With proper care, use of the right materials and with a good design, timber can be a very long-lasting material.

Material choice:

Choice of material is crucial. We can manufacture using timber that is guaranteed for 50 years! Longer than uPVC. Accoya say is processed in a way that makes it very resistant to any insert attack (woodworm) or any fungal attack, (wet rot etc).

These are the usual causes of timber window failure, alongside a lack of maintenance.
