‘ 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 .”
