High-performance wood windows for superior thermal insulation
At Mestre Raposa, we design high-performance wood windows that combine durability, comfort, and technical innovation. Our custom joinery incorporates next-generation insulating glazing, eco-friendly woods like Accoya®, and solutions that enhance indoor air quality.
Accoya®: a modified wood that’s stable and durable
Accoya® is a wood modified through acetylation, a non-toxic treatment that ensures exceptional dimensional stability. It does not warp under humidity or temperature variations. This stable and eco-friendly wood is ideal for long-lasting wood joinery, especially in exposed areas or passive buildings.
Accoya wood windows offer exceptional longevity (up to 50 years outdoors), require minimal maintenance, and resist insects and mold without chemical treatment. They are perfectly suited to ecological projects or high-energy performance requirements.
Swisspacer: a warm edge spacer for high-performance glazing
Our insulating glazing features the Swisspacer warm edge spacer, which enhances the thermal efficiency of the joinery. With extremely low thermal conductivity, Swisspacer reduces energy loss around the edges of the glazing, limiting thermal bridges and minimizing the risk of interior condensation. The result? Wood windows with reinforced thermal insulation, ideal for passive houses, cold climates, or low-energy buildings.
Antibacterial handles for everyday hygiene
At Mestre Raposa, innovation is not limited to thermal or aesthetic performance – we also focus on health and hygiene. This is why we offer optional antibacterial handles for our wood doors and windows.
These handles are made from special materials containing active agents with metallic ions, capable of neutralizing up to 99.9% of common bacteria. This permanent treatment is integrated into the material itself, so it does not wear off over time or with use.
Ideal for high-traffic areas or sensitive environments, these handles are discreet and elegant, providing long-lasting hygienic protection without compromising the design of your joinery. A simple and effective way to enhance sanitary safety in your spaces.

FAQ
What is Accoya® and why choose it for windows?
Accoya® is a wood modified through an acetylation process. It delivers exceptional durability, does not warp, is highly resistant to humidity, and requires no chemical treatments. It’s the ideal choice for sustainable and long-lasting wood joinery.
What role does the Swisspacer spacer play in glazing?
The Swisspacer warm edge spacer enhances the thermal performance of glazing by reducing thermal bridges along the edges. It minimizes heat loss and condensation while improving the energy efficiency of your windows.
What are the benefits of antibacterial handles for doors and windows?
Antibacterial handles reduce the presence of microbes and bacteria on frequently touched surfaces. They provide discreet, long-lasting hygienic protection, ideal for high-traffic environments such as schools, hotels, or public buildings – all without altering design or user comfort.
