Composite frames claim to offer the best qualities of both vinyl and wood. If the window frames are anything like their decking and lumber composite counterparts, it should hold true that they offer the strengths of both wood and plastic.
Aesthetic concerns are often the most important issue when looking for windows. Composite windows may be suitable if maintaining the look of wood is desired. In modern dwellings the look of the composite offers a good alternative for the more particular consumer. Composite frames are ahead of the pack when it comes to contemporary popularity. Be sure you check out key components before making a final selection. If composite frame windows are the choice, make sure that the wood or vinyl being used to make the frames is recycled.
If you are the manufacturer of a product and are interested in having that product listed for free on Greenerbuilding.org or know of a green building program or information source we should know about, or simply want to talk about green building, contact us.
