Plastic vs. Wood: Which Windows Are Better to Install in an Apartment
In Russia, the most popular windows are plastic and wooden.
Both types of products have their advantages and disadvantages.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI on issues of interior design and interior design, will tell you which ones are preferable for an apartment.
What is better: wood or plastic
Let's start with aesthetics. White plastic windows, although they look presentable, are most often associated with office premises.
Therefore, if you want to add coziness to the interior, it is better to choose wood.
As for sound insulation, wooden windows are also considered more advantageous in this regard. They can hold back both low and high sound frequencies, which cannot be said about plastic: it can only hold back high ones.
If we consider eco-friendliness, then here too wood is head and shoulders above plastic. Wooden windows do not emit any harmful substances into the atmosphere, and wood is also completely hypoallergenic.
In addition, modern wooden windows are treated with compounds that make them fireproof, and they can last longer than plastic ones, especially when it comes to oak and other hard wood species.
