Discover the benefits of wooden windows.
Windows are an important design element in your home and a substantial part of your total investment. You may have some ideas and design tips regarding how you would like them to look, but you also need to think about how they are made. When considering all of the options for window materials, you will find that the benefits of wooden windows make them a wise choice.
Beauty
Wooden windows that are made from quality wood frames are the perfect complement to historic or traditional homes. Natural materials convey a sense of warmth and stability that you can’t get with other materials. In fact, imitations made from other materials are often designed to look like real wood. In addition, the design options are endless because you can paint them to suit your preferred style and color scheme.
Insulation
It has been proven that wooden windows provide the best insulation. In fact, studies show that they are almost 2,000 times better at insulating than aluminum windows and insulate 400 times better than steel. That means they will keep out the bitter cold as well as the heat of the summer and as a result, you will have lower utility bills. Another benefit is that because they insulate so well when you choose wooden windows, you can enjoy the quiet. They are excellent at silencing the noise from outside.
Durability
Windows are a significant investment, so you want to get the best value possible. Wooden windows can potentially last a lifetime if they are cared for properly. When you look at it that way, they are actually more economical because they last. And, you never have to worry about them rusting. That makes wood windows the preferred choice for homes in areas that experience high humidity levels.
Stability
Wooden windows are firm and stable. They are not susceptible to expanding or increasing in size due to temperature increases.
