Timber effect windows are a popular choice for homeowners who want to recreate the appearance of natural wood. They are made using a durable wood grain effect foil finish which can be specified in a selection of colours to represent different wood types or a painted look. Often chosen by homeowners living in traditional period properties or rurally located homes, they are also becoming increasingly popular for installations in more modern properties.
If you live in a property with old timber windows, you may not be entirely happy with their performance. Perhaps they’ve become draughty or suffer from interior condensation, particularly in the morning. Or maybe you’re tired of the continual maintenance required to keep them in good condition. If you’re thinking about replacing your old timber windows with uPVC timber effect alternatives but you’re unsure whether their appearance is realistic enough, there’s really no need to worry.
Thanks to modern advancements in technology, timber effect uPVC windows like those we install at Techniglaze, are almost impossible to differentiate from the real thing. To the casual observer, they look exactly like real wood and even to a glazing expert, it would require a close inspection to tell the difference.
If you’re still unsure whether timber effect windows are the best option for your home improvement plans, here are some ways which they benefit the homeowner above their real wood counterpart.
As you can see, timber effect uPVC windows are an excellent alternative to real wood windows. There are certain situations, such as in conservation areas and listed buildings that natural wood will be required. In most other situations, timber effect uPVC windows are an excellent choice.

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.
Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.
We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.
I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.
Really impressed with the customer service and professionalism from everyone at Techniglaze. Especially liked the follow up call after our doors were fitted to make sure we were happy. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent. This company really care about doing a great job. Roger and Keith have been very helpful and explaining things in detail that a lay person may not understand.
Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.
These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.
First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.
I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
