We looked at double glazed units but the biggest issue was weight. My concern was the boxes would struggle with the pulley size and also with the draft seals etc, the house is generally warm. We opted for the safety toughened glass because it gives a ripple effect, a bit like the original glass...
We have replaced weights (addons) to handle new sashes. 2lb under and over for top and bottom.
They come out at about £775 a pair, primed but not painted.
Glazing is toughened glass (4mm I think) but could be 6. We can't get double glazing in the sashes.
How's best way to remove that glue...
I think the painting looks worse on the closeups than it does in real life.
Painter openly admits the glue needed to be removed but was unable to get it off with a sander and didn't not want to damage the glass.
They were primed when we got them so the glue wasn't so obvious until the gloss...
Hello
Someone has recently made me same replacement sash windows and i am a little concerned with the finish on them.
Is it normal to see gaps either side of the vertical window bars?
He did say they needed some finishing before paint which we did, but after the painter give me them back...
