Timber windows
The inappropriate replacement of timber windows diminishes the character and value of an old building, while the loss of original glass, with its ripples, bubbles and other imperfections, may lead to the façade appearing flat and lifeless. Common problems with wooden windows include rattles, draughts and decay, which are less environmentally damaging and easier to repair than windows made from modern alternative materials.
