In the northern part of the US, there's no good alternative for protecting buildings from the elements. You have brick, glass, wood, and vinyl...which is the nice one. It has to be plastic (for windows) to expand and contract, but be easy to replace. It has to be moisture/ice proof. It has to be durable to impact (due to wind and storm). Brick is fine, until it breaks down and is very poor for temperature control.

No issues with temp control, and essentially never rots besides needing a repaint every …. 10-15 years maybe. Also, I thought fiberglass windows are a reasonable alternative to vinyl windows?
