For years, the exclusive use of coastal Douglas Fir has been a
hallmark of the Loewen brand. Now,
Loewen is proud to offer our complete line of windows and doors in
Mahogany, giving discerning
consumers a choice of wood species to further customize their
residential or light commercial projects.
Like fir, Mahogany is known for its natural strength, superior
fastener holding power and resistance to
decay. Carefully gathered from recognized controlled sources, the rich,
fine-grained beauty of Mahogany
fits perfectly with the quality and refinement that homeowners, custom
builders, architects and designers
have come to expect from Loewen.
From fine furniture to custom cabinetry, the natural beauty
and strength of Mahogany has
made this wood a popular choice for centuries. This
hardwood’s unique appearance and natural
durability ensure that your windows and doors will stand the test of
time, nature and fashion.
DISTINCTIVELY MAHOGANY
- Grain: Traditionally rich,
with a short, light swirled pattern.
- Color: Distinct colors ranging
from pink-red to
brown when first cut. As the wood ages, it turns to its distinctive
reddish-brown color.
- Resilience: Exceptional
natural resistance to decay and insect
infestation.
DISTINCTIVELY LOEWEN
- Finish: Natural, clear
Mahogany with no visible finger joints. Ideal for clear staining.
- Construction: Mortise and
tenon sash joinery gives
added strength and structural integrity, keeping fabrication square and
true. Sash, frame and glazing fabrication is identical to Loewen fir
products.
- Strength: Laminated cores
dramatically increase strength and stability while reducing waste.
- Versatility: Loewen offers
literally trillions of
possible product combinations and almost limitless custom capabilities.

metal clad color options and a wide array of hardware and finishes.

Mahogany
is short grained relative to fir. Like fir, it patinas to a deeper red
tone
over time. Mahogany may be polished to a high luster, if desired. |
Mahogany
is a dense hardwood with a hardness measure
comparable to fir (Douglas Fir 710 lbs, Genuine Mahogany
800 lbs**). Dent resistance with furniture-grade finish
properties. Tightly interwoven grain resists splintering,
accepts detailed profiling and holds fasteners solidly. Like
Douglas Fir, Mahogany is dimensionally stable. |
