How is he going to keep the wood from drying out and shrinking and warping to b*****y after the windows are made/installed?

It HAS to be dry (or permanently immersed in water) to be durable .]]> green western red cedar windows https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9492#Comment_9492 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9492#Comment_9492 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:24:08 +0000 biffvernon green western red cedar windows https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9519#Comment_9519 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9519#Comment_9519 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:06:06 +0000 Terry The movement issue rang a few loud alarms in my mind, but just wondering how stable WR cedar is in relation to other timbers, particularly in typical window frame section dimensions.

On a more general note, do window fixings into the building structure limit timber movement appreciably in any way? Also does the window frame structure itself limit movement? Would have thought the two factors combined would help to some degree?]]> green western red cedar windows https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9520#Comment_9520 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=875&Focus=9520#Comment_9520 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:12:03 +0000 tony
