Wood types
Why choose wood?
Wood windows and doors have been around for centuries. Not only do they offer more flexibility, they have an unparalleled charm and character that vinyl and fiberglass windows just can't match. At Lepage, our uniqueness resides in our ability to match your ideas with authentic products, made-to-order, without compromise.
Standard types of wood offered by Lepage
White pine
White pine has been the choice of craftsmen in Northern Canada since the 18th century. Soft, easy to work and dimensionally stable, this wood type blends perfectly with traditional and contemporary styles. Its pale yellow appearance and uniform grain look perfect when stained and impeccable when painted.
Eucalyptus Grandis
Eucalyptus Grandis is a plantation-grown hardwood from Uruguay, South America. It is relatively uniform in colour with slight variations from pale to medium pink. The attractive, moderately coarse grain pattern is predominantly straight. Budget-wise, it represents an excellent choice for customers looking for wood exterior products, with a similar hardness, density and grain texture to mahogany and cherry.
Mahogany
Mahogany is an African hardwood with a reddish-brown, straight grain that has the best density among our standard wood types. It has an excellent workability and is very durable. Mahogany is recommended for exterior use when painted and has an enhanced durability against wood rot, while its smooth finish is also excellent for staining.
Note: The wood colour may vary depending on the type of wood, its grain and texture. The pictures above are for reference only.
Types of wood split
At Lepage, you can order two different types of wood on a single product. If you'd like to have a perfect pale look on the inside and a highly durable wood on the outside, we can meet your needs.
