‘ THE CASE FOR WOOD WINDOWS’
West Port flew the flag for timber fenestration at‘ The Case for Wood Windows’, a half-day conference organised by Woodknowledge Wales.
Established to put timber at the heart of Wales’ s green growth agenda, Woodknowledge champions the development of woodbased industries, and used the event as a launchpad for its new Campaign for Wood windows.
Speakers from throughout UK timber tackled the many misconceptions that have risen around wood windows- and explained exactly what makes them a fantastic choice for fenestration. One of these was West Port Managing Director Sean Parnaby.
“ Once upon a time, timber products were far from perfect,” Sean comments.“ They were made of softwoods, susceptible to
rotting and warping when exposed to the elements, and genuinely did require regular maintenance to keep in good condition.
“ But that was decades ago. Joinery has come on leaps and bounds in the time since – and modern wood windows offer an amazing opportunity for installers to appeal to aspirational end users, improve their margins and grow their businesses.
“ All a modern engineered timber window needs are a light sanding and re-coating once every ten years to keep it in top condition. What’ s more, it’ ll last you at least sixty years, which is considerably better value than the thirty-year lifespan of a uPVC window.
“ I was delighted to be able to be asked to speak at the event – it was a fantastic opportunity to dispel some of the most comment myths that surround timber. And now, I’ m incredibly excited about the launch of the Campaign for Work Windows.”
