The supremacy of wooden windows
Since the antiquity, timber has been a construction material and a raw material for producing a wide range of goods. Due to its resistance and convenience to be treated, it is still used widely in architecture and public spaces, despite the emergence of other competitive materials. Wood is characterised by a wide variety in colours, textures and design, providing unequal aesthetics and a feeling of warmth to the touch and sight.
Wood is a very resilient and stable material and it has a high mechanical resistance compared to its weight. According to researches, construction timber is 20% more stable than steel and 4 to 5 times better than concrete. Moreover, it is a natural insulator because of the air molecules within its cellular structure. As insulation material, wood is 15 times more effective that stone, 400 times better than steel and 1770 times better than aluminium. The production and use of wood can contribute to the prevention of climate change and the protection of the environment, since it is a renewable material under specified production conditions. In USA and the Scandinavian, two of the top timber producing countries in the world, the forest areas are replanted, after every timber harvesting, in order to for the natural balance to be restored and the area to be used anew.
The above described timber’s properties, combined to tradition and advanced technology of wooden windows construction, render wooden windows as the most appropriate solution. At the same time, wooden windows remain always an option of high aesthetics for every constructive solution.
Laminated Wood Technology
Stability
The laminated technology (3 or 5 wood layers) prevents the natural distortion of wood.
Resistance
The welding process in high frequency renders the laminated timber much more resistant than solid wood.
Sustainability
The laminated wood panels are a natural product that contains no harmful materials such as plastic, oil etc.
