Why Wooden Windows?

What represent a wooden window or door?

As a natural resource, wood is an ecological raw material that is in constant abundance and easily regenerated thanks to the way it is exploited around the world, in a reasoned and sustainable approach.

Anyone who chooses wooden windows and doors thinks of a better future. The raw material is constantly growing and can be fully biodegraded. Wooden windows and doors are environmentally friendly. Wood ages, but it can be gracefully renovated, unlike other materials.

Wooden windows have a special character and have always been a classic of the carpentry work. In addition to its ecological qualities, wood is a warm, tactile and a living material that brings a sense of well-being and elegance to any space.

Available in a wide range of colors, shapes and finishes, wooden windows are obviously irreplaceable. Whether installed in older buildings or in more modern residential and commercial projects, they will always remain an essential classic of exterior joinery.

From a technical point of view, wooden windows offer excellent performance: the structure of the frame is more stable and the profiles do not sag over time under the weight of the door or window. In case of fire, wooden windows resist longer and do not release dioxins or toxic gases, unlike other materials such as PVC.
