English translation:laminated window stock
Explanation:
Fensterkantel are square pieces of lumber/timber.

Old-growth Douglas-fir is the species preferred by many window manufacturers in Italy. However, there is an increased interest in alternative species since the wood quality of Douglas-fir has declined and the price has increased in recent years. Two alternative species of interest are hemlock and red cedar. There is also an increased market for three-layer laminated window stock made from second-generation Douglas Fir and southern yellow pine.

Manufacturers of all-wood windows are facing increased competition from alternative materials and from the use of laminated window stock. The competition from laminated window stock is probably more threatening than that of alternative materials. In fact this component, which has two clear faces, has advantages over aluminum window stock plus all of wood's benefits.
