Hello World! Welcome Friends! Being a homeowner is not only about owning a property. Sure, acquiring one is the first step. But, if you thought your job is finished by buying a house that you can picture yourself living in – you couldn’t be further from the truth. On the contrary, that is the moment of beginning, rather than an ending. The beginning of great memories, but also of great obligations.
Here’s everything you should know as a fresh homeowner: https://www.incharge.org/housing/homebuyer-education/homeownership-guide/responsibilities-of-a-new-homeowner/
Be that as it may, whether you are a new property holder, or you have owned your house for years now, you have one, never-ending duty. Renovation and decoration. It is truthfully said that you can never actually finish working on your home. Nobody has ever reached the point of telling themselves: “That’s it, I’m done, this house needs nothing more”. There’s always “just one more thing” to do.
Still, some things are more essential than others. And one of the most important elements, requiring a good deal of thought, are the windows. Their function is not only to provide your house with the amount of natural light you desire, but also to keep you warm. Changing them every couple of weeks is not an option, which is why it’s imperative to choose the right ones.

Timber Benefits
In the era of cheap and durable UPVC, people seem to have forgotten about wood altogether. Is that entirely true, though? Well, no. There are still those who value natural, as opposed to man-made, materials. If you are not one of them, you should at least get informed about what exactly you are putting in your home when choosing UPVC. Check this out.
We can all agree that there is something impressive about timber windows. It’s like they ooze prestige and a classical, timeless beauty wherever they are seen. But, far from that being their only benefit. Leaving style aside, long lifespan, the impact on the environment, as well as cost-effectiveness should all be taken into consideration when making your choice of windows. Let’s see some of what timber has to offer.
Quality and Aesthetic Value
Looking at a house with timber windows and doors makes you feel things. Family, warmth, tradition and elegance…admit it; this is what you are thinking of standing in front of a home with wooden parts. Its aesthetic charm is unquestionable. But, what does this appeal bring to the table?
Coupled with incredible quality and a lifespan of over 60 years, the visual appeal of timber increases the overall value of your property. Other than being eye-catching, wood might also catch you some extra bucks should you decide to sell. When you look at it this way, it sure is a win-win situation.
Environmental Impact
While the companies producing UPVC are aware of and struggle with the release of dangerous chemicals, a timber window company is much more environmentally friendly and considerate. Featuring a negative global warming potential (GWP) implies that they can, over time, reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is a real game changer for our planet.
Whereas UPVC won’t exactly poison you, it does mean that you will bring unnecessary chemicals right into your household. On the other hand, going for the more natural option will not only have a positive effect on our mother Earth, but also influence the atmosphere of your home. And in a good way.
Temperature
You already know that windows play a big part in keeping your house temperature in order. It’s common sense. How would it feel having big holes in the wall, with absolutely no coverage whatsoever? Or, having no holes in the wall at all and living in a concrete box? Let’s just say we wouldn’t like those arrangements very much.
However, what you might not know is that timber is a natural insulator. It helps retain heat within your house and maintain an enjoyable temperature. Other than simply allowing you to feel at ease and comfortable in your own home, this can also significantly reduce your electricity bill.
Cost-Effectiveness
Although UPVC is cheaper from the short-term perspective, when deciding on important things, it’s always best to take the long run into account. If you put everything on paper, including the fact that timber requires some more maintenance than UPVC, you will find that opting for wood is essentially more cost effective. It not only lasts longer, but you also have the option of choosing among various, different-priced types, from maple to mahogany.
Tailoring
Speaking of maple and mahogany, did you know that the type of wood is not the only thing you can choose when it comes to timber windows? Yes, you heard that right, there’s more. These frames can be painted, carved, stained…you name it. The point is – there’s no way you won’t find a frame to suit the overall look of your home.
