About the products

Wooden windows combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. They are the ideal solution for passive buildings that place emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Wooden windows are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also an excellent choice for those who want to live in an energy efficient home.

One of the main reasons why timber windows are ideal for passive buildings is their excellent insulating capacity. Wood naturally provides a high thermal insulation value, which means that it retains heat inside the house while preventing the cold from entering from outside. This property is key to achieving low energy requirements in passive houses.

In addition to excellent thermal insulation, wooden windows also have excellent acoustic properties. They help to reduce the penetration of noise from outside into the house, creating a peaceful and quiet environment for its inhabitants. This is important not only for comfort, but also for maintaining the atmosphere of tranquillity that is typical of passive houses.

Wood is also a natural material, which means that its use contributes to the environmental sustainability of the building. With proper management of forest resources, timber can be a renewable material and thus have a lower environmental footprint compared to other building materials.

Manufacturers of wooden windows are also increasingly trying to increase the durability and resistance of their products to weathering and insects. Modern wood processing technologies and surface treatments ensure that wooden windows last for many years without major maintenance work.

When choosing wooden windows for a passive house, it is also important to pay attention to the correct installation system. Sealing elements and quality installation are key to achieving optimum energy efficiency. In addition, it is advisable to choose windows with low thermal transmittance and high weather resistance.
