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.

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

Traditional sash and case windows
Casement window designs
Panelled front doors
French doors
