Wood windows are popular in listed historic buildings as well as neighborhoods with building codes that require a historical look. As a material, wood also offers the flexibility of being able to take a wide range of paints, stains and finishes. Vinyl, on the other hand, is more limited. Wood does tend to be in a higher price range compared to other materials which is due to two main things. First, only high quality woods are used such as mahogany, meranti, oak, and spruce. Second, they are also finished with different surface treatments to improve their weather resistance, ability to repel water and their overall look. Most of this process is done by hand, not machine. Complement your project with high-quality wood and give it a one-of-a-kind look that will be appreciated for decades to come.
