Timber is repairable, adaptable, versatile and durable. When purchased from well managed sources, it is a sustainable, environmentally friendly resource. Boscombe Joinery believes in the importance of forestry management and carefully selects suppliers who have adopted environmental purchasing policies or certification schemes.
There are a number of reasons for choosing timber and these can include:
AESTHETIC APPEAL
Wood is visually attractive and warm to the touch. It offers a multitude of beautiful colors, textures, pattern, and strengths and can be finished in a variety of ways including polishing, oiling, varnishing and painting.
TRADITION
Timber enables the sympathetic restoration of period properties and planning controls often restrict the use of u-PVC windows in conservation areas and in buildings of historical interest.
FLEXIBILITY
There are a wide range of design options and variables available as timber can be carved and moulded to suit your requirements.
WEATHER RESISTANCE
The use of durable species or preservative treated timber can ensure a lifespan of at least thirty years provided simple routine maintenance is carried out.
INSULATION
The cellular structure of wood provides good thermal insulation. Wooden windows have a better thermal performance than steel or aluminum framed windows.
