Wood is a material widely used in construction since ancient times. Since Paleolithic times it was already used to create tools. Later, with the improvement of the technique for cutting and carving, its use was extended to other fields, including construction. Today, the use of wood is so widespread that we could build an entire house exclusively using this material. 

The use of wood in doors and windows is something that has been done since ancient times, which has demonstrated its performance, response and operation over the centuries. In wood products, CO2 emissions are lower than in other materials. It is necessary to consider the removal of wood from the forest, the debarking, cutting and machining that takes place in sawmills or manufacturing plants, as well as the final processes of impregnation with preservatives and application of varnishes.

However, although the wood processing stages to obtain marketable products entail CO2 emissions, the process inherent to wood production offsets this balance, since trees are CO2 sinks during the years they grow until they are harvested. The energy balance of wood windows is better than that of other materials. Studies show that only about one eleventh of the amount of energy needed for other materials is required to manufacture a wooden window.

In addition, during use, thanks to its high thermal insulation and air tightness, it helps to save large amounts of energy. These energy savings pay for themselves in the short term. Only 1 centimeter of wood insulates as much as 10 cm of brick.

Wood, as a material for the manufacture of windows has numerous virtues, however, it is important to select the species used, for its specific characteristics of hardness, durability and resistance to the exterior, ease of machining, etc.
