Old solid-wood windows are no longer a good option nowadays due to the fact that they are not airtight and therefore are unable to meet the current energy-efficiency requirements.
But technology has advanced, and nowadays you can opt for laminated wood windows which are an excellent option for those who love the appearance of wooden windows but also want to enjoy all the advantages of modern windows. Window companies such as DMD Window & Door have a great variety of window products to select from that are very durable and insulated.
Laminated wood profiles are obtained by gluing several raw wooden boards, in layers and at different sizes, depending on the purpose that the profile will serve.
Compared to solid wood, laminated wood profiles bring several significant advantages. Because the individual boards can be dried and treated separately, and the nodes and other defects can be removed more easily, the strength of the resulted structure is improved. Also, since the boards are laminated, manufacturers can use even smaller wooden segments thereby reducing the total loss of wood and lowering the final price for the customer.
These windows have a high degree of thermal insulation, which means that they preserve the temperature of the indoor environment. But, unlike PVC windows, they allow natural ventilation and avoid the condensation-related problems.
Precisely due to the process of making laminated wood, these types of windows offer the stability specific to PVC profiles but without expanding or contracting based on the temperatures to which they are exposed. In addition, the advantage of wood carpentry is that it "breathes" permanently, by the nature of the material, thus avoiding the accumulation of moisture in the points of contact with the wall and the formation of mold.
