Wooden houses (timber, beam) have become extremely popular in the last 2-3 years. Modern technologies have
eliminated the disadvantages of wood – danger of fire and rotting. Thanks to special processing and impregnation the main
quality of pine houses is stressed – their favourable and healthy microclimate.

texture. Transom is made in Russian style – blind upper fan-light, two casements. |
Non-standard decision: division of balcony block repeats the picture of windows. |

It’s not rhetoric – in the country house we all look for an escape from the city pressure; the pressure
of dust, smog and traffic jams; the pressure of the office stuffy air. Wooden house is a natural continuation of
surroundings; pine walls are not barrier, but warm filter between a man and nature. Because of the difference of outside and
inside atmosphere pressure, the air slowly infiltrates through wooden structure, acquires optimum humidity and satiates
with tar filters. In a wooden house you have fresh air and sleep well. Now we know that this all has great value – the life
speed is increasing every day – so we build houses for ourselves, not for show. But, of course, we are prejudiced. Wooden
windows and wooden houses have so much in common. Wooden windows, installed even in a common city apartment, make the
microclimate better, create hermetic effect without insulation.
2) Window casing and slopes. Economy in this aspect
will lead to the following: delicate joints of the window and the wall will be closed by battens and boards. The tender
music of wooden house will be spoiled. In a brick house outside joints of windows and walls are plastered, inside slopes
are either plastered or covered with plastic – but in a wooden house only wood is appropriate. Do you remember patterned
casings on Russian huts? It wasn’t just a decoration, it also was a practical necessity.

3) Wooden windows have one interesting feature:
they “want” transom. Beam walls give so much comfort, that you want to stress it even more. Transom makes the walls more
home-like and the house unique, gives it its own character.
 |
 |
You cannot, but notice “partial” transom: the owner showed much taste in
filling large window space. |
 |
 |
Different house brings different solution. The windows are not as big, so a usual variant of transom is made. The color of the windows fits the tile. |
Inside: “golden teak” color goes with Inside texture maintanance. |
Transom may be of different types: outer mullions, fit-in mullion, the division of the window into casements
and upper ventlight and so on. Outer mullion is the most beautiful: it’s elegant, dainty and gives space to your imagination
when choosing the windows.

The division of the transom by fit-in mullions goes with bottom casements. |
The same inside. |
Though the outer mullion is not cheap, it’s not worth economizing on it. Look at the photographs, try to
imagine the house without transom and you’ll see the change immediately: the house becomes dull, featureless. By the way,
the technology of reliable fixation of outer mullions to the glass was worked out and patented by “D.O.M. Windows” Company.

Be frank, the house needs transom, doesn’t it? |
The pattern of transom of outer mullions. The wider checked mullion was chosen. |

Protective film A2 on outer glass pane did not let a criminal inside. Film A1 on inner
glass pane prevented the getting of broken glass into the room. |
If your house is made of beam, the wooden windows should be installed with the help
of anchor plate, but not long solid bolts.
Why so?
When a beam house is
built it gives shrinkage in the first few years and the wooden windows installed with plates will “swim” together with the
wall. The danger of wedging and warping is prevented. Slopes and casings are made on the spot and always individually
designed. Our specialists will consider all the details that can afterwards spoil all your happiness of having a new house.
