Types of ordinary wooden windows without double glazing
First, let's look at what structures have been used in the village since ancient times.
They were installed in utility rooms, small corridors and hallways.
These windows for a country house were considered “elite” and were used in halls, bedrooms and kitchens. They could have windows, various decorations of platbands and glazing beads. The richest owners made carved decorations and closed them off from the street with beautiful doors.
Part of the opening was blind, and part was opened/closed with rotary doors. This is the most convenient design, used for universal use.
What was the “joinery” made of?
The most commonly used wood species were softwood. Joinery products from them:
- tolerate moisture well
- have good heat saving performance
- Easily processed with various carpentry tools and machines
The price of coniferous wood is considered the lowest. Of course, more expensive species were also used: oak, beech, ash, etc., but not everyone could afford it.
Windows were painted only with oil paints - they both looked beautiful and served as additional protection for wooden structures from putrefactive processes.
How to turn glass for wooden windows into double glazing?
The availability of various sealants with excellent characteristics on sale makes this task very simple.
- Glass for wooden windows is well washed on both sides, degreased and dried. For work, you should choose the most dry weather possible. You need to work with glass very carefully, not to leave fingerprints on the inner surface.
- Apply a thin layer of any gel sealant into the profile groove; the woodwork must be absolutely dry. There is no need to apply a lot, otherwise the excess sealant will become noticeable.
- Carefully insert the glass into place and press it. Apply a second layer of sealant under the glazing bead and secure the glazing bead. On this side you don’t have to be particularly careful; excess sealant can be easily removed.
- Perform the same actions with the glass on the other side of the window.
Cost of natural wooden windows
Today, not everyone can afford to buy natural wooden windows. Why? Glued laminated timber is a high-tech material that costs a lot of money.
Making windows from natural, premium wood is now becoming a costly endeavor. Plus skilled and hard work - this results in an impressive amount.

Disadvantages of simple windows
Old wooden windows without double glazing are characterized by high strength, but do not look aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, they also have other disadvantages that repel buyers. Therefore, before you buy ordinary wooden windows, you should carefully familiarize yourself with their weaknesses in comparison with modern analogues.
Thermal insulation
The sound and thermal insulation parameters of Soviet windows directly depend on the thickness of the glass and sashes. They are also affected by the seal between the sash and the window frame, the quality of the fittings, and compliance with the installation rules in the opening.
Old products have a 0.4 cm flap, which does not allow for multi-profile milling or creating a pair of joining contours with the sealing part.
Due to these features, the designs are not able to guarantee good protection from cold and street noise. Modern options do not have these disadvantages.
However, in some workshops, the “carpentry” (wooden windows) is additionally equipped with double-glazed windows with tinting at the request of consumers. The presence of this layer protects the interior from infrared radiation (in comparison with advanced glass models, an ordinary window allows infrared radiation to pass through).

Durability
When planning to buy simple wooden windows made from natural material, it is important to make sure that they were created in compliance with manufacturing technology. This determines their service life and reliability. At the same time, designs made from wood are inferior to models made from PVC in terms of durability, because... the latter contain metal reinforcement, which provides resistance to deformation, temperature changes or the negative effects of high humidity and aggressive compounds. The declared service life of a high-quality plastic window exceeds a couple of decades.
Conventional wooden windows for an apartment are equipped with a profile made of laminated veneer lumber impregnated with special antiseptic compounds. This makes them durable and extremely durable with a service life of up to 80 years.
The price is standard, but a window using natural raw materials may be subject to sash distortion during production. These structures also contain cracks and voids through which moisture passes and condensation accumulates, which contributes to fogging of the glass and rotting of the material.
If the room is in conditions of high humidity, the frame will begin to swell and warp.
The presence of knots in the tree leads to their drying out and falling out, which leaves unpresentable holes in the window. In addition, wood profiles often contain pockets of resin.
Natural material is susceptible to attack by insects and pests such as borers and woodworms. In the process of life, they destroy the inside of the frame, worsening its insulating properties and durability. Wood is susceptible to mold and is characterized by rapid flammability, which also shortens its service life.
Blowing/tightness
Classic glazing options and a single wooden window cannot guarantee airtightness. Due to drying or swelling of the profile, large cracks form in the wood, which allow street air to pass through and lead to the appearance of condensation, puddles on the windowsill or ice. Further, the holes increase in size, causing a number of troubles during the cold season.
First of all, the owners of the building begin to complain about drafts and a rapid decrease in indoor temperature.
If you wish, you can insulate wooden windows yourself without double-glazed windows. However, such work will take a lot of time and require effort. Therefore, many people prefer replacing old windows with more advanced PVC designs. They are sold with an insulating base and have a high density. This increases the tightness and prevents drafts.
Appearance
The price for a regular wooden window is set taking into account a lot of factors. Despite their greater strength and attractive design, the structures are quite expensive. The production and production of modern windows requires a lot of effort, which affects their cost. And making a window with your own hands is problematic, and the production of wooden window frames on an industrial scale is practically not carried out.
To maintain a presentable appearance, it is necessary to properly maintain window structures, paint and tighten them, and also monitor the condition of the hinges.
Advanced profiles can remain beautiful even after 10-20 years of use. At the same time, they do not need to be painted or undergo complex maintenance measures for the fittings.
Even when using the best types of wood, wooden windows will become distorted and begin to deteriorate under the influence of drafts, humidity and ultraviolet radiation. Under such circumstances, even routine maintenance will not improve the appearance of the structure.
Traditional wooden windows: naturalness, beauty and durability
The best choice for glazing a country house, gazebo, bathhouse or veranda would be wooden windows without double-glazed windows, the price of which is significantly different from PVC windows. Wooden windows will appeal to fans of the eco-friendly style, which has become widespread today. Frames made of natural material will harmoniously emphasize the sophistication and beauty of a country cottage made of natural wood. In addition, the windows are easy to install and easy to use.
Advantages of Soviet carpentry windows
Wooden windows without double glazing for an apartment have many advantages. The key feature is naturalness and compliance with all environmental standards. The material also “breathes” well and maintains a comfortable level of moisture in the room.
The use of a wide range of species expands the color palette and allows you to find the optimal shade for any style of room. These frames also have a simple design that is easy to restore in case of damage. You can repair windows yourself in 30 minutes, without using special tools or equipment.
Since ordinary wooden windows are made from affordable timber, prices for finished products remain affordable. Depending on the design, there are:
- Separate - the glass is installed in a separate sash.
- With a paired binding, which provides for the simultaneous glazing of 2 frames connected with a special bolt.
Soviet models have a sealing element, and products with a paired frame are equipped with fittings that change the intensity of the fit of the sashes. Modern products are manufactured according to similar principles using suitable profiles. Among the main advantages are:
- Reliability.
- Increased sound insulation properties.
- Long service life.
- Natural appeal and texture.
- Easy to maintain and maintain.
Old-style models provide a comfortable microclimate inside the building, maintaining stable air temperature and humidity.
With proper use, they can serve their owners for many years without being subject to deformation. Subtleties of care include regular washing and applying special impregnations to the surface of the wood. In most cases, a paint base is used.
We offer a wide selection of frames with different finishes. It plays both a decorative and practical role, protecting the wood from wear and tear. When choosing a suitable coating, you need to consider its cost. To cut costs, you can use acrylic paint or varnish and apply it yourself.
Wooden windows in the interior
Windows, designed correctly, taking into account the specified functions and the general style of the interior, can decorate the interior space of the room more effectively than any other element of interior decor. Unusual designs today are slowly but surely replacing familiar windows from the interiors of our apartments. The configuration and appearance of a modern window structure depends only on the artistic thought of the interior designer. But the reality is that in our high-rise buildings the window openings are standard, so it’s quite difficult to come up with something extraordinary and unusual.
Interior of the house
Today, PVC profile windows are in fashion - they are convenient, practical, do not require maintenance or painting, but, nevertheless, many of us prefer ordinary wooden ones. It is quite easy to explain this fact: modern wooden structures in their practical indicators are practically no different from their metal-plastic counterparts. Wood has always been considered an environmentally friendly material, which is certainly not capable of harming human health. Despite the popularity and widespread use of plastic, many owners of apartments and houses are gradually returning to ordinary windows, despite all the minor shortcomings of such structures.
Pros and cons of wooden windows
It should be noted that at present the design of such windows is somewhat different from the usual examples that were previously installed in window openings. Modern wooden windows with double-glazed windows are virtually no different in functionality from their common plastic counterparts. Inside such a structure there is the same sealed double-glazed window, but the frame of such an instance looks much more presentable and aesthetically pleasing.
Wooden window in the room
Wooden windows with double glazing advantages:
- structural strength;
- airtightness;
- excellent thermal insulation properties;
- increased sound insulation;
- durability;
- aesthetic appearance.
To be fair, it should be noted that wood, like any material, has disadvantages, these include:
- flammability;
- instability to various types of mechanical deformation;
- susceptibility to corrosion.
However, despite these minor shortcomings, these double-glazed windows can increasingly be seen on the facades of private houses, apartments and various institutions.
By the way, the correct name for such structures is wood-aluminum. In their production, wood and aluminum profiles are used, which is why this design is not only highly durable, but also resistant to external climatic influences. Wooden-aluminum windows have a long service life - 80 years.
Types of construction
The design may be different. She may be:
- deaf;
- swing (there are openable doors);
- combined (there are blind areas and openable doors).
The most common option is the combined design, which has even pushed into the background the familiar and comfortable wooden windows with a window.
Beautiful stylish windows can decorate not only the interior of a room, but also decorate the facade of any building. This issue is especially relevant for buildings of historical and architectural value. In their non-standard window openings, a metal-plastic structure will look ridiculous, which is why the facade of such buildings is most often decorated with arched windows. This design also fits harmoniously into the exterior of country cottages. Arched windows give the house an elegant and cozy look.
How to install wooden windows correctly?
Installing window structures made of wood is practically no different from installing plastic ones, but doing such work yourself is quite problematic. In order to install wooden windows correctly, you need to have practical skills and special tools. How warm and cozy the house will be depends entirely on how well the installation is done - if the structure is installed incorrectly and unfairly, the tightness of the double-glazed window may be compromised.
Standard windows
Standard wooden window structures are a harmonious combination of excellent quality at an affordable price. The manufacturing technology for these is quite simple; the main components of Euro-windows, as this type is popularly called, are a new generation of double-glazed windows and laminated wood beams. This window system is distinguished by its laconic universal design and practicality. Combining advanced technologies and natural, environmentally friendly materials, modern manufacturers create truly practical and durable wooden windows that delight their owners with impeccable appearance and comfortable functionality.
Where are simple carpentry windows used now?
If you are interested in where old-style windows still remain, you need to visit any remote village or town with dachas. Wood products are an endangered type of window structures, as they are being replaced by more affordable metal-plastic analogues. In urban environments, it is very rare to come across such a product. Service companies are actively replacing them with metal-plastic solutions.
At the same time, owners of old country frames often turn them into a design element for a greenhouse or veranda, and also use them to create partitions between rooms.
When designed correctly, simple wooden windows will complement the interior style concept and fill the building with comfort and light. Original designs are actively gaining popularity, displacing familiar products from the market. Their configuration and design can be quite bold and creative. Depending on the design, window designs are:
- Deaf. Representatives of this group are inexpensive and easy to install. Often, blind models are installed in basements, specialized extensions, hallways or corridors.
- Hinged (with openable doors). Such models have always been among the most elite. To decorate them, windows or carved elements with finishing decorations were installed. Frame with 2 doors is suitable for kitchen space, hall or bedroom.
- Combined (have blind points and openable doors). They are distinguished by their versatility and are made in the form of a frame that opens partially.
The last option is the most popular. A properly designed product can decorate both the interior and the facade of the building. Thanks to this, old models are in demand for those premises that are historical or architectural heritage.
It is impractical to place a metal-plastic structure in a non-standard opening, so designers give preference to arched options. They can be found in the harmonious exterior of cottages and country houses.
If the window is installed correctly (step-by-step installation instructions for beginners are provided on thematic forums with the keywords: “how to install”, “installation”, “install”), it can last for many years without deformation or premature wear.
