Apologies if this subject has been discussed previously - I did a search but could not find anything.
What is the difference between softwood Scandanavian Pine windows and hardwood Sapele windows in terms of longevity, maintenance, apinting, waterlightness, warping, etc. etc.
I am down to two companies for my new build - both similar on u-values, aesthetics, price, reputation, etc. One swears by its Scandanavian Pine, the other by its hardwood Sapele.
Advice would be appreciated.
