WINDOWS
Wood is a very practical and sustainable building material. It is characterised by a long durability, high mechanical strength, and good heat insulation. Out of all available materials used in manufacturing of windows, wood is the one with the weakest heat conductivity. This makes it one of the best materials regarding heat insulation. By choosing wooden window frames, you will not only save heat for your home, you will also decrease heat emissions.
For centuries, people have used wood in construction. It creates a good micro-climate in your place of living, absorbs the excessive moisture from the outside and gives it out again when necessary. Windows and doors made out of this natural, high quality and ecological material makes for warm and cosy atmosphere indoors, and tasteful façade outdoors.
Most popular material for windows is pine-wood. We also make windows from other types of wood, like larch or oak. Wood is a long-lasting material, and it also isolates noise very well.

In case of damages or scratches, wooden windows may be renewed easily, while PVC windows stay damaged until they are replaced.
Unlike all other construction materials wood ''breathes'': the wood fibres constantly experience air circulation. This is how wooden windows in buildings keep their balanced level of oxygen and optimal humidity. Wood is an ecologically pure and natural construction material that has no negative effects on human health. Quite the opposite, it is proved that the warm and sunny colour of natural wood positively affects a persons mental state, calms the neural system, and creates good circumstances for a complete relaxation.
Wood possesses a certain sensitivity and consciousness which has been proved by scientific experiments. All religions, traditions and philosophies assign symbolical meaning to forests. Moreover, it has such a significance in our collective consciousness that often the mentalities and characters of different nations are connected with certain trees. For instance, in France, it is the oak tree, in Germany – larch, in Russia – birch, in Siberia – the fir, in Scandinavia – the ash-tree, in America – sequoia, in Africa – the baobab, in Canada – the maple, etc.

The frames of doors are made from vertically merged coniferous tree wooden beams. The frame is then filled with a stabilising fibre filler, and this framework is closed from both sides with even HDF plates. All ends and top edge are covered with a decorative film suited to the colour of the frame. NEW.
