Abstract
Wood/aluminium windows of a standard construction with different coating systems were installed in a facade facing south-east on a building in Vienna. Over a period of three years the moisture content of the wooden frames and the climatic conditions under the aluminium layers of the windows were measured. The results showed that humidity stress on the wooden frames of the windows was very low. Condensation of water vapour underneath the aluminium layers occurred very seldom and the reactions in wood moisture content were only small. Highly permeable wood coatings with medium or low dry film layer thickness can provide a sufficient protection of the wooden frames of wood/aluminium windows against weathering impacts to obtain high durability.
