"As a sash case window replacement company it knows how your choice of window frames can affect your home, your health, and our planet. There have been numerous studies of how we can make the world safer with the more cost effective and low maintenance window options over PVC-u," explained Alan Ralston, Director of the A&J Ralston sash window replacement company.
"Having timber or sash windows might add a premium to your home. It adds a touch of classiness to any building and you can expect it to last for a long time. Our sliding sash timber, for example, can be considered as the top class in terms of window design. Our sash windows are double glazed, fully draught proofed, and can be customised depending on your needs," Ralston explained.
Timber Windows Vs. PVC-u Windows
Industry reports have consistently proven that timber windows have a lot of advantages over PVC-u windows. Sash windows comes with a greater value and at least double the lifespan of commonly used PVC-u windows.
"There is a misconception that timber windows are harder to maintain because of its wooden joints but it should be clear that all materials, be it aluminium or PVC-u will require maintenance," Ralston reiterated.
"The manufacturing standards and finishing of sash windows have been improved through the years. One does not have to worry too much about damp penetration or water retention. We also use paints and stains that allow the wood to breathe and eliminate issues of blistering paint or peeling. Timber windows need only minimal maintenance. Even timber window replacement is a headache-free process," Ralston explained with a smile.
He also pointed out the harm PVC-u or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride windows may do to our planet. The manufacturing process and disposal of PVC-u windows result to release of poisonous chemicals that may be harmful to humans and the environment. Production of PVC-u windows involves six of the 15 most hazardous chemicals listed by authorities in Europe.
PVC-u windows are not maintenance free just as how some homeowners think them to be and they cannot be repaired when needed. Timber window frames cost less in terms of production and the value it will provide in its longer lifetime. Timber window replacement, sash case window repairs, and wooden window restoration solutions are also just a phone call away for homeowners.
"Remember timber is durable, repairable, and sustainable. Why will we risk our family's health with PVC-u windows? Sash windows are also a lot more beautiful that other kinds of windows. Nothing can match the natural beauty, flexibility, and the details you can implement with timber windows," Ralston emphasized.
