Timber is a proven, reliable material for window frames. With the right preparation and protection, timber windows provide excellent thermal efficiency and durability, while offering a timeless look that suits a wide variety of properties. All Bereco windows are made from sustainably sourced hardwood or engineered softwood, with modern coatings and finishes that protect against moisture, UV damage and wear. Unlike standard wood frames that may require regular repainting, Bereco timber windows are factory-finished with microporous paints and stains that allow the wood to breathe while shielding it from the elements. This ensures minimal maintenance and long-term performance without compromising on appearance.
The Contemporary Range from Bereco offers clean, modern lines with flush detailing and slim profiles. These windows are ideal for new builds or homeowners updating older properties with a more current finish. Despite the sleek appearance, performance is not compromised – each window is made to meet today’s insulation and security requirements. Contemporary timber windows can be customised with a range of glazing styles, hardware finishes and colours, so you can match the design to your property without sacrificing the natural look of real wood.
The Traditional Range is perfect for older properties and homes with classic styling. These windows feature authentic period detailing, including deep bottom rails, ovolo mouldings and putty line glazing effects. The overall result is a window that retains the charm of traditional joinery while benefiting from modern glazing and locking technology. This range includes traditional casement windows, stormproof designs and flush-fitting options – all built using modern methods to ensure strength, energy efficiency and resistance to weather.
For listed buildings, conservation areas, or properties with strict planning controls, the Heritage Range provides compliant solutions that respect the character of the original architecture. These windows are designed to meet conservation requirements while incorporating double or single glazing, secure hardware, and slimline frames that mirror original timber profiles. Bereco’s Heritage timber windows are made with great attention to detail, ensuring a close match to existing features. South Lakes Windows Ltd can assist with product selection, provide planning support where needed, and ensure that any new windows maintain the visual appeal of the property.
