What woods should be used to make windows?
Question:
Answers:
Double hung windows are traditionally made of hemlock or fir, same as doors. Both are far more stable, once properly dried, than other softwoods like pine.
It depends on how expensive you want to get. Pine would be your cheapest, with an oak being on the higher end. No matter what wood you use, it needs to be stained or painted to keep the eliminates away to keep it from rotting. Have you compared the price of a window that is all ready made with vinyl compared to making your own. Vinyl is never going to rot and might safe you some headaches from making your own.
