Contact Us for a Free Quote TodayWhat are uPVC cottage windows?
uPVC cottage windows are modern, energy-efficient windows designed to replicate the look of traditional multi-pane timber windows. They use decorative glazing bars (Georgian or astragal bars) to recreate classic cottage styling, while the uPVC frames and advanced glazing deliver improved insulation, security and low maintenance.
What is the difference between Georgian bars and astragal bars?
Georgian bars sit between the panes of glass inside the sealed unit, creating a more streamlined appearance and making the glass easier to clean. Astragal bars are applied to the surface of the glass, inside and out, giving a more pronounced, three-dimensional effect that closely mimics original period windows. Both styles can be used to achieve a traditional cottage look.
Are Timberlook cottage windows suitable for period or conservation properties?
Yes. Timberlook cottage windows are specifically developed to complement period homes, cottages and heritage-style properties. The slim sightlines, traditional proportions and glazing bar options help maintain the character of older buildings, while our heritage specialists can advise on designs that are appropriate for conservation areas and listed buildings.
How energy efficient are Timberlook cottage windows?
Timberlook cottage windows are engineered for strong thermal performance, with BFRC A-rated options available. The combination of insulated uPVC frames and modern double or triple glazing helps reduce heat loss compared to traditional single-glazed timber windows, supporting a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.
Can I choose different colours and finishes?
Yes. Timberlook offers a wide range of heritage-inspired colours and realistic woodgrain finishes, including popular options such as Chartwell Green, Anthracite Grey, Cream and classic timber tones. Dual-colour frames are also available, allowing you to select one finish for the exterior and another for the interior.

Timberweld tech
Innovative technology, modern design
Our Timberlook traditional casement windows are completely sealed using patented Timberweld technology. The Timberweld concept is a method of construction which balances the aesthetics of traditional timber butt joints with the efficiencies and accuracy from modern welding and the latest technology in our production processes. Using the Timberweld method to join the frame at each corner, we create frames that are completely sealed at the edges. With Timberweld technology, you get a quality finish that will transform the look of your windows.
What Are Cottage Windows?
Cottage style windows feature decorative glazing bars—known as astragal bars or Georgian bars—that create the elegant appearance of traditional multi-pane windows. Rather than multiple individual glass panes that demand constant maintenance, modern uPVC cottage windows use strategically placed bars to replicate that classic look whilst delivering the superior insulation of contemporary double or triple glazing.
This design approach is ideal for period properties, Victorian cottages, Georgian homes, and listed buildings across the UK, allowing homeowners to preserve architectural character whilst enjoying modern comfort and convenience.

Casement cottage windows open outward with side hinges, offering flexible ventilation control and exceptional ease of operation. Each opening section can be configured to suit your layout, providing complete control over airflow throughout your home.
Sash cottage windows feature the traditional vertical sliding operation that defines genuine period character. Perfect for Victorian and Georgian properties, modern uPVC sash windows faithfully replicate original designs whilst delivering stronger thermal performance and far lower maintenance requirements than timber alternatives.
Flush casement options provide streamlined aesthetics that sit flush with external walls, creating refined profiles that work beautifully with both traditional cottages and more contemporary heritage-inspired homes. Carefully positioned glazing bars maintain the authentic look of classic cottage windows.
Design Features and Customisation
Georgian vs. Astragal Bars
Understanding the difference between Georgian bars and astragal bars helps you achieve the right look for your property. Georgian bars sit between the glass panes for a simpler, easy-clean finish, while astragal bars are applied to the surface of the glass to create a more traditional, three-dimensional effect. Both successfully recreate cottage charm; the choice depends on how authentic and detailed you want the design to appear.
Heritage Colour Palette
Move beyond standard white with Timberlook’s heritage-inspired colours, including Chartwell Green, Anthracite Grey, Cream White and realistic woodgrain finishes such as Golden Oak and Rosewood. Dual-colour options allow different interior and exterior finishes, so you can coordinate with both your façade and interior décor.
Energy Efficiency and Performance
Timberlook cottage windows are engineered for strong thermal performance, with BFRC A-rated options available for homeowners looking to improve efficiency. Modern double-glazed units help reduce heat loss compared to single-glazed originals, maintaining the character of your home while supporting more comfortable indoor temperatures. Triple glazing can be specified for additional insulation and improved noise reduction where required.
Security and Durability
Timberlook cottage windows feature modern multi-point locking systems, toughened glass and robust frames to enhance security compared to traditional window designs. Low-maintenance uPVC profiles resist weathering, rot and peeling paint, providing long-lasting performance without the upkeep associated with timber frames.

Cills
Choosing the right cill for your Timberlook windows
We offer a choice of cill options to enhance your traditional casement windows. Choose between the contemporary shallow cill that comes as standard or the Radlington Cill which has been designed to add a sophisticated charm to any property.
85mm Stubb Cills
These small but strong cills are often used for properties with stone cills, having been crafted to ensure that moisture is directed away from the frames, removing the risk of water ingress.
150mm Cills
As the industry’s ‘standard’, these cills protrude 80mm from the front of the frame. They offer long lasting protection, are virtually maintenance free, and come in a choice of colours.
180mm Cills
The 180mm cill is the largest cill we offer, protruding 110mm from the front of the frame. You’ll often find these cills in properties with frames that are recessed in the brickwork.
Radlington 165mm
Cills are usually 30mm deep, but to accurately emulate traditional looking frames, the Radlington cill is slightly thicker at 55mm deep, protruding 95mm from the face of the frame.
Hardware
Quality hardware to compliment your home
As standard, our traditional casement windows are equipped with contemporary handles. However, you can customise them even further with our Premium Regency furniture. You have the option to choose from Peardrop and monkey-tail handles to give your windows a unique touch.
Standard Handles
Our sleek window handles fit perfectly with Timberlook windows and won’t interrupt views. They are available in a wide range of colours to perfectly match our windows, and offer smooth and comfortable operation.
Monkey Tail
Inject distinctive character and timeless elegance into Timberlook windows with monkey tail handles. These elegant and durable handles add a touch of vintage charm while providing reliable functionality.
Pear Drop

Peg/ Dummy Stays
