Though the popularity of wooden windows endures, ongoing innovation has led to the development of a near-identical uPVC wood grain effect foil for windows and doors.

Faced with this challenge, uPVC solution manufacturers have developed uPVC timber effect windows. These solutions, which include white wood grain effect uPVC windows, convincingly mimic original wooden frames. As a result, uPVC windows with ‘wooden’ frames can offer the practicality and performance of white uPVC windows, while also providing the visual appeal of original timber.
