Trying to figure out if there are actually decent window frames out there made from recycled materials. My old wooden ones are rotting (classic 1950s house problems) and I’d like to go for something less wasteful this time, but I keep getting mixed info. Some places say vinyl is bad for the environment, others say there’s “eco” vinyl now, or recycled aluminum… I’m honestly lost.
If anyone’s put in recycled frames, how do they hold up? Do they look weird or feel cheap? Budget’s not unlimited, so if they’re way pricier than regular windows, maybe I’ll just fix up what I have. But if they’re solid and actually help the planet a bit, I’m interested. Any brands or types you’d recommend—or ones to avoid?
