Timber Casement Window FAQ’s

Casement windows are windows which sit within a frame, using positioned hinges to enable the window to fully open out. Timber casement windows are simply casement windows utilising timber as its core material. To discover more, view our full Casement Window range.
Timber casement windows might be seen as outdated by some, but this isn’t the case at all. We prefer to think of them as timeless modern classics. This misconception of timber windows being outdated comes from the fact that homes used wooden windows as standard prior to the engineering developments of uPVC and aluminium. Timber windows have wonderful thermal properties meaning they have stood the test of time, and can be well suited aesthetically to more traditional properties and rural settings.
All timber window sizes from Manchester Window Factory are created bespoke to your individual requirements. For questions on sizing, our friendly team can help with measuring your windows where needed.
One of the biggest plus points for timber over other materials is certainly its bill-busting energy-saving thermal properties. You only need to touch a uPVC frame followed by a timber framed window to instantly feel the warmth of the wooden option. Timber in particular is a wonderful insulator and looks beautiful in the frame of casement windows.
Casement windows are windows which sit within a frame, using positioned hinges to enable the window to fully open out.
New double glazing can help to reduce condensation. Improved room ventilation can further help in preventing it. When water vapour comes into contact with a cold window, it results in the water droplets which make up condensation. As double glazing contains multiple glass panes separated by air, the internal glass panels are able to remain closer to room temperature. Casement windows are particularly helpful in reducing condensation as they can open fully, providing better ventilation for the room as a whole.
Glass is a great material for natural sound insulation and because double glazing windows consist of two glass panes, outside noise is naturally softened through this double defence.
For homes near to busy roads, rails and runways, noise pollution can be reduced using acoustic glass.
The average lifespan for double glazing is anywhere between 20 and 30 years although much of this will depend on the type of glazing, materials used, and the weather that the double glazing has had to endure. At Manchester Window Factory we provide a fully comprehensive 10 year insurance-backed guarantee, covering all aspects of your windows and door installation.
The average price of a double glazed casement window is typically between £400 and £1,300 with materials.
