Timber windows: Why does timber continue to rule?

Timber is one of the oldest materials used for construction of furniture and remains to be the most popular till date. Many alternate materials have evolved over time; some cheaper some expensive and some low on maintenance. Despite of all these developments, timber windows and timber doors never cease to attract people! Why is that so?
  • First of all, the variety available within timber is remarkable with Oak, Larch, Sitka Spruce, Norway Spurce, Douglas Fir, European Fir, Scots Pine, Pitch Pine, Western Red Cedar, Cedar, Ash, Beech, Tropical Timbers, etc.
  • Timber doors in Melbourne are excellent insulators against the temperature outside which in turn largely reduces the electricity consumption of the household reducing the load on coolers and heaters.
  • Energy efficiency is not just the only way timber is environmentally friendly. Timber being a natural by-product decomposes completely causing no harm to the environment with the emission of gases or non decomposable parts.
