Hello, I am currently looking into the topic of windows.

I originally wanted to have wood-aluminum windows and had already factored in the additional costs. However, I was told that wood-aluminum is slowly disappearing from the market because the wood underneath the aluminum tends to rot over time. Has anyone here had longer experience with this?

Pure aluminum windows are also rarely in demand for single-family houses.

Thanks for your information.

2018 was already several years ago... Does anyone have experience with plastic windows that have been tinted or covered with protective film?

I am still at the beginning of my research.
I was told to expect 30-40% higher costs compared to plastic windows.

I expect the detailed offer as an alternative to my current offer (plastic only) soon.

In our case, the wooden windows from the local window manufacturer were only slightly more expensive than the plastic windows I had configured online beforehand.
