Hi,
I have some quotations for front windows and composit door.
uPVC windows. - one company does uPVC with a steel in it. Another company has no steel in it. When questioned they said its a EU requirements and its better for the house becuse steel will remoan cold and winter. They said the uPVC will be as hard as metal.
I am not sure. Which one are best to put?
Thanks

And I wouldn't chose any wood because they need much more maintenance (outside). I value my time and my money more than some 'appearance ', but regardless I prefer white to natural wood, at least inside.

We have oak windows in our holiday cottages. I am replacing them slowly, not with plastic but that's an aside. I would never buy a property with timber windows again.Mickey666 said:I have some bare oak windows that are well over 100 years old, probably nearer 200 hundred years. No maintenance needed in all that time, maybe a bit of linseed oil. Likewise, the oak timbers from which my house is built are over 400 years old - they are hard as rock! Modern construction methods and materials have a lot to answer for.
BTW I would never put linseed on external oak.
To the OP, sadly I can't help. MSE is a funny place, you've had 4 replies and none relate to you.
