At UGS Ltd, we specialise in high-quality timber hardwood windows, crafted from durable and beautiful wood species. Our hardwood windows are made from premium materials, including Oak, Sapele, and Accoya, each known for their strength, longevity, and natural aesthetic appeal.
• Oak: A traditional favorite, Oak is prized for its rich grain, durability, and resistance to wear. It offers a timeless, classic look that enhances both modern and period properties.
• Sapele: This African hardwood is known for its strength and stability, with a fine, attractive grain and a reddish-brown hue. It is highly resistant to weathering and a great choice for long-lasting windows.
• Accoya: Accoya is a sustainable, modified wood known for its exceptional durability and resistance to rot, even in harsh climates. It’s dimensionally stable, meaning it won’t warp or swell, making it ideal for precision-crafted windows.
Benefits of Hardwood Windows Compared to Softwood
Hardwood windows offer several advantages over softwood alternatives:
• Durability: Hardwood is naturally more resistant to wear, weather, and damage, making it an excellent long-term investment. It requires less maintenance over time compared to softwood.
• Longevity: The density of hardwoods like Oak, Sapele, and Accoya ensures that your windows will last for decades with minimal upkeep.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Hardwood windows offer a richer, more luxurious appearance due to their natural grain patterns and color variations. They can be finished to highlight the wood’s natural beauty or painted for a customised look.
• Weather Resistance: Hardwood, especially species like Accoya, performs exceptionally well in all weather conditions, offering superior protection against warping, swelling, and decay.
While softwood windows may be more affordable upfront, hardwood windows provide greater strength, longevity, and aesthetic value, making them a more sustainable and premium option for your home.
