As energy bills continue to rise and environmental concerns grow, energy efficient windows have become a crucial investment for UK homeowners. At Windows & Doors UK, we’ve spent over a decade perfecting our timber window designs to deliver exceptional thermal performance without compromising on style or sustainability.

Understanding Window Energy Efficiency

When it comes to thermal performance, several key factors determine how effectively your windows retain heat:

U-Values

This measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation. Our timber windows achieve excellent U-values that exceed current building regulations.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)

This indicates how much solar radiation passes through the window. Our advanced glazing options can be tailored to either maximise solar gain in cold climates or reduce it in warmer areas.

The Timber Advantage


Timber windows offer superior thermal performance compared to many alternatives. Timber is a natural insulator with excellent thermal properties that help to improve the energy efficiency of any property. It is also the sustainable choice when it comes to window materials. Our timber comes from certified sustainable sources to ensure that the planet is protected.

Timber windows also have an outstanding life expectancy. Quality timber windows can last 60+ years with proper maintenance. They can also help to reduce your carbon footprint with timber products storing carbon throughout their lifecycle.

Advanced Glazing Technologies

Our energy efficient windows incorporate several cutting-edge features:

1. Double or triple glazing with argon gas filling
2. Low-E glass coatings to reflect heat back into your home
3. Warm edge spacer bars to reduce thermal bridging
4. Multi-point locking systems for enhanced airtightness
