Wooden window(durvis) profiles reasonably can be regarded as the most appropriate solution to living quarters - wooden windows in each house will generate their own unique warm cozy feeling that will never be able to provide full, not plastic or aluminum window design. Besides that, wooden window will always serve as an attractive part of the interior design.
As the wooden window manufacturers declare, yet a few years ago demand for wooden windows was negligible in comparison with today's on-going market. Overall, the market shows a positive trend to return to the centuries-tested values. It should be noted that the revival of the tradition there, is not only windows but also for many other construction and decoration materials selection and people more often prefer expensive, natural materials.
Unlike the old traditional wooden windows, where was used hardwood for manufacturing high quality windows, today wooden windows are produced using mainly the glued softwood parts. Wooden window manufacturing process is considerably longer and labor-intensive than, for example, plastic profile windows, which can be made in few minutes. And that is the main reason why wooden windows cost a lot more then plastic ones.
The second factor affecting prices is that wooden windows(durvis) made of natural material has been tested for several centuries – but after the latest technologies produced wooden windows, as claimed by manufacturers, should serve one hundred years or even more.
So long life yet does not prejudge any plastic window manufacturer, not at least because the plastic windows - world knows only a little bit more than half a century.

Wood floor restoration

If your wooden floor in the passage of time has lost the beauty, but you are not planing a new floor, it is really worth thinking about restoration. There are so many professionals out there who can tell you what you should do with your old wooden floor to make it look good again and to get the beauty back as it was when it was brand new. The most important thing of wooden floor restoration is to correctly remove the old lacquer, paint or oil and correctly cover it with new one. If some cases you will have to take take off all of the boards or some of them and then put them back for example if it squeaks.
Before you start restoration
First we would recommend you to find your local flooring expert and have a chat with him, would be very useful to hear what he has to say about the situation on your wooden floor. In most of the cases it doesn't cost anything.
If your wooden floor is painted then first you need to find out how many coatings it has.
If your floor is painted we would recommend you to hire an expert straight away. Because you don't know whats under the paint coating, there can be many problems that you couldn't really see at first and at the end you may end up with bigger costs and your precious time would be lost.
In case your floor is waxed you may just need to wax it again and the floor will look much better then before.
But before starting any work with the floor we would recommend to completely clear away all the furniture so the floor is ready for its make over.

Wooden houses
In the whole world, wooden houses have regained its prestige. This is one of the oldest and at the same time one of the best construction ways out there. Wood as building material in itself is an aesthetic value, and creates a comfortable and pleasant mood.
Wooden construction possibilities are limitless - from a comfortable home for our pets to the bath, garden and guest cottages, larger or smaller residential homes, as well as public buildings.
The core of the building has a wooden frame, which from both sides is covered of the envelope sheets and filled with insulating material.
The impression that the wooden houses are not long-living is not quite right. Well structured wooden houses can be very more comfortable than other type of houses, because of the way they are build and the materials that has been used in wooden houses.
Some say that people live longer if you live in wooden houses.
