I dislike UVPC windows, they are far too thick in width restricting light, stain and discolour far too easily, and structurally weak. Show me a UVPC door, and if it hasnt dropped, its going to.
I am slowly replacing UVPC with powder coated steel or aluminium.
As far as the original post goes, at the end of the day, nothing replaces the look of timber in its original setting. As far as a 1610 house goes, you may be living there, but you are merely a custodian of history. I wouldnt be happy with anything other than trying to be original as possible.
