• Growth For Real Timber

Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors has noted a 20% increase in orders for its timber flush casement windows since the beginning and end of the year.

The manufacturer says it believes that its sleekest timber design strikes a great balance for both heritage property retrofits and sustainable new-build projects – hence the increased demand.

As the UK housing market faces increasing pressure to meet energy efficiency standards and preserve architectural character, flush timber casement windows have become a popular solution for architects, developers, installers and homeowners alike as they seek out high performing, modern yet traditional products, that meet or exceed sustainability requirements.

Increased popularity

“Timber flush casement windows have been steadily increasing in popularity for a few years, but I think the recent jump highlights a critical shift in the market,” says Steve Winscott, a director at Nine Zero.

“The feedback I’m getting from customers is that the flush sash design currently has a far broader appeal than perhaps we predicted. Timber flush casement windows are being requested for new build and period properties, alongside plenty of ‘green retrofit’ projects.”

Meeting standards

With the UK government targeting a 68% reduction in emissions by 2030, retrofit projects have accelerated, and the role of timber as a renewable material has ramped up in prominence in recent months. Handcrafted from FSC-certified timber, Nine Zero flush casement windows combine the charm of sliding wooden sash windows with contemporary features, including thermal, acoustic, and PAS 24 security standard compliance.

Nine Zero also offers traditional detailing and carefully selected decorative features to customise its full range of timber windows and doors, such as glazing, bars, mouldings and architectural hardware.
