The question – Wooden sash windows or plastic windows which option gives a better impression in an office environment – can have at least three answers. That wood is better, being more traditional and high end. That plastic is better, being less apt to rot and cheaper to install. That it makes no difference; no one will notice anyway.

As for tradition, wood was a part of the first window and will probably be a part of the last. After all, plastics are relatively modern, whereas even fossils can be of wood. And wood is renewable, and we all know that fossil fuels will one day run out, if the world lasts so long.

Wood is a great insulator, lasts well when exposed to weather and even longer when protected by paint or finish, and is easy to carve for elegance of design. Moreover, it is plentiful, renewable, and beautiful in its own right, both when new and smooth and when old and weathered. Andrew Wyeth did not paint pictures of plastic windows.

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.

Wood is beautiful. Wood has class. Wood shows that you can afford to install it and maintain it, and have enough taste to want it. Wood is historically important, and is found in all the best families. Wood is in. So if your office is made of wood, it is by association worth spending money on and is inhabited by people who intend to stay around for a long time, who care about the environment, and who have a sense of style. Wooden windows will go along with the wooden desks, the heavy wooden doors, the wooden bookshelves, and the wooden furniture. All the metal and plastic components are in the filing room and the copy center.

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.

If wood works so well for office furniture and floors, why would any other material be suitable for the windows of your office? Wooden sash windows or plastic windows which option gives a better impression in an office environment? No contest.
