Profiles suited to every project: new builds and renovations
At Mestre Raposa, we offer a wide range of wooden window profiles designed to fit all types of buildings, whether for new construction or renovation. Each custom wooden joinery piece meets precise technical requirements while respecting the aesthetics of your project.
Available in high-quality wood (Nordic pine, oak, meranti, Accoya®), our profiles are designed to offer:
- Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation,
- Compatibility with double or triple glazing,
- A customizable design to match your facade’s style,
- Perfect integration into both historic and contemporary buildings.
Exterior finishes: durability and aesthetics
Our exterior wooden windows undergo a multi-step finishing process: sanding, application of a water-repellent primer, followed by two coats of professional-grade stain or paint. This treatment creates a strong barrier against moisture, fungi, and UV rays.
The exterior wood finishes can be either tinted or opaque, according to your aesthetic preferences. Thanks to our full range of RAL shades and varnishes, we offer custom wooden windows that combine durability with elegance.
Protection against UV and weather
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme weather can affect the appearance and performance of joinery. That’s why we place particular emphasis on UV protection for wooden windows.
Our technical finishes are designed to resist UV rays, reduce the risk of cracking, and slow the aging of the wood. When combined with regular maintenance, they keep your exterior wooden joinery in excellent condition for decades.
The return of colored wood: current trends
Gone are the days of bare wood or natural-toned varnishes! Colored wood is making a comeback in contemporary architecture. Today, colored wooden windows are sought after for their ability to adapt to any style: deep black for an industrial look, sage green for a chic country house, or matte white for a heritage renovation.
Our color range is extensive and can be applied to both the exterior and interior faces of the joinery, giving you total freedom of customization.
Maintaining wooden windows: simple and essential
Contrary to popular belief, maintaining wooden windows is now simple and quick. Thanks to the professional finishing products applied in the workshop, maintenance comes down to a few easy steps:
- Clean with a soft sponge, warm water, and a neutral soap,
- Perform an annual visual inspection to spot any potential issues,
- Do occasional touch-ups without the need for full sanding.
With today’s finishes, periodic light maintenance is enough to keep your durable wooden windows looking great and performing thermally for years to come. Annual visual checks and minor touch-ups will ensure their longevity.
