Wood types

  • Meranti — durable tropical hardwood, standard choice for renovation.
  • Spruce — less durable, often primed and factory opaque pre-painted.
  • Accoya — modified wood with class 1 durability.

A well-maintained wooden window frame can easily last 40 to 60 years. The lifespan is directly related to the quality of the paintwork and the detailing at the bottom sill.
