Wood Windows Technical Description
Wood	Windows are available manufactured from European spruce, larch, oak, and meranti. Meranti is a hardwood species with similar grain, color and physical properties to mahogany, but unlike mahogany is not considered an endangered species. Meranti is the standard species for painted products. Sash and frame components are milled to 68 mm (2.67”) thickness and 83 mm (3.26”) width to ensure strength and stability. Manufactured according to DIN 68360. Kiln dried to 12 – 15% moisture content.
Construction	Sash and frame components are manufactured with a 3 piece laminated construction for increased stability and warp resistance that far surpasses the stability of single piece construction. Profiles manufactured in accordance with DIN 68121. All part edges are machined with a 3 mm radius to ensure that the finishes do not crack. Sash and frame corners are joined with a double, through, mortise and tennon joint for superior strength, waterproofness, and longevity. Glazing cavities are vented to the exterior to substantially increase the life of the insulated glass and of the windows. Double rabbet, three step, overlay sash and frame construction. Interior stop glazed with concealed fasteners. Available with “schräge” or “profiliert” exterior profiles. Available with 28 mm (1.1”) or 40 mm (1.57”) simulated muntin bars, 43 mm (1.69”) true divided muntin bars, and 83 mm (3.26”) or 128 mm (5.03”) dividing rails.
Finishing	Stain or solid color exterior and interior finishes available.
