So what are the benefits to double glazing?
So what is Thermawood?
The Thermawood system is a fully code compliant “dry glazing” system developed primarily for timber joinery. What this means is that the DGU (Double glazed unit) is suspended within a rebate that is allowed to breath and shed any moisture that might penetrate past the seals. This management of moisture is what is so vitally important if you want your timber joinery to last. Being primarily a timber joinery restoration company we have more experience of how and why timber joinery breaks down. So when we went looking for a system we were painfully aware of what can happen if the wrong systems are used. We have been highly impressed with the design of this system and have incorporated it into many of our projects. Our motto has always been “near enough is not good enough”, as craftsmen we understand how to get it right.
With the Thermawood system we can confidently say that we can give you a job you will be proud of and a warmer, cooler and more enjoyable home for you and your family to enjoy.

Reviews
Care and passion for their craft
We chose Devon Timber Windows based on the reviews and glowing feedback from past clients. They certainly did not disappoint. They were very responsive and great at communicating - from setting up inspection appointments to letting us know days/times they would be doing the work. We were extremely happy with the end result (timber restoration and double glazing); the care and passion for their craft was apparent and shine through in the final product.
There were a few unanticipated repairs and costs along the way, but Stella and John were open and honest at every step. They gave us options and helped us to make informed decisions to achieve the best results. During the work, the team was very understanding, accommodating, and respectful of our space (even at alert level 3 and while we worked from home).
Even though we've only double glazed parts of the house, we already notice a difference in terms of reduced heat in the summer. The house is easier to cool and we can leave curtains and blinds open without worrying about damage from very high temperatures. It has also made a difference in terms of noise reduction (which is great as we live in front of a main motorway AND train track!) and humidity (the dehumidifier hardly gets used anymore). We are so so pleased with the end result and will certainly be consulting with Devon Timber Windows again when we're ready to do more work!

Timely and professional
Devon windows were responsive in all aspects of the process. We have old unique front windows that required refurbishing, double glazing and refitting. All were done in a timely and professional manner with clear communication with every step. Since the windows have been installed, we have noticed a substantial reduction in drafts and much warmer around the front of the house during winter. I highly recommend the outcome if you choose Devon windows.
