At Mumford & Wood, we take great pride in supporting developers on new build projects across the UK—whether it’s a collection of stylish two, three or four-bedroom homes. With new build properties becoming increasingly popular, especially among first-time buyers, it’s easy to see why the sector is booming. Long-term warranties, lower running costs and a sense of community all make new builds a compelling choice.

For property developers, ensuring the right partners are in place from the outset is crucial. That includes trusted architects, builders, and, of course, suppliers of key features such as windows and doors. And when it comes to creating homes that stand out, there’s no room to cut corners, especially on elements that impact energy performance, durability, and curb appeal.

Why Windows & Doors Matter in Multi-Plot Developments

Windows and doors play a vital role in the appearance and performance of any property. They’re both a visual centrepiece and a practical component, contributing to insulation, security, and comfort.

Their installation also marks a critical point in any development—once they’re fitted, internal works such as plastering, tiling, and decorating can begin. Choosing high-quality products from the start ensures your project stays on track and delivers long-lasting value.

Why Should You Choose Timber?

Sustainably sourced timber remains one of the best construction materials available, and here’s why:

  • Low embodied energy: It takes far less energy to produce, process, and transport timber than many alternatives.
  • Renewable resource: Timber is naturally renewable when sourced from managed forests.
  • Durability: Properly maintained, timber structures can last for decades—even centuries.
  • Natural insulation: Timber outperforms other building materials in terms of thermal performance, helping to keep homes warm while reducing energy consumption.

Reasons to Choose Timber Windows & Doors

At Mumford & Wood, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Combine this with premium quality, made-to-measure timber windows and doors that offer both performance and design flexibility, and it’s easy to see why so many developers choose us.

Sustainably sourced timber

All of our timber is carefully sourced from FSC®-certified forests, ensuring responsible forest management.

Engineered for longevity

Our engineered timber is designed to resist warping and twisting—issues that plagued traditional timber in the past. It’s now more stable and reliable than ever.

Long lifespan

Timber windows and doors can last up to 60 years, far exceeding the typical 10–30 year lifespan of uPVC.

Natural insulation

Unlike uPVC or aluminium, timber is a natural insulator, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy bills.

Enhanced kerb appeal

Timber frames are known for their classic, elegant appearance. They elevate the exterior of any property, giving it character and a high-end finish that’s especially important for attracting buyers.

Made to measure

Every Mumford & Wood window and door is tailored to your exact specifications—ideal for multi-plot developments where precision and consistency are essential.

Added property value

Double-glazed, energy-efficient timber windows and doors can increase the value of a home by up to 10%, making it easier to sell and more appealing to potential buyers.
