Are wooden windows much more expensive than uPVC?

Question

We are replacing all the windows in our 1920s house and would prefer timber for the character, but our budget is not unlimited. How much more should we expect to pay compared with uPVC?

Vasilica · Answer

Paul · Answer

Yes they are quiet abit more expensive as there a bespoke product

Gabriel · Answer

Yes they are indeed ur talking 65% more in cost thank you

Andy · Answer

Generally speaking- Yes.

Plus there is the reaccuring costs to maintain them.

There are very good woodgrain effect windows which would be in keeping with the style.

Richard · Answer

Yes they are.  Alot of wooden windows are still handmade so take longer to manufacture and generally cost more

If you were to purchase timber windows without opting for any artistic finishes or premium add-ons, the cost of the windows themselves will be between 80% - 120% more than the cost of basic uPVC windows of the same dimensions. The range in the possible price difference is because a single pane timber window will come in at closer to the 80% above uPVC pricing point, but a larger window divided into 6 panes will likely push higher towards the 120% mark. Further to the cost of buying the timber windows at a premium, they require slightly more maintenance than uPVC, so that is also worth considering if ordering a large number of windows

Good afternoon. I do offer both Upvc and timber windows but you will find that timber is generally 3 times the cost. There are some very nice Upvc wood effect windows available. Kind Regards. Simon. Simply Windows & Doors

Anthony · Answer

Yes unfortunately you probably pay at least a third more for a good insulated timber window

Current UK 2026 cost guides put timber windows at at least roughly 50% more than comparable uPVC, although the actual gap varies considerably by style and specification
