What are the advantages of modern wooden windows?
Today, you can see how in multi-storey residential buildings, office premises, private houses, cottages instead of PVC windows, wooden windows are increasingly installed, which do not compromise on anything to their metal-plastic competitors, and in some moments even surpass them. There is no doubt that modern wooden windows have great advantages.
The main advantages of wooden windows include:
environmental friendliness;
aesthetic qualities;
moisture, heat, dust, sound insulation;
Fire safety;
durability.
Wood is a natural material that is absolutely harmless to the human body. Deciduous (oak, beech) and coniferous trees (spruce, larch, pine) are used in the production of wooden windows. A three-lamellar (profiled) bar is made of them using a special technology. By gluing the individual lamellas at different angles, any possibility of the window frame or block being driven or warped as a result of use is avoided. It is worth noting the fact that in this technological process, manufacturers use exclusively natural, environmentally friendly finishing materials that are absolutely harmless to humans and the environment.
The aesthetic qualities of natural material are one of the main arguments in favor of a modern wooden window. A variety of colors and shades, a different structure of natural wood allow the window to organically blend into any architectural style, complement the ensemble of the facade of a building and even become its decoration. If we talk about the interior, then a wooden window goes well with furniture and flooring, carrying a classic sophistication.
In the production of modern wooden windows, several finishing steps are carried out. First, the prepared timber is covered with a protective impregnation, then - with an aqueous alkyd or acrylic primer, and at the final stage - with an aqueous acrylic varnish. In the production process, modern fittings are used (which minimizes the possibility of any breakdowns, and if such a nuisance happens, then it is easy to repair or replace damaged elements with new ones), seals and double-glazed windows, which make a modern wooden window protected from moisture, heat, dust , third-party sounds and noise.
Despite the fact that wood is an excellent combustible material, modern windows made of natural profiled timber meet all fire safety standards. The fact is that due to the processing of the material with a special composition, the wood is very resistant to the combustion process, even with a strong fire it does not immediately ignite, but slowly smolders.
The total service life of a modern wooden window directly depends on the moisture level of the wood, its quality and finishing materials (varnishes, paints, primers, impregnations) used by manufacturers in the production process. In order for the buyer not to accidentally make a mistake with the choice of a low-quality product, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the product passport, its technical characteristics, or consult an experienced specialist. Often, ultra-practical and functional window blocks made of profiled timber can serve for several decades, with practically no loss of their original physical and chemical properties.
