Wooden windows, made to measure

Wood is a good fit if:

• the character of the house matters, for example in an old town house or a classic villa;
• you want a natural material with a warm look;
• you value natural insulation;
• you accept that the finish needs attention from time to time.

1. Sun and UV

   Direct sun dries out the finish and fades the colour, especially on south- and west-facing sides. Those windows need attention sooner than windows in the shade.

2. Salt air and humidity

   Salt and moisture find any weak spot in the finish. Wood near the sea needs a good coating and regular checks, so that small damage is repaired before water gets in.

3. Insulation and noise

   Wood insulates naturally. With good glass and seals, wooden windows perform well against heat and noise.

4. Large openings

   Wood can be used for larger windows and doors, but the frames are usually wider than aluminium. For very wide sliding doors, aluminium is often the more practical choice.

Wooden windows are protected by their finish: either a paint system that covers the wood, or a stain or oil that keeps the grain visible. On the coast, a finish that lets the wood breathe while keeping water out works best. Colour matters too: lighter shades generally last longer in full sun than dark ones.

At the survey we explain the options and tell you honestly what maintenance to expect for your house.

Plan on periodic maintenance. Clean the frames a few times a year, check the finish every year, particularly at the bottom of the frame and on the sunny sides, and touch up small damage straight away. Every few years, depending on sun and exposure, the windows need a fresh coat. Done regularly, this keeps wooden windows in good condition for a long time.

Wood fits naturally in the older houses of the historic centres of Jávea and Dénia, and in classic villas with wooden shutters and beams. Some owners choose wood on the street side, where character counts, and another material on the sea side, where exposure is greatest.

We measure every opening and discuss the type of wood, the profile, the glass and the finish with you. You receive a clear quote in writing; once you agree, we ask for a deposit and the windows are made to measure, delivered to your home and installed by our fitters.

Prices for wooden windows depend heavily on those choices, so we give them after measuring. See the prices page, or compare with aluminium and PVC.

We install wooden windows in Jávea, Moraira and Dénia, and in Benissa, Teulada, Calpe, Benitachell, Pedreguer, Gata de Gorgos, Ondara, El Verger, Els Poblets and Orba.
