FLUSH CASEMENT TIMBER WINDOWS

STORMPROOF TIMBER WINDOWS
Stormproof timber window are extremely popular these days and the style shows the frame sitting proud of the sash. They used to be renowned to be more storm resistant, hence the name.

The Timbers We Use For Our Window and Doors
ACCOYA TIMBER FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS
Accoya is often known as 'rotless timber' and tends to be the most expensive of the timbers because of its longlevity. It is a high performance modified timber made from sustainably sourced softwood. Once treated however it acts harder than hardwood. Its durability is labelled as ‘Class 1’, the highest level of durability for timber windows and other home improvements. This species is suitable for both windows and doors.
SAPELE TIMBER FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS
This harwood is suitable for both wooden windows and doors and is cheaper than the Accoya option. It is sourced from West Africa and the Cameroon, Sapele achieves a ‘Class 3’ durability classification, making it ‘moderately durable’.
EUROPEAN OAK TIMBER FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS
European Oak is a beautiful timber and features an attractive grain and we source this through an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) This species has a ‘Class 2’ durability classification and is suitable for both timber windows and doors.

Accoya is actually a softwood but has been modified by a process called acetylation. This patented technology makes the Accoya timber super weather resistant, and very resilient to rotting hence it is called a 'rotless' timber which remains tough, durable and strong for years and years. This is why it is typically used for bridges and construction sites where durability is key.
The acetylation process actually removes the Accoya’s ability to absorb water and this prevents it from shrinking, swelling and rotting. It is the most expensive timber of all the options but one worth paying for.
Acetylation is a natural process for the Accoya to undergo and there are definitely no toxins released into the environment which is good news! Accoya timber is sourced from sustainable sources and is recyclable so is perfect for the environment and for environmentally conscious customers.
