As a leading player in the market of weather-resistant wooden windows and doors, Mestre Raposa International® has adeptly addressed the unique challenges presented by Portugal’s demanding climate, characterized by up to 300 sunny days a year and the impactful influence of the Atlantic climate. In these conditions, the stress on wooden windows and doors is significantly higher, requiring a solution that goes beyond conventional expectations.

Contrary to common misconceptions, wood can be a highly viable and durable material for windows, provided it undergoes modern and high-quality processing. Mestre Raposa International® has been at the forefront of this advancement, pioneering the implementation of Accoya wood in wooden window projects along the coastline a decade ago. Remarkably, these installations show no signs of wear or deterioration to date.

Accoya timber windows boast unique advantages, including resistance to swelling, shrinking and rot. Through acetylation treatment, the wood attains a hardness surpassing that of teak or other tropical woods, leading to reduced damage to the coating and significantly extended window lifespans. Accoya even offers an impressive 50-year guarantee on the durability of the wood.
