Classic timber style. Modern performance

Timber Alternative Windows

Heritage Aesthetics, Maintenance-Free Living

At Burgess Windows and Doors, our timber alternative windows offer the charm and detail of traditional wooden frames — without the upkeep. These expertly crafted systems replicate the appearance of timber, right down to the woodgrain texture and mechanical joints, while delivering all the benefits of modern uPVC technology.

We supply three leading British brands: the Bygone Collection for authentic timber-style sash windows, and Residence Collection and Evolution for high-quality timber alternative casement and flush designs. Together they offer superb detailing, strong performance and options suited to both period homes and characterful new builds.
