Does this mean the vinyl or aluminum is laminated over the wood? I do not know of the aluminum over owod. Aluminum transfers heat and cold very well, so vinyl is much better. Vinyl does not oxidize and is a standard on windows today. There are viyl clad wood windows, for people who like real wood inside, but none of the maintenance headaces of real wood outside.
This is not a question?????? wood and aluminum are two different thing. FYI
Wooden windows provide insulation, Aluminium windows failed the EU standards for insulation.
I would choose vinyl over aluminum, aluminum windows sweat in temp changes. We have installed vinyl windows in two different homes that we have lived in.
Vinyl looks MODERN and are in all the track homes. If you want you home to look cookie cutter choose the vinyl. If you have a nice home in an upscale neighborhood choose wood and any other other combo of wood and ?. If you are like the rest of us average shmos get the white vinyl
