Whether it’s the history, the character, its unique finish or the listed building friendly designs, we still love the quality that comes from a high quality wooden window. Let’s not forget wood is exceptionally environmentally friendly and offers the lowest heat conductivity of any frame material.
Everest timber windows are made bespoke for you, with a range of options and colours to choose from.
We would never claim timber is maintenance free but if you love the look, we offer impressive stain finishes to highlight the beauty of the natural grain. Alternatively, we offer a great range of paint finishes on our softwood timber providing a more contemporary finish.

Leaded
Stylish strips of lead are a purely visual benefit that can be added to your window in order to make it more aesthetically pleasing. There are a range of leaded glass options that suit both modern and traditional houses, including square and diamond designs.
Georgian Bars
The perfect solution for traditional or conservation properties, Georgian bars visually divide the glazing units into smaller panes of glass.
Everest Internal Georgian bars are fitted within the sealed unit, between the panes of glass for easy cleaning.
We offer sustainably sourced softwood (European Redwood) and hardwood (Red Grandis), both of which are accredited by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC). Our wood is laminated with layers of timber are bonded together removing imperfections and adding strength and rigidity. For even further durability our softwood is finger jointed to eradicate knots and resist twisting.
Traditional framing options give you a choice of equal sightlines for a balanced look, while contemporary allows panes and openings to vary in size.
Designed with the sash sitting flat and flush with the surrounding frame offering sleek lines and providing a simple yet elegant aesthetic. Flush windows are becoming increasingly popular with contemporary properties where homeowners prefer the simplistic, smooth façade this window design provides.
A bay window is an arrangement of three or more individual window units. A bay window adds a projection to the wall which can be stood in, adding a stylish look from the outside and a great place to sit and relax on the inside.
On the underside of the top sash section, there is an optional component known as a horn. There are two types available: plant on horns and through horns. Through horns offer a richer more authentic aesthetic with the bottom section ‘butting’ against the side sections.
The opening mechanisms on our timber sash windows are hidden, giving a smooth, tidy appearance. Whether you select authentic cords and weights or opt for the modern twist with spiral balances, the innovative design ensures the window opens smoothly.
Modern timber windows are still handcrafted but are made using engineered wood technology that increases strength and removes knots that can create weaknesses in the frame. Timber windows are a perfect option for those who live in conservation areas and listed buildings if the design remains sympathetic to the original frames.
Yes wooden double glazed windows are available and make an excellent sustainable alternative to uPVC. Importantly wood does not conduct temperature and so when matched with a high performing double glazed unit can be a very environmental friendly option.
Timber windows are more expensive than uPVC due to the additional cost of the materials and the craftsmanship that goes into producing them. If you don't live in a listed or period property it may be worth considering timber windows at the front of the property (to provide the traditional look), but then a more cost effective uPVC window to the rear.
Timber has a high thermal resistance which helps reduce heat loss and also reduces condensation on timber surfaces. With proper maintenance timber windows can last a long time. Timber frames can be stained or painted so you can easily change the look of your property. Environmentally friendly timber is a renewable resource with a low carbon footprint.
Timber windows can be stained or painted. Painting adds a top coat to the wood while a stain penetrates into the timber helping to protect the timber. Paint creates a top coat which keeps the wood out of the elements. When it comes to ageing paint will peel and will need to be rubbed down to re-coat about every 5 years to 10 years a stain wears away gradually and will still need re-coating again about every 5 to 10 years depending on the stain used.
