Timber Windows for Traditional and Modern Homes
Timber is known for its warm, natural appearance. It adds character and works well in a wide range of properties across Edinburgh.
A natural look that lasts
Wooden windows bring a classic finish that many people prefer. They suit period homes, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas.
At the same time, they can be designed to suit newer homes with a clean and simple style.
Made to measure for your property
All timber windows are made to fit your space. This ensures a neat finish and helps improve insulation.
You can also match the design to your existing windows if needed.
Styles of Timber Windows Available
There are several window styles to choose from, depending on your home and how you use each room.
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are common in older Edinburgh properties. They slide vertically and offer a traditional look. Our sash & case timber windows come in two variants – traditional ropes and weight and modern, spring loaded version.
All sash & case windows provided by Vetro are easier to use and include improved draught proofing. Our sash & case windows come double glazed as standard with a triple glazing also being an option.
Casement windows
Casement windows open outwards and are simple to operate. They suit both modern and traditional homes.
Tilt and turn windows
These windows offer flexible opening options. You can tilt them for airflow or open them fully for easy cleaning.
Fixed and feature windows
Fixed timber windows do not open but allow more light into your home. They are often used in feature areas or larger openings.
Energy Efficient Timber Windows
Timber windows now include modern features that help improve insulation.
Double and triple glazing options
You can choose double or triple glazed units to suit your needs. These help reduce heat loss and keep your home comfortable.
Draught proofing and sealing
Modern timber windows are fitted with proper seals to stop draughts. This helps keep warm air inside and cold air out.
Lower energy use
With better insulation, your home may require less heating. This can help reduce energy costs over time.
Secure and Durable Window Systems
Timber windows are built to be both strong and secure. We provide windows in softwood and hardwood options with all our products benefitting from 3 coats of TEKNOS paint – 10 year paintwork warranty.
Reliable locking systems
Modern designs include secure locks and fittings. This helps protect your home while still keeping a traditional appearance.
Built to handle the weather
Quality timber is treated to resist moisture and wear. This helps prevent issues like warping or rot when properly maintained.
Colours, Finishes and Custom Designs
Timber windows can be tailored to suit your home.
Wide choice of finishes
You can choose painted or stained finishes. This allows you to match your windows to your property’s style.
