Replacement windows for cedar house

Cedar windows if chosen correctly have an incomparable beauty, available normally in red and white siding options, these windows can be custom built to suit specific housing and environmental needs.

Red cedar is generally more durable then white cedar, also more natural looking. But keep in mind the type of variety you are looking for. The different types of red cedars are categorized by their grain patterns, with the narrowest and thickest grain patterns offering better performance. The unfinished and natural looked of weathered cedar would look great on a house with similar color scheme, but it is often unadvisable to use this type since it requires long term maintenance, and would not perform well if left untreated. Also the weathering adaption will depend on the type of weather it faces, which means the window in the shadier portion of the house may turn out to be weathered differently than the rest. However if like me, u find a weathered cedar just too irresistible, ask for a coated one. Coating solutions and factory coated windows are readily available in the market.

White Cedar is much different than the red cedar, mainly because comes from a different type of forest and quite obviously a different tree. Not only is it’s look unique, but it has different grain characteristics too. Highly recommended for the “beach” look, these windows can be bought in stained combinations too, if you’re not very comfortable with the silver gray tint that characterizes and unfinished window.
