A Long History
Wood has been a popular construction material for centuries, and there are many reasons why it’s still a desirable option for windows today. Not only are wood windows aesthetically pleasing, especially on homes with a traditional or rustic style, but also they can be stained or painted to complement the rest of your home’s exterior colors. Plus, they offer effective insulation and will last a long time with the right maintenance.
Impressive Insulation
Did you know that wood windows will help insulate your home? During the winter, they will ensure that cold temperatures and chilly breezes can’t creep inside and disturb your cozy nest. And in summer, they will prevent the uncomfortable heat from seeping indoors. In addition to keeping your house more comfortable, this insulation will ensure that your heating and cooling systems don’t have to go into overdrive. That, in turn, will keep your electricity bills down. You might be surprised to learn that wood windows are just as insulating as aluminum and vinyl windows – sometimes even more so!
Long Life Expectancy
Wood windows can last for many years with proper maintenance. To ensure that your windows remain beautiful and durable, you will need to repaint and reseal them often to prevent the formation and exacerbation of cracks. Their insulative properties will weaken if they aren’t well maintained, which means that your electricity bills will start to climb again. Keep an eye on wood windows, and repair them when necessary using a high-quality sealant or sealing solution.
Wood window maintenance is especially important if you live in an area that receives a high amount of precipitation, as wood is vulnerable to water damage and staining. In addition, be sure that you choose a sealant that fights against water decay, water absorption, and termite damage.
