double glazing
 

theres condensation inbetween the glazing on 2 of my bedroom windows, and the seals on the top openening bit dont seem too good, as i live on a main road, and can hear all the traffic, and people talking outside at night.
the frames are both 42 inch X 68 inch in total size, and about 10 -12 years old and made of wood,
any ideas on how much it would cost to replace them?

did u just want to put in new sealed units ,or complete new frames.
Wait till its a bit warmer(dont want your widows out in this weather) and I'll come over and give you a hand

Re: double glazing
 

I think you should get new frames (PVC); the wood might be rotten?

Keep the house warmer too :cheers:

Re: double glazing
 

i was thinking of replacing the 2 in my room with pvc,

although thinking about it, it might be worth doing the whole house?

Depending on the condition of the wooden windows you could just have the units replaced. I wouldn't personally go for this option because wooden windows are the child of Satan. U-PVC is the way forward as long as a decent company fits them. They save money on heating, shields allot of the outside noise, pretty much maintenance free and they are so easy to clean. :)

If your wooden windows are brown and you are going to replace them with white U-PVC then it might be worth doing the whole house. But if your not too bothered about a bit of mismatching then just do the ones you need to do for now.

Can you tell I fit U-PVC windows for a living. ;)

Re: double glazing
 

i dont like the white ones,

so i would be going for brown pvc


how much do u charge :kiss:

Re: double glazing
 

In that case then you can do a window here and there without it looking too bad. The only down side to any coloured U-PVC is the price increase. But on the positive side any colour other then white does look dam nice. :)

Until the colour fades and you can't paint them.
