Wood windows are now products filled with modern technology. They meet the highest demands regarding the four window priorities of energy efficiency, noise protection, security and functionality. As far as composition goes, we’ve not even begun to approach the limit.
Whether you decide for wood or wood/aluminum is really a question of architecture and taste. Even if our Twindows are fundamentally a bit more advanced as regards the topic of energy, wood windows can easily fulfill the standards required by more advanced energy concepts for houses, such as zero-energy building and passive house standards.
The rumor that wood windows don’t last as long as plastic windows is one that will not die. However, it’s simply not true. A well constructed, correctly installed wood window will last for nearly forever. The important thing to remember is that it needs to be protected by a glazing or opaque finish with sufficient pigmentation. The maintenance requirements for wood and plastic windows are similar.
