give many years of life between repainting cycles and simple steps, such as wiping down the product to remove dirt and insects will help to extend the decorative finish. Washing your windows regularly with soap and water can add years of life to your wooden windows. Read our window care guide to keep your timber windows looking beautiful for years to come.
People often ask are timber windows more expensive than other material choices as it is often assumed timber is an expensive option. Although timber is often the most expensive choice, at Everest we have a timber finish on our uPVC windows to give your home the traditional look of timber with the modern benefits of uPVC. However, if only real timber will do, you may be surprised how affordable you can fit the best.
