I agree with : Execution is more important than the material.
I do see it that way too, but when did I say that here?I agree with @11ant: Execution is more important than the material.
not explicitly, but I implicitly inferred that from several of your statements here in the thread:I do agree with that, but when did I say that here?
Unfortunately, you are also offered wood-aluminum windows that without the aluminum cladding would have weather resistance that is beyond good and evil (but then they are priced at PVC level or close above – so cheaper than pure aluminum).
and wood-aluminum is also available cheaper (about 105) – but unfortunately not thanks to volume discounts, rather due to inferior quality. That means with wood-aluminum – where it is offered to you only moderately above PVC (list) – you are not doing yourself a favor.
Wood is actually a good window material, but: only in hard qualities. These wear down the tools faster, so they unfortunately have to be more expensive;
I hope I have not read too much between the lines...two kinds of suppliers: those who try to benefit from the good image of the material and at the same time catch the customers who feel that quality prices are rip-offs. They then look for ways to conjure up attractive prices – unfortunately at the expense of quality (but as invisibly as possible). And those who uncompromisingly produce quality.
Yes, certainly several times already.not explicitly, but I inferred that implicitly from several of your statements
No, not here right now. This is currently about the material. It says: 1. with cheap wood-aluminum, the wood is one that would be quite prone to rot without the cladding; 2. when wood-aluminum is "affordable," it is usually and predominantly this wood quality behind it, unlike market mechanisms with PVC; 3. milling tools achieve higher quantities when the wood is softer, which is also a reason for cheaper wood qualities (equally applicable to wood-aluminum and pure wood).here in the thread:
From my point of view here, actually quite the opposite of what is stated in the lines.I hope I didn’t read too much between the lines...
As long as the cladding is considered a protective coating, one can probably see it that way. However, I also find it dishonest to combine two materials with a good reputation = value image and to do so at prices that appear exorbitant for decent quality, whereas in reality one can offer it "cheaper" through cheating (saving on purchasing costs behind the surface appearance). High-quality wood/aluminum would not cost less, but more than pure aluminum. But (l)egalEven with softer types of wood, the occurrence of wood rot shouldn't really be such a problem, right?
