    I'm guessing here, but they are probably these low maintenance timber windows: http://www.evolutionwindows.com/

    Like 99% of window manufacturers they only say "A Rated", a completely useless and meaningless claim given the thermal spec readers of this forum are likely to be looking for.

    Still, I do have to say that, like many others, I do very much like timber windows. I've had enough aluminium and uPVC ones to realise that they are a pretty soul less way to let light into a house, and are utilitarian, rather than things of beauty to be enjoyed each day.

    Yes those are the ones - sorry, should have given more info.

    I got the impression that they were aiming for the aesthetic of timber with the low maintenance of plastic/metal.

    Saw them at Home Building & Renovation show at NEC and they look decent enough, but am wondering if anyone has had any direct experience with them.
