Do Wooden Sash Windows Or Plastic Windows Work Best?

In the debate over wooden sash windows or plastic windows which option gives a better

impression in an office environment, the argument for wood has the weight of tradition on its side, as well as the opinion of the marketplace. Wooden windows are preferred.

Wood has been used to make windows for as long as there have been windows. Holes in stone walls do not qualify; they are mere slits or spy holes. Windows have transparency, and transparency needs a frame, and frames were made of wood. Period.

Starting with answer number three, is it true that no one will notice? When you walk into a law office, do you find a barren waiting room with a Formica table and pressed polyurethane chairs in primary colors? Does the receptionist greet you from behind a plastic window where she sits in a cubicle filled with metal filing cabinets?

Wood is politically correct. Your windows can be made of yellow pine dredged off the bottom of a river - what could be more thrifty? Walnut trees can be grown as a resource, and if you buy windows made out of them, the tree farmer can send his kids to college. If, heaven forbid, your wooden windows end up in the landfill, they will biodegrade.

Imagine a law office, or the office of a stockbroker. The image that comes to mind is of thick red carpets, shelves of handsomely bound books, a big desk, and comfortable armchairs for consultations or a highly polished conference table with company letterhead paper ready to hand. There is no plastic anywhere to be seen, not even in the ballpoint pens. So why should the window sills be any different?

Think of the door to the office. There are plastic doors, but no one wants a lightweight, hollow sounding portal when it is opened to welcome a client. The client will admittedly not be opening the windows, but the wooden frames and sills will be just as much part of the picture as the drapes that will undoubtedly frame them.

Wooden sash windows or plastic windows which option gives a better impression in an office environment? It is really hard to make a winning argument for plastic.
