Why Wood
Authentic warmth
that no other material matches
Real wood windows have been the standard in Bay Area homes for well over a century, and for good reason. The richness of natural grain, the depth of a hand-applied finish, and the historical accuracy of profiles true to the original simply cannot be replicated by any engineered substitute.
- Unparalleled visual warmth and natural character

- Required in some historic landmark properties and certain design review districts
- Available in mahogany, Douglas fir, alder, and pine
- Good thermal insulation when properly maintained and sealed
- Can be repaired rather than replaced if sections are damaged
