So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Shortcomings Of Wooden Windows On Homes

By David Campbell


Properly installed wooden windows are useful on homes in a number of ways. They are the best in terms of heat conservation, environmental friendliness, external noise reduction, and affordability. They come in various styles including double gazing and sash. They can also be used as replacement windows. Their high quality makes them good for interior design and home improvement. Most home designers advise on use of these products because of various benefits associated with them.

Wooden windows come in various dimensions that fit various home requirements. They can be fitted in metallic, vinyl, plastic or wooden frames among others. Timber used to make them can be used in its raw state or it can be processed first. Processing involves drying and treating so as to protect against destruction by insects and bugs. Treated wood can last over a century depending on the amount of care given to it and climatic conditions.

Wooden windows are best for heat conservation particularly in cold areas. Wood is a perfect insulator and aids in making sure that enough heat is maintained in the residence during winter. This is attained because wooden casements maintain close contact once shut hence decreasing leakage of hot air from interior rooms. Cold air from the surrounding is also prevented from entering into the rooms. Minimized air exchange assists in cutting down on heating costs by retaining warmth.

Wood also has the advantage of being strong. Treated timber is very strong especially if the tree its derived from is hard wood. This enables it to resist any form of forced entry into a home. Cutting also takes substantial amount of time which would be enough to alert the homeowner. Other materials such as metals and alloys could be used to reinforce timber to achieve more strength.

Timber is a low-priced product and therefore makes these commodities economical and cheap. The price of wood is generally lower compared to many other materials used in making casements. Replacing wooden casements is also less expensive because of availability of equipments for manipulating wood. Major equipments required to repair and make them consist of saws, measuring equipments, hammers, and nails.

These commodities are simpler to wash comparing to others built from different materials. Timber cannot be made into complex architectures that hide grime and make cleaning hard. The polish coated on their surfaces makes stain not capable of permanently sticking on them. Stains can be removed using suitable detergent whereas dust can be wiped out.

Operation of these commodities is easy and noise-less. Parts that make direct contact do not generate loud noise as is the case in metallic components when they move along each other. This capability makes operation noiseless and frictionless. This minimizes tear and wear and enhances safety because thugs cannot notice when someone is opening or shutting them.

Wooden windows look very beautiful on homes due to their beauty. Their use on homes raises both the aesthetic and monetary values of residences. Beautiful homes fetch a higher price when placed on the market for sell.
