The beauty of natural wood is of course well-known. Providing an authentic, traditional style to a home, timber window frames are a great looking addition to a home. Unfortunately, wood has its drawbacks. Requiring regular maintenance, wood is also not very suited to our demanding weather; causing it to warp and discolour. As such, wood is not a viable option for many homeowners. To allow people to still have traditional looking wooden window frames, we have created a fantastic range of authentic looking woodgrain windows that are a great cost effective alternative to real wood. With frames made from UPVC, these woodgrain windows are guaranteed to stay looking great for many years and will require absolutely no maintenance other than a quick clean.
Traditional Looks Matched with Modern Engineering
Our woodgrain windows are available in a variety of realistic finishes and colours and are guaranteed to never fade. Because they are made using modern materials and can come fitted with a variety of glazing, including lead-patterned glass and triple glazing, these incredible windows will significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency. As such, you will be able to heat your home for less and reduce your heating bills. As the leading provider of woodgrain windows in Lanarkshire, we strive to offer low cheap woodgrain windows prices. Using modern materials and techniques, we now offer traditional looking windows that provide very modern functionality, including ones that slide vertically, ones that tilt & turn and others that open from the top.
Expect a quieter, more comfortable, and more secure home with your preferred glazing…
The window frame is of course a very important component, but so is the type of glass you choose. Those wanting to save as much as they can on fuel bills could look into the possibility of Energy Rated Windows, or if you want to add further styling to the overall design then there’s always the option of leaded glass or astragal bars.
Double Glazing
Double glazing will completely transform the look and feel of your home with it providing stunning looks and a higher level of energy efficiency. Whether you live in a traditional or period property, at Visual we offer a huge range double glazed window designs guaranteed to set your property apart. Nowhere else will you find such a varied selection of replacement window designs. Our revolutionary double glazing windows offer style, security and a saving on your energy bills.
Triple Glazing
Not one, not two but three panes of thermally efficient glass are included in a set of Triple Glazed Windows; making them a real winner when it comes to energy-saving. Heat loss will become a thing of the past, as will drafts and cold breezes in your home when you replace your old windows with this most contemporary form of window. Triple Glazing can be integrated into any of our window styles so that not only will you benefit from a better looking home, but you also from cheaper energy in the long-term.
Privacy Glazing
Your home should be a place where you can shut yourself off from the outside world and it can be if you choose to have privacy glazing fitted. It’s a fantastic solution, particularly in areas such as the bathroom and entrance into your property, as it prevents people from being able to gaze into your living space. It can be utilised in both double glazing and triple glazing, and despite its purpose, will still draw in a generous amount of natural sunlight.
Frames can be shaped into a traditional, fully sculptured or contemporary style…
Some window and door systems suit certain types of property more than others, and this usually comes down to differences in dimensions and contours in the frame. Whilst this may seem fairly insignificant, you would be surprised at how much of an impact they can have on the overall design.
UPVC
It’s easy to understand why many people favour the contoured profile of UPVC ahead of other window materials as it’s extremely low maintenance, enduring and relatively affordable to buy. It also offers an outstanding amount of energy efficiency; allowing you to utilise your heating system less often, resulting in energy bills dropping to a more acceptable monetary level. The adaptability of UPVC is a priceless feature for those seeking a curved or arched window or door design.
Aluminium
Contemporary aluminium has fast become the favoured alternative to UPVC, predominantly because of the slimness of its profile and its ability to draw in natural sunlight due to the large expanse of glass. The outside face features an intricate contour and has a subtlety to it that’s impossible to resist. The many powder coated finishes that can be applied to an aluminium frame are also impressive thanks to the deep, rich colour this process creates. There is even a sublimated woodgrain finish that looks just like natural wood.
Heritage
Many people find it difficult to believe that our Heritage windows and doors aren’t authentic timber products such is their likeness to the real thing in terms of style, dimension and finish. Remarkably, even the window sits flush with the window frame when fully closed – just as you would expect in a traditional 19th Century timber equivalent. What you can’t tell from just looking at a Heritage frame is that is actually composed of a composite material; giving it the energy efficiency benefits of a 21st Century window or door, as well as it requiring no form of maintenance. For people living in conservation areas where they need to maintain their home’s existing design will find the Heritage range to be an excellent option.
You will be taken aback by how choice there is when it comes to colour…
Window buying requires a considerable amount of thought such is the array of choice available, particularly as you can nowadays opt for a dual-colour finish; which basically means that the inside and outside of the frame can feature different colours. For example, classic White works wonderfully in tandem with a traditional Oak finish. Whatever your preference, we can guarantee you a Classic UPVC, Contemporary Aluminium or Heritage Window that offers stylishness, sturdiness and sophistication.
UPVC Colours
White coloured UPVC windows will never go out of fashion. However, times have changed and window design has evolved, meaning that UPVC can now be finished in virtually any colour you can think of. We undertake an intense paint production process which allows us to create contemporary colours such as Chartwell Green and Grey, as well as traditional finishes like Whitegrain and Irish Oak.
Aluminium Colours
An 11-stage powder coating process is applied to all of our Contemporary Aluminium windows. For people wanting the look of traditional timber but without any of the problems or high maintenance, we have created an incredible range of woodgrain finishes. Created using a process called sublimination, we can offer finishes in Walnut, Rosewood and Oak that are almost identical to the real thing.
Heritage Colours
The influence of traditional 19th Century timber windows on our Heritage range is there for all to see such is the painstaking detail evident in the frame and hardware. The period finishes available in this stunning collection are also as you’d expect for windows of this type, with colours comprising of Clotted Cream, Cotswold Biscuit, Painswick, Eclectic Grey, Corse Lawn and English, Irish and Silvered Oak.
Astounding aesthetics are an absolute given when buying our windows as they contain a finish full of richness and depth, ready prepared to withstand any form of weather. The only form of maintenance that will be required is a quick wipe down with a cloth every now and again to bring back their sheen, so you can say a permanent goodbye to sanding, varnishing and repainting. If your motivation for exchanging your existing windows for replacements is rising energy bills then you could always opt for our energy rated rated solutions.
We serve the whole of Lanarkshire, Glasgow and Ayrshire, so please do get in touch.
Energy Efficiency
A+ and A++ UPVC windows are our best performing windows in terms of insulation and energy efficiency, and are a great option for conservatories. Quality windows in conservatories makes them an environmentally friendly option. Thanks to ongoing innovation and product development A+ and A++ windows have overtaken A-rated as the best available on the market, with the insulation offered by these types of windows better than ever before. Quite simply, less heat is allowed to escape from your conservatory, and more natural warmth from the sun is allowed into your home thanks to an intelligent composition of glass which delivers this two-fold benefit and reduces your household carbon footprint.
Security
The windows of your home need to be fully secure otherwise you could be leaving your home open to intruders as they will often be one of the first targets they aim for when attempting to break-in. All our window designs offer the very finest durability, both in the frame and glass, and come fitted with a multi-point locking mechanism which is near impossible to break. For further security you could always choose a ‘Secured by Design’ window.
Noise Reduction
A concern for homeowners when considering home improvements, particularly with windows, is the potential for sounds from the outside world to filter into your home. The research and development we’ve put into our products ensures that you can rest peacefully at home, with the noises of the busy outside world kept outside and leaving the only noises you have to deal with coming from your family!
