Wood Windows

Wood windows have many advantages. It’s a natural insulator and a poor conductor of heat. Therefore, they’re energy-efficient. Wood windows offer that warm look no other window frame material can match. Wood is also highly customizable thanks to the many wood stain and paint options.

However, wood windows have their disadvantages, too. Without regular maintenance, such as exterior paint touch-up, they rot. What’s more, without a protective cladding, such as aluminum, they get damaged easily from hail and infested with insects. Wood windows also have a tendency to swell when wet, making them difficult to operate. It is their disadvantages that led to the window replacement we completed for this house in Platteville, CO.
