Position the wooden window in their right place in the Spanish market of the enclosure

The National Association of manufacturers of wooden Windows and joint Madera-Aluminio (looming) was born with the vocation and the illusion of positioning this product in its right place in the Spanish market of the enclosure.

The demands of energy efficiency in the building which marks the technical building code give the wooden window the opportunity to demonstrate the wonderful benefits of this material and the technology that currently is builds the industrialized woodwork.

The main Spanish manufacturers in the sector have detected together this great occasion, perhaps final, to recover market share in favourable circumstances, that the regulatory framework will give the reason to products with lower economic and environmental cost-generating greater energy efficiency.

But this heading must play it well, seamlessly and without haste. Why an Association of manufacturers that will have an own Manager and will be administered by the Federation Spanish industries of timber (Feim), has been formed with idea of using infinite synergies with other subsectors of the wood in the construction such as the pavementthe doors, structures and roofs, Board and even wooden houses.

Looks has many things to do: join the sector, train and inform, test, mark correctly, promote, disseminate, asesorar… and the outcome will be reset to the wooden window as a leader in the sector, without any need to exaggerate or misrepresent, because a good wooden window, by itself alone, is an exceptional closure in all respects, without limitations, fringes or weak points. The Association breaks with a vocation for collaboration with the associations of manufacturers of Windows and doors of alternative to wood materials, in the common goal of inform, disseminate and educate consumers, installers and other related professionals.

The enclosure is between 25 and 45% of the energy losses of housing. It is demonstrated and proven that a wooden window, a priori, guarantees greater thermal protection that another of PVC or aluminium with identical dimensions, profiles and opening/closing and glazing systems section, and is also cheaper and beneficial environmentally speaking (wood stands as a great Fixer of CO₂ face to the future).

Due to the new normative framework mapped out by the CTE, the architect has been design aesthetic to the design for efficiency, both thermal and acoustic. The Renove plans that slowly emerge by autonomous communities and now are backed by a national policy of assistance to the rehabilitation and pursuit of energy efficiency, make it very clear that the wooden window is a system of enclosure with a huge growth ahead.

And all this converges with a huge development in the treatment of the wood, the use of laminated wood and finishes to the water, more and more durable, effective and easy to implement.

In a scenario as well Spanish manufacturers have understood that it was important to draw in common an orderly and correct strategy to promote your product on the market. And they did not want to close the door to their suppliers of technology, raw materials, chemical products and hardware store. Thus, under the consideration of "webbed members", looks wants to walk hand in hand with wood wholesalers and manufacturers of profiles, fittings, varnish, tool, equipment, software, glass and, ultimately, all professionals committed to this activity, including technological centres, specialist pressUniversity and industry associations.

Spain manufactures superb Windows wood and mixed (madera-aluminio). Medium-sized and large enterprises are not many; rather abound the small carpentry specialized in the enclosure of wood. For this reason, the marketing has been forever the unfinished business of a sector that is now before the opportunity to demonstrate that they can meet the requirements better than anyone else and with difference that the poses for the building of the future with the existing rules. Looks will achieve little by little, with steady and serious work, this colossal.
