Discover the benefits of wooden windows.
Wooden windows are a timeless choice, and they have been used in historic homes and new constructions alike for centuries. While man-made windows are a popular choice, natural wooden windows have a lot to offer. If you are deciding on new windows for your home, here are the many benefits of wooden windows to consider when shopping.
Customized and Beautiful
Wooden windows are traditional, but that doesn’t mean they are boring! Wooden windows can be customized to complement the rest of your home’s architecture and are made from a wide variety of woods including maple, mahogany, and oak. You can further customize your wooden window frames after creation as well carving, staining, or painting them to match the rest of your home.
Environmentally Friendly
Wooden windows are very eco-friendly when compared with other synthetic window options. Wood is a sustainable and renewable resource so your windows can be recycled or reused in another way once you are finished with them. Wooden windows also have a negative Global Warming Potential rating, meaning that over time they can actually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Wooden window frames can last for many, many years without needing outright replacement. Unlike some synthetic window frames, wooden window frames can be repaired instead of needing outright replacement. Most synthetic window frames last about 30 years before they need to be swapped out. Unlike that, wooden window frames can last for over 50 or 60 years with only minor repairs needed.
Cost Effective
When you consider how much longer wooden window frames last compared to synthetic frames, they are very cost effective. They might require a slightly higher investment up front, but that investment will pay off well in the long run. Wooden windows are not much more expensive and can give you the maximum return on investment possible.
