I've realised a couple of my windows are a bit rotten
We put them in, the best part of 20 years ago, softwood, and it's the few that face the prevailing weather.. we get a lot of weather here,..
So, what is considered the best choice environmentally, these days? My neighbour just had aluminium put in and they look good... I don't like upvc.
Thoughts?
Aluminium should last well, but they need to have a good thermal barrier in them. I expect they do these days. We had aluminium double glazed windows put in over 50 years ago, and there were no thermal barriers, so the frames got cold and therefore wet inside, but the windows were excellent.
