Reparing Timber Windows with Epoxy Resin
Windows of Opportunity
Here’s why it’s better to repair rather than replace timber windows.
A building’s windows are an integral part of its character. Changing them, changes how we see the structure. And while it can be tempting when faced with tired looking windows to start afresh with new ones, it might not be what’s best for the building.
This is particularly true if you’re working on a period property where keeping the original windows intact helps preserve the building’s nature and value. It may also be a legal requirement if the building is listed.
Timber windows, especially, have a tough job. They’re often part of a building’s heritage and not only need to look good, but also need to withstand a constant assault from the elements – it’s no surprise then that they are highly susceptible to weathering and rot.

Restore rather than replace
With all that in mind it’s nearly always better to repair wooden windows if you can and to keep them in excellent condition. Good maintenance like this saves you time and money and is far less disruptive than installing new windows – it’s faster, cheaper and looks better too.
So, what’s the best way to go about it?
