Wooden windows are the soulful eyes of a home, gazing out at the world with warmth and character. Crafted from nature’s bounty, each frame tells a story of sun-drenched forests and skilled hands. Their gentle touch invites sunlight to dance upon floors, casting intricate shadows that shift with the passing hours. Beyond their aesthetic allure, wooden windows offer a symphony of benefits: they insulate against winter’s chill and summer’s heat, whisper secrets of the breeze, and age gracefully, developing a rich patina that only enhances their charm. With every glance through their panes, one can’t help but feel a connection to the natural world, a reminder of the timeless beauty found in simplicity and craftsmanship.

Choosing the range of wooden windows means choosing a material that is 100% recyclable. By opting for one of our eco-certified species from a forest managed in a sustainable and perennial manner, you fully participate in respecting the environment and its resources. Our range of wooden windows combines traditional manufacturing and modern techniques to offer you the best thermal and sound insulation performance and extreme longevity. Solid real wood windows are windows crafted entirely from natural wood, showcasing the inherent beauty and warmth of the material. These windows are typically made from hardwoods like mahogany, oak, cherry, or pine, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal.

Advantages:

  1. Natural Beauty & Warmth: Real wood windows exude a timeless elegance and warmth that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. The natural grain patterns and textures add a unique character to any home, enhancing its curb appeal and interior design.
  2. Excellent Insulation: Wood is a natural insulator, offering superior thermal performance compared to other window materials. This translates to better energy efficiency, keeping homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.
  3. Superior Soundproofing: The density and cellular structure of wood make it an excellent sound barrier, reducing external noise pollution and creating a more peaceful indoor environment.
  4. Environmental Friendliness: Wood is a renewable resource and a more sustainable option than other window materials like vinyl or fiberglass. With responsible forestry practices, wood windows can be a more environmentally conscious choice.
  5. Durability & Longevity: When properly maintained, solid wood windows can last for decades, even centuries. The natural strength and resilience of wood allow it to withstand the elements and maintain its structural integrity over time.
  6. Customization Options: Real wood windows offer a wide range of customization options, from different wood species and finishes to various hardware choices. This allows homeowners to create windows that perfectly match their personal style and preferences.

Disadvantages:

  1. Higher Initial Cost: Solid wood windows are generally more expensive than other window materials due to the higher cost of materials and labor involved in their production.
  2. Maintenance Requirements: Wood requires regular maintenance to protect it from moisture, sunlight, and pests. This typically involves painting or staining the exterior every few years, as well as periodic cleaning and inspection.
  3. Susceptibility to Moisture Damage: Wood is a hygroscopic material, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. If not properly sealed and maintained, wood windows can warp, rot, or decay over time due to moisture exposure.
  4. Potential for Insect Damage: Wood is susceptible to damage from wood-boring insects like termites or carpenter ants. Regular inspection and preventative treatments are necessary to protect wood windows from these pests.
  5. Limited Color Options: Unlike vinyl or fiberglass windows that can be manufactured in various colors, wood windows are limited to the natural colors of the wood species or the colors of stains and paints.

Solid real wood windows are a premium choice for homeowners who value natural beauty, warmth, and timeless elegance. While they require more maintenance than other window materials, their superior insulation, soundproofing, and longevity make them a worthwhile investment for those seeking to enhance their home’s aesthetics, comfort, and value.


Aluminum-clad Wood Windows

Aluminum-clad wood windows are a type of window that combines the traditional aesthetic appeal and warmth of wood interiors with the durability and low maintenance of aluminum exteriors. These windows feature a wood frame on the inside, typically made of hardwood species like mahogany, pine, or oak, which can be stained or painted to match the interior decor.

The exterior of the window is covered with a layer of extruded aluminum, providing a weather-resistant and durable barrier against the elements. This aluminum cladding protects the wood from moisture, sunlight, and pests, preventing rot, warping, and fading. It also eliminates the need for regular painting or staining of the exterior, making maintenance a breeze.

Construction:

The aluminum cladding is typically attached to the wood frame using a clip system that allows for expansion and contraction of both materials due to temperature fluctuations, preventing damage and ensuring a tight seal. The corners of the cladding are usually welded or mechanically joined for a seamless and aesthetically pleasing look.

Benefits:

  • Durability: Aluminum-clad wood windows offer exceptional durability and longevity. The aluminum cladding protects the wood from weathering, while the wood interior provides structural strength and insulation.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wood windows that require regular painting or staining, aluminum-clad windows require minimal maintenance. The aluminum exterior is resistant to fading, peeling, and corrosion, maintaining its appearance for years.
  • Energy Efficiency: Wood is a natural insulator, and the combination with aluminum cladding creates a window with excellent thermal performance. These windows help to keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer, reducing energy consumption and costs.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Aluminum-clad wood windows offer the best of both worlds: the timeless beauty of wood interiors with the sleek and modern look of aluminum exteriors. They can be customized with various colors, finishes, and hardware options to complement any architectural style.
  • Versatility: These windows are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, and configurations, including casement, double-hung, awning, and fixed windows, making them suitable for various applications and design preferences.

Drawbacks:

  • Cost: Aluminum-clad wood windows are generally more expensive than vinyl or all-wood windows due to the combination of materials and manufacturing process.
  • Condensation: In colder climates, there is a potential for condensation to form between the wood and aluminum layers, which can lead to moisture issues if not properly addressed.

Overall, aluminum-clad wood windows offer a balance of beauty, durability, and energy efficiency, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking long-lasting and low-maintenance windows with a traditional yet modern aesthetic.

Wood-clad aluminum windows are a type of window that combines the strength and durability of aluminum exteriors with the warmth and aesthetic appeal of wood interiors. These windows feature an aluminum frame on the outside, providing a weather-resistant and low-maintenance barrier against the elements.

The interior of the window is covered with a layer of wood veneer or solid wood, typically made of hardwood species like mahogany, pine, or oak. This wood cladding can be stained or painted to match the interior decor, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the living space.

Construction:

The wood cladding is attached to the aluminum frame using a clip system or adhesive, allowing for expansion and contraction of both materials due to temperature fluctuations. This prevents damage and ensures a tight seal. The corners of the cladding are usually mitered and joined seamlessly for a clean and visually appealing look.

Benefits:

  • Strength and Durability: Aluminum is a strong and lightweight material that offers excellent structural integrity and resistance to corrosion. The wood cladding on the inside adds an extra layer of insulation and protection against the elements.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike all-wood windows that require regular painting or staining, wood-clad aluminum windows require minimal maintenance. The aluminum exterior is resistant to fading, peeling, and corrosion, while the wood interior can be easily cleaned and refinished if needed.
  • Energy Efficiency: Aluminum is a good conductor of heat, but the wood cladding on the inside acts as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency. These windows help to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and reduce energy consumption.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Wood-clad aluminum windows offer a modern and sophisticated look with the warmth and natural beauty of wood. They can be customized with various wood species, finishes, and hardware options to complement any interior design style.
  • Versatility: These windows are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, and configurations, including casement, double-hung, awning, and fixed windows, making them suitable for various applications and architectural styles.

Drawbacks:

  • Cost: Wood-clad aluminum windows are generally more expensive than vinyl or all-aluminum windows due to the combination of materials and manufacturing process.
  • Limited Wood Selection: The wood cladding options may be limited compared to all-wood windows, as not all wood species are suitable for this application due to moisture and durability concerns.
