uPVC V/s Wooden Windows: Which Are Better?
by Reetu Kumari An writer and BloggerAre you one of those who is seeking an answer to the
important question—uPVC or wooden windows? If yes, you are not alone! These
days, many people want an answer to this question so that they can take the
right decision before they make their purchase. But before we dive straight
into the debate, UPVC v/s Wooden Windows, let’s first understand what
these two types of windows are.
The former is made of uPVC which stands for
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride Polymers. Polyvinyl Chloride is one of the
handiest polymers in the world today. And, uPVC is a rather special blend. The
latter is made of wood, a natural stuff.
Both have their own set of advantages and
disadvantages. Let’s find out these on these important parameters, in detail!
1. Durability & Maintenance
The uPVC windows last longer without too much efforts
and/or need for costly maintenance. These are easy to maintain. You don't need
to treat or repair these windows. Wooden windows, on the other hand, require
expensive maintenance and treatments from time to time.
2. Carbon Footprints
With the uPVC windows, you can cut down on your carbon
foot prints. Wooden windows, on the other hand, are made with wood for which
trees have to be cut.
3. Cost
The uPVC windows may seem a little costlier in the
beginning, but in the long run these often prove cost effective, as unlike
the wooden windows, these hardly require any costly repairs or
maintenance.
4. Noise Insulation
Compared to the wooden windows, the uPVC windows offer
better noise insulation benefits. You get tranquil and quiet atmosphere as a
result.
5. Weather Proof
Unlike the wooden windows, the uPVC windows are also
weather resistant. They don’t rot or fade away easily even when subjected to
harsh weather conditions for extended periods.
