The Warm Look of Timber, Without The Upkeep

February 7, 2026

We’re often asked whether we supply timber double glazed windows and doors – and many homeowners are surprised to learn that our woodgrain uPVC range delivers the same warmth and character of real timber, without the drawbacks. Designed to replicate the texture, depth, and appearance of natural wood, these timber-look uPVC frames trick most customers in the showroom who ask “is this real timber?”

This was exactly the case for our clients, who came to us with a clear vision: they loved the warmth and character of timber but wanted a solution that would perform better, last longer, and suit modern living. Our team worked closely with them to understand how each space was used, then guided them through selecting the right timber-look tone and opening styles to complement their home’s architecture and daily needs.

The warm and bright Golden Oak teak looking profile in the Deceuninck range was the perfect selection to suit their home’s colour pallette. They decided to create a feature on the inside of the home using the Golden Oak on bothsides of the profile.

“We’re thrilled with the low-maintenance golden oak wood-like finish – no ongoing wood care required.”

We replaced an old poorly sealing bi-fold door with a three panel stacking door. This provided a wide opening from the games room to the patio. Perfect for entertaining and inviting in plenty of natural light all year round.

The front of the home received a considered upgrade, replacing the existing winding windows with fixed picture windows. This change opened up the outlook, increased natural light, and delivered a cleaner, more contemporary façade. The front door was also upgraded to a fully sealed entry, featuring compression sealing for improved insulation and a keyless smart lock for secure, effortless access.

“On cold days, rooms stay noticeably warmer, reducing heater use”. 

We replaced these windows and doors in July 2025 and were pleased to hear that the clients had a cosier winter with less energy usage. The upgrade has delivered a space that feels warmer, quieter, and more comfortable year-round, while preserving the timeless timber look the homeowners loved.
