Double Glazed Timber Windows in Powys
Argon-filled, low-e sealed units in hardwood frames — typically 1.2–1.4 W/m²K whole-window, comfortably Building Regs compliant.
The case for double glazed timber windows in Powys is straightforward — hardwood outlasts the alternatives, can be repaired rather than replaced, and holds the character of the building.
Specified for Powys properties
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Trickle ventilation designed into the head where Building Regulations require it, not drilled in afterwards.
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Engineered laminated sections on anything over 1.2m, which resist bowing far better than solid stock.
Every double glazed timber windows we make in Powys starts the same way: a surveyor measures the actual opening, records the existing profiles and checks how the reveal sits. Nothing is ordered from a catalogue.

Questions
How much disruption should I expect?
Less than most people fear. A straightforward replacement is one opening at a time, typically two to four windows a day. Scaffolding is only needed on higher elevations. We protect floors and furniture and leave the site clean each evening.
How long do hardwood windows actually last?
Properly specified and maintained hardwood joinery has a realistic service life of 60 years or more. The timber is rarely what fails — it is the finish and the seals, and both are renewable. That is the fundamental advantage over uPVC, where a failed unit or a distorted frame means the whole window goes.
Are timber windows warm enough for Building Regulations?
Yes, comfortably. Timber is a natural insulator with far lower conductivity than aluminium or steel. A standard hardwood double-glazed window achieves around 1.2–1.4 W/m²K whole-window, against a 1.4 requirement for replacements. Triple glazing in a deeper section will reach roughly 0.8.
Can I have double glazing in a conservation area?
Usually, yes — using slim-profile sealed units as narrow as 11mm, which fit within traditional glazing bar sections without fattening them. Conservation officers vary, so we specify from the outset to whatever the local authority has stated and provide section drawings for the application.
Do you repair windows or only replace them?
We repair wherever repair is the right answer. Rot is normally localised in a cill or the bottom of a stile, and splicing in new hardwood is typically a third of the cost of replacement. We will tell you honestly at survey which way the economics fall.
