Reclaimed Borneo Ironwood window - Hardwood from North Indonesia

Borneo ironwood, locally known as Ulin, stands out as an exceptional wood. With an astonishingly slow growth rate of less than 0.5mm per year, it possesses extraordinary density, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Ulin heartwood boasts a Class 1 natural durability rating both above and in the ground, showcasing its remarkable resistance to rot, decay, wood-boring insects, and the elements.

Historically cherished by the Kalimantan Dayak communities for traditional dwellings, bridges, and thoroughfares, Ulin's presence remains concentrated in a select few Southeast Asian locales, predominantly on Borneo Island. These long-lived Ulin trees can surpass 1,000 years in age.

At NaturanexA, we take pride in utilizing 100% recycled Ulin ironwood sourced from disused structures in Kalimantan, including homes, warehouses, bridges, roads, docks, and other edifices. This exceptional material serves as the foundation for crafting exceptional and enduring windows.

Questions & Answers

What is a window?

• At NaturanexA, a leading manufacturer of sustainable wood products, we define a window as an opening in a wall or roof that allows light and air to enter a building. Windows are typically made of glass, but can also be made of other materials such as plastic or acrylic. They are used to provide natural light and ventilation, and can also improve the appearance of a building.

  Windows come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials, so you can choose the perfect window for your home or office. Consider the following factors when choosing a window:

  • Size: Make sure to measure the window opening carefully before purchasing a window. Windows are typically sold in standard sizes, but you can also have a custom window made.

  • Style: Windows come in a variety of styles, from traditional to modern. Choose a style that complements the décor of your home or office.

  • Material: Windows can be made of a variety of materials, including glass, plastic, and acrylic. Choose a material that is durable and easy to maintain.

    Purpose: Consider the purpose of the window when choosing a style and material. For example, a window in a bedroom should provide privacy and blackout options, while a window in a living room should let in as much light as possible.

    
    Types of windows:

  There are many different types of windows available, including:

  • Casement windows: Casement windows open outward on hinges. They are a popular choice for homes and offices, as they let in a lot of light and air.

  • Awning windows: Awning windows open outward and upward on hinges. They are a good option for areas that are prone to rain, as they can be opened slightly to let in air without letting in rain.

  • Double-hung windows: Double-hung windows have two sashes that slide up and down. They are a popular choice for homes and offices, as they are easy to operate and provide good ventilation.

  • Slider windows: Slider windows have two sashes that slide horizontally. They are a good option for small spaces, as they do not require as much swing space as traditional windows.

  • Bay windows: Bay windows project outward from the wall of a building. They are a popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms, as they provide a lot of light and a view of the outdoors.

  Benefits of using windows:

  Windows offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Natural light: Windows provide natural light, which is beneficial for health and well-being.

  • Ventilation: Windows allow fresh air to circulate inside a building, which can improve indoor air quality.
