Choosing Timber Windows and Doors for Renovating Period Homes in Scotland

 

Maintaining Character During Renovation Projects

Renovating a period property requires careful attention to materials and design choices. Timber windows and doors play an important role in maintaining the architectural integrity of traditional homes.

Hilston & Bennett manufacture bespoke timber joinery suited to renovation projects across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.

Our designs ensure replacement windows and doors complement the style of the property while providing modern performance benefits.

Importance of Sympathetic Design

Period homes often feature distinctive architectural details that contribute to their character.

Replacement joinery should reflect original proportions and design features wherever possible.

Timber allows accurate replication of:

Traditional sash and case windows
Casement window designs
Panelled front doors
French doors
Stable doors
Bifold doors for extensions

Maintaining these details helps preserve the appearance of the property.
