[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the big hate in non wood windows.

It's a mix of snobbery and a lack of understanding that there's a massive difference between a prewar wavy glass window and a modern, overpriced wood window. [/quote]

It’s more about the character of wood versus vinyl, and for some the environment plays in too. A wood window can be repaired while a vinyl window will be chucked. You can also paint wood. And yeah there’s also snobbery. But I think people do understand that there’s a difference between much older wood windows and newer wood windows. On here, people always advocate trying to repair the older windows versus replacing with new wood windows.

We have Anderson 200 wood windows on a few windows and the rest have brand new fiberglass. Personally I prefer the wood and would love to have been able to afford doing the whole house in them. (Couldn’t get the husband on board.) I’ve always just liked wood. We have a wood deck too—even though composite is the thing to do and more expensive and therefore I guess “snobbier.” Although I guess ipe or cedar or redwood would have be the super high end thing to do.
