Furthermore, timber has also often been regarded as a robust, high-quality option that can mirror the aesthetic of other manufactured furnishings around your home. For example, hardwood options such as oak, timber and pine have long been considered homeowner favourites due to their natural look and warm feel, and softwood timber windows have been prized due to their ability to combine a traditional look and modern finish.

Additionally, it is important to note that many period properties were not built with the noise levels of modern life in mind. As such, wooden windows suitable for these homes may only be single-glazed, and therefore unable to provide appropriate levels of sound attenuation. Especially in locations such as city centres, where traffic noise is near-enough constant, this could be a concern.
