What is better - PVC or wood?

Over time, PVC Windows occupy only the first positions in the window market, winning the hearts of their new customers. Every day on the houses you can see more and more PVC Windows. They have been recognized by the population and scientists, and the proof of this is that they write only positive reviews. All these facts about the popularity of PVC Windows don't surprise anymore because they have such properties that can not be found in other Windows. Despite this, some people choosing their home new Windows doubt and do not want to risk installing a new product. Today we will know exactly which Windows are better - wooden or PVC. To do this, we analyze all the parameters in detail.
1. Ecological compatibility. If we say that the wooden Windows are not eco-friendly, it would be absurd. However, if you look at it from the other side, for the manufacture of one wooden window you need to cut down the whole tree. And naturally, PVC Windows are more eco-friendly due to the fact that they do not require the destruction of forests and help to save them as much as possible. After all, if you imagine that all the Windows in the world will be exclusively plastic, how many forests can be saved.
2. Life. The durability of these Windows is significantly different. PVC Windows with proper operation is 50 years old and this is not the limit.
3. soundproofing. PVC Windows have improved double-glazed Windows and profile, due to which they perfectly keep peace and quiet in the house. And the Windows of wood, unfortunately, not so well prevent street noise to get into your house.
4. Window care. All owners of wooden Windows know that at least once a year or six months you need to paint the Windows because of peeling paint. PVC Windows do not require special care, sometimes enough to wipe them with a damp cloth or sponge.
5. Aesthetic qualities. Tastes of all people are different, someone more like the traditional version of wooden Windows, and someone white plastic Windows. But it is possible to combine both. Today also let out the laminated Windows and imitation under a tree.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that the wooden Windows are inferior to PVC in almost all respects.
