How to choose the right windows for the cottage: a complete guide

When choosing windows for a cottage, not only aesthetics are important, but also functionality and durability. Kunaj, a specialist in bespoke aluminium and timber windows, offers a guide to choosing the ideal windows for country houses.

When choosing windows for your cottage, not only aesthetics, but also functionality and long-term durability play an important role. Windows are an investment that affects not only the appearance of the building, but also its energy efficiency and the comfort of living. Kunaj, a company specialising in the manufacture of bespoke timber and aluminium windows, brings you a handy guide to help you choose the best windows for your country home.

1. Why choose wood-aluminium or wooden windows?

Each material offers specific benefits that fit different environments and building styles. For cottages, timber and timber-aluminium are the ideal choice due to their natural properties.

  • Wooden windows: wood as a traditional material gives cottages a natural, warm and authentic look. These windows have excellent insulating properties, are environmentally friendly and, if properly maintained, are very durable. Wood also "breathes", which contributes to natural humidity control in the interior.
  • Wood-aluminium windows: the combination of wood and aluminium offers a modern solution with excellent weather protection. While the inner side of the window is made of natural wood, which guarantees cosiness and aesthetics, the outer aluminium layer is durable and does not require frequent maintenance. This combination provides durability and a modern design that will fit perfectly into a rural setting.

2. Energy efficiency and insulation

For cottages, which are often located in areas with colder winters, it is important to focus on the energy efficiency of the windows. Windows with low thermal transmittance can significantly reduce heating costs.

  • Wooden windows from Kunaj are designed to minimize heat loss and maximize comfort. As a natural insulator, wood prevents cold from penetrating and helps to keep heat inside.
  • Wood-aluminium windows also have an aluminium cladding, which provides additional protection against external influences and prolongs the life of the insulating properties.

3. Window design and style

Your cottage has its own special atmosphere, which the windows should complement. Choosing the right design is therefore crucial. Windows can be simple, traditional or modern. At Kunaj, we offer you the option of custom-made windows to perfectly match the character of your house.

  • Traditional wooden windows: ideal for cottages that retain a rustic style. Natural wood adds warmth and authenticity, which suits classic buildings.
  • Modern wood-aluminium windows: if you want to add a modern touch to your cottage, a wood-aluminium combination is perfect. They look modern from the outside, but still retain a natural character inside.

4. Durability and maintenance

Cottages often face harsh climatic conditions, so it is important to choose windows that can withstand a variety of weather conditions. Wooden and wood-aluminium windows also offer a solution in this respect.

  • Wooden windows need regular maintenance to maintain their beauty and functionality. Proper care and regular surface protection (e.g. painting) prolongs their life.
  • Wood-aluminium windows are virtually maintenance-free. The outer aluminium cladding protects the wood from the weather and reduces the need for maintenance.

5. Acoustic insulation

For cottages located in busier areas, the ability of the windows to insulate noise may also be important. Both timber and aluminium windows have natural insulating properties that will help to create a calm and quiet environment, ideal for rest and relaxation.
