Wooden windows for your rental property in Mallorca: Yes or no?

Preparing you rental property in Mallorca for all seasons is a great way to attract more clients and offer an all-round and pleasant service. One of the biggest internal debates which we are sure you will have is deciding what windows to choose, they must be efficient when it comes to maintaining an even temperature in the property or blocking out outside noise. At Portvil, the holiday rental specialists, we will be explaining the advantages and inconveniences of using wood for your properties windows.


Noble, elegant and natural


Aluminium and pvc are some of the most commonly used materials for constructing and renovating windows. Their ease of maintenance make them the obvious choice on many occasions when it comes to imagining a properties windows. However, wood can be a great material to have in mind as it has a natural essence and aesthetic that other textures don’t have. This factor is undeniable. The organic structure of a tree adds an elegant and noble touch to the property.


Your rental property in Mallorca, well insulated


In regards to the energy that this material exudes, you have to know that there is a certain way to measure it: the thermal transmittance of the framework. In greater values, more energy passes and that’s why, it performs worse during insulation. Aluminium is in first place, therefore it is the worst insulator, with 3.2. Pvc and wood are the ones which insulate the most, with 2.2 and 2.1 respectively, wood being the clear winner in this aspect.


Another factor to have in mind is the eco-friendliness of each and every one of these products. During production, installation and transportation, wood barely contaminates, whilst pvc and aluminium contamination rates soar.


Cons of using wood in windows


Wood doesn’t always win against its other competitors. This product requires various care treatments, amongst them is its special treatment against the penetration of humidity in a home’s interior, which also sets its durability. This is a fundamental aspect for the liveability of the property and its use over the years of the wood. Depending on the climate and the orientation of your property, wood needs more treatments and checks than pvc and aluminium. The coat of varnish must be redone periodically, although today there are advanced protectors which achieve long lasting results.


Environmentalism and good taste


In summary, wood is a great option for decorating your home with elegance and taste and to be conscious of contaminating as little as possible during production, installation and transportation. On the contrary, its maintenance requires more attention to be paid to it by the property owner. If you are a person who is conscious of their environmental footprint then this is definitely the material for you. It can give your property a differing charm which nowadays is very hard to find.
