Posted By: Mike George...in the real world people...aren't really interested in the arguments you put forward.That's why I make the case on the Green Building Forum, rather than diy.com. We need to get real world people interested in such arguements.
Posted By: Mark SiddallExtruded glass fibre frames are "more" environmentally sound than UPVCMaybe but they still look rubbish :)

Why are even PCV windows discussed here?? Nobody can ever argue they are 'green'...
Posted By: Mike George
Reality in my street is that 90% of the houses have upvc windows. It is greener to keep them maintained with replacement glass and seals than to rip them out and take them to landfil. Why can't upvc last a 100 years?
Oh and by the way, isn't there a shortage of timber? prices are only going one way, as is the associated embodied energy of transportation etc.
Last question, How many advocates of timber windows here have something to do with selling them?
