What Are the Benefits of Wood Windows Vs. Vinyl?

One of the biggest challenges of choosing new windows for your building is to evaluate your needs correctly and to choose the best frame material. The range of options available today is very wide, but the two most popular options are still wood and vinyl. Here is what you can expect of either of the two solutions:

-          Pricing – wood frames are currently the most expensive solutions available, while vinyl is one of the cheapest options;

-          Appearance – nothing compares to the unique, natural charm of wood, so the option is clearly the best if you are looking for a classy appearance. However, vinyl frames come in a wider range of colors, therefore they are easier to match to the existing color scheme of your building, what’s more, they are also available in variants that imitate natural wood grain What you should also know is that you can stain or paint your wood frames to change its color, but vinyl cannot be repainted;

-          Maintenance needs – wood being a natural material, it needs to be treated with sealants and other types of protective coatings every 3-5 years to ensure its durability. Vinyl, on the other hand, needs hardly any maintenance, all you will have to take care of being regular cleaning.
