Mixing Timber and Aluminium Windows

We are renovating a large 2 story weather board house. It is right on the coast (architect image of final is attached). The house is located 50 metres from the coast and gets a lot of harsh weather.


We are ordering timber double hung windows for all the front and rear window (and timber doors).


I'm having second thoughts on whether to go timber or aluminum on the upper level side windows....

PRO for Aluminium

  • They will all be covered by Shutters so barely noticeable from the inside.
  • Much longer wearing.
  • Can go sliders so can be open/closed without having to pull shutter right open
  • Only limited visiblity from outside of house

CON

  • is this a design CRIME?????


Would appreciate any advice/guidance.....
