Older streets and later estates
In Camelon and around the sandstone core, timber sashes still appear on some fronts, and painted timber can suit a careful replacement where the survey supports it. On later estates in Hallglen, Lionthorn and toward Polmont, UPVC is already common.
What each material asks of you
Timber needs painting or staining on a cycle the owner can keep. UPVC needs less surface work but still needs clean seals and hardware that move freely. Neither material invents its own performance numbers on this page. The surveyor confirms what that opening needs.
When UPVC is the direction after the visit, continue on UPVC windows Falkirk. For sealed units in general, see the homepage.
