What are Wood Windows?
For many years, wood has been the material of choice for all parts of a home, including window frames. While vinyl and fiberglass windows have grown in popularity in recent decades, there is still a strong demand and market for wood windows. They are a little less expensive – being a readily-available natural resource – more environmentally friendly, durable, and many people find wood window frames more attractive than those made of other materials, as they can be painted to match a color scheme or sealed to showcase the beautiful wood grain.
Advantages of Wood Windows
For many, especially those who own older classic homes or showcase homes, real wood is the premium choice when it comes to windows. There are several advantages of using wood windows, including:
- Real wood has a distinctive, classic feel and look that man-made materials can’t compete with. Many window frame materials are made to look like wood finish, but why choose those when you can have the real thing? Wood’s varying grain patterns and colors are another selling point for many people. No two pieces of wood are the same, giving wood a distinctive look that can’t be copied by man-made building materials.
- For those who want more color in their lives or to change the look of a room, wood window frames can be painted to match any color scheme.
- Wood windows insulate more effectively than other materials. Real wood has 400 times more insulating power than steel window frames and 1,800 times more than aluminum windows.
- Wood’s natural insulating power also means it is great for cutting down on sounds from outside, meaning a more peaceful home life and better sleep at night.
- For homeowners interested in “green” materials, wood is literally the definition of eco-friendly. Not only are trees a renewable resource, but when wood windows end up in a landfill, they naturally break down to mix with soil.
- If cared for correctly, wood windows can last a lifetime.
- Wood window frames do not rust, like metal.
