Windows made of Arisa

[doris]

Hallo, all. Haven't posted for a while, but we do log-on and see what is going on on the board sometimes.

Hope you don't mind if I ask a question?

We are being quoted for some new windows in our house and have been told they are made of Arisa from Russia. I can't find a translation anywhere. Does anyone know what Arisa is, please?

Thanks.

Doris

I would guess that you are being quoted for Ariš wood which is larch wood. It is commonly used for handmade wooden windows in Croatia.

Siberian Aris most likely. It's quite a weather resistant wood commonly used in wooden house construction.
Apparently it's called Larch wood as Cropal mentioned, although i alway just think of it as another kind of pine.
Perfectly normal good wood to use for windows, but not as good as Birch/Bukva, or Hrast/oak.

Hiya Doris, long time no see.

As usual gmh and crojoe are right, pefectly good material as long as you keep it laquered etc every few years, or even better if they are protected behind shutters.

Say Hi to Mr Doris from us.

Thank you very much everyone for the translation and info. Now we know it's 'the larch'. Reminds me of Monty Python ...

Thanks for your message MG. Maybe we can meet up again sometime. Love to Mrs MG. Pleased to read your much-deserved plaudit, by the way.
