The look of timber, none of the upkeep: Introducing woodec

Ambiance uPVC wood-look window swatches

We get it. There’s something about timber window frames that just feels good. The warmth, the grain, the character they bring to a home. It’s a look Kiwis have loved for generations.

But real timber comes with a catch: the maintenance. The sanding, the repainting, the constant battle against sun, salt air, and rain that never really ends.

So, we asked ourselves: what if you didn’t have to choose?

Meet woodec uPVC

woodec is our uPVC that looks and feels like timber. It has a unique feel, right down to the texture under your fingertips. Side by side with real timber, most people can’t tell the difference until they look at the maintenance schedule.

Because underneath that beautiful wood-look finish is an Ambiance by STÄRKE uPVC window. Which means you get all the comfort, strength, and weathertightness our systems are known for, engineered for New Zealand’s tough climate, without a single one of timber’s downsides.

All the character, none of the repainting

No sanding back next summer. No repainting every few years. No frames swelling, rotting, cracking, or fading in the sun.

woodec is easy to clean and easy to live with. A wipe down is all it takes to keep it looking as good as the day it was installed.

And you’re not limited to one shade of “wood.” woodec comes in four different colours, so you can find the warmth and tone that suits your home.

Comfort, security, and style, all in one frame

At the end of the day, your windows need to do more than look good. They need to keep your home warm, quiet, and secure. That’s where uPVC has always had the edge over timber and aluminium, and woodec means you no longer have to trade that performance for the aesthetic you love.

Get the timber look you’ve always wanted, with the low-maintenance, high-performance uPVC you deserve.
