Should your new wooden sash and storm windows be made from Douglas fir or eastern white pine? At Heritage Mill we always offer the choice of lumber to the Heritage Home Owner. We normally suggest Douglas Fir for the storm windows as they take the brunt of the bad weather. The sash windows which are generally protected form the ext ream weather can be made from select eastern white pine. Note that select or prime eastern white pine is a better grade that regular pine.
