As a 'natural insulator' wood adds considerably to the overall insulating performance of a window and door, and it requires energy in its processing than other materials It is also recognised that hardwood windows improve a buildings aesthetics. Mitre Master offer a choice of durable, West African Utile hardwood and Sapele.
The Made-to-Measure Benefits of Mitre Master

Windows are built locally, from specially moulded sections, using Mitre Master's own unique state of the art mitre technology.

This means maintenance is very simple, thoroughly wash down with warm water and detergent, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
