Nine Zero reports surge in demand
Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors has noted a 20% increase in orders for its timber flush casement windows when comparing Q1/Q2 with Q3/Q4.
As the UK housing market faces increasing pressure to meet energy efficiency standards and preserve architectural character, Nine Zero claims that flush timber casement windows have become a ‘go-to’ solution for architects, developers, installers and homeowners alike.
“Timber flush casement windows have been steadily increasing in popularity for a few years, but I think the recent jump highlights a critical shift in the market,” explained Steve Winscott, company director at Nine Zero.
“The feedback I’m getting from customers is that the flush sash design currently has a far broader appeal than perhaps we predicted. Timber flush casement windows are being requested for new build and period properties, alongside plenty of ‘green retrofit’ projects.”
With the UK government targeting a 68% reduction in emissions by 2030, retrofit projects have accelerated, and – according to Nine Zero – the role of timber as a renewable material has ‘ramped up in prominence’ in recent months. Handcrafted from FSC-certified timber, Nine Zero flush casement windows combine contemporary features, including thermal, acoustic, and PAS 24 security standard compliance.
Nine Zero also offers traditional detailing and selected decorative features to customise its full range of timber windows and doors, such as glazing, bars, mouldings and architectural hardware.
