Are uPVC woodgrain effect windows reliable? ?

Full woodgrain windows look great, but they scratch easy, if you have a conservatory which is south facing, forget it, woodgrain plastic expands badly, but that all depends on what profile is used! I would however recomend golden oak windows with gold furniture! they are not cheap tho! sorry, thats just in my opinion

We had this type fitted with white interior 4 years ago by Anglian as we wanted something that looked good and that didn't need painting - a bit of cream cleaner on the inside and hot soapy water on the outside they still look as good as they day they were fitted. From a distance they look like stained timber, would not hesitate to have them again.

He does not think much of double glazing - and even less about the sales techniques and half truths...
