Wood has been used for hundreds of years as the most common choice for home windows. It’s easy to work with, strong, and a very good insulator. Wood complements many forms of traditional home architecture. Like any material though, wood offers both benefits and downsides:
Benefits:
Wood is visually appealing, especially with a clear finish emphasizing the natural wood appearance
Easy to paint, allowing wide choice of custom colors and designs
Able to be stained in a variety of finishes
Wood provides excellent insulation
Offers traditional look that fits many home styles
Downsides:
Exterior wooden frames require regular maintenance, even when sealed or painted, touch ups are required
If not properly sealed/painted, wooden windows can be prone to wood rot.
Nonetheless, a properly maintained wood window is a thing of beauty and can last for decades. Rayco Door and Window offers a wide choice of wooden windows to match any architectural style. We are an authorized dealer for following window manufacturers:
