I want to replace my windows and I am opting for wood. Apart from Oak (which are too expensive) I was looking for suggestions as to which type of wood would be my best option. I want to try and avoid wood which will move, swell, rot etc.
I commend your resolve to get proper windows. uPVC is a blight on the nation's architectural heritage
You are my hero.Hear hear!
Of course I would agree, I make timber windows.
You are my hero.
All my windows were joiner-made, and none was expensive considering the quality. The only remaining plastic disfiguring my house is the front guttering and downpipe, and its days are numbered. I re-did the back in cast aluminium.

Cast aluminium is lovely. Comes powder coated in any RAL colour, looks as good as cast iron but weighs so little that one person installation is a doddle.
