Sustainable, Beautiful and Versatile

Oregon pine, also known as Douglas fir, has been used in construction for many years because of its unique properties. This type of wood is very popular for window frames, and that is no coincidence. Oregon pine window frames combine durability with a timeless look and are therefore ideal for both traditional and modern construction projects. Below we discuss the benefits, maintenance requirements and finishing options of Oregon pine window frames, and why this type of wood is a sensible choice for your home or project.

The benefits of Oregon Pine for window frames

Oregon Pine has a number of characteristics that make it perfect for window frames:

Aesthetic appearance: The warm, reddish brown colour and fine grain structure give Oregon Pine frames a natural, elegant look. The wood type is also easy to treat, making it adaptable to different styles and finishes.

Insulating capacity: Oregon Pine has excellent thermal properties, which helps insulate a home. This reduces heat loss and contributes to lower energy bills.

Rift or quarter sawn wood: Rift wood provides greater stability, increased durability and an attractive, consistent appearance—all properties that make it ideal for window frames.

Benefits of Oregon Pine Rift or Quarter Sawn

Boogaerdt Hout's stock is almost entirely quarter sawn (Rift). But what advantages does this give you? Rift wood has a number of clear advantages for frames, mainly due to the unique way in which the wood is sawn:

Stability: Rift wood is sawn so that the grain of the wood runs straight and parallel to the plank. This makes the wood less susceptible to warping or deformation due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. This is especially important for window frames, as they are exposed to various weather conditions.

Aesthetics: The even and straight grain gives rift wood a sleek, consistent appearance, which looks great in window frames and suits modern architectural styles.

Resistance to warping: quarter sawn (rift sawn) has a low shrinkage and expansion coefficient, making it much more stable and therefore more suitable for window frame applications

In short, rift wood provides better stability, increased durability, and an attractive, consistent appearance—all properties that make it ideal for window frames.

Maintenance of Oregon Pine window frame wood

Like any type of wood, Oregon Pine window frames require regular maintenance to maintain their quality and appearance. Fortunately, this wood is relatively maintenance-friendly:

Protective layer: To optimally protect the frame, it is advisable to provide the wood with a layer of varnish or paint. This protects the wood against moisture and UV radiation.

Periodic cleaning: A simple cleaning with mild soap and water will help remove dirt and dust. This will prevent the protective layer from wearing off and keep the frames in top condition.

To update: If necessary, the protective layer can be updated after a few years. This is usually a simple job and ensures that the wood does not weather.

Conclusion
