ᐅ Wooden Windows vs. Wood-Aluminum Composite Windows

Hello everyone,

Our architect pointed out that there could be a considerable cost-saving potential if we choose wooden windows instead of the originally planned wood-aluminum windows. Of course, this also depends on the number and size of the windows. It’s obviously a luxury problem. The clear advantage of wood-aluminum windows is the weather protection on the outside.

However, we could also be very comfortable with full wooden windows, but somehow there are still concerns about what might happen without the external weather protection. On the other hand, my parents have had wooden windows for more than 30 years that haven’t even been treated and have been working perfectly without any issues.

Who has experience in this area?

My wife and I used sliding windows from KWK Fensterhandel. Everything was perfectly measured and fitted. I believe that wooden windows provide very good insulation and retain heat. On the other hand, wood-plastic composite windows are very expensive and not much better than simple wooden windows.

Wood-plastic composite windows??? – I've never heard of those and can't really imagine what they are.

I apologize for my mistake; I meant wooden windows with aluminum, of course not with plastic.

Wood-aluminum windows are actually either more expensive or of lower quality than both pure wood and pure aluminum windows.
