Morning all,
I know this has been discussed a few times before! But wanted to get some up to date advice given how quickly the powers that be seem to come up with new ways of being awkward. - oops, I mean introduce new regulations to improve the efficiency and performance of building elements
Basically, I have a couple of jobs to do, the first is to make a replacement box sash window for a customer, this is a purely like for like replacement as it is in a very strict conservation area and has to be identical.
The second is to replace the box frames in my house with oak box frames. I may use spiral balances for this, not sure. My house is not listed or in a conservation area.
There seems to be a minefield of regs for windows. Do I need to seek approval before commencing these windows and also what are the current requirements for glass, does it need to be low-e glass. The first will ned to go back in single glazed for the reasons mentioned.
Finally doe anyone know of any sources for box frame construction drawings. Have not made one for at least 15 years!
Thanks
Kev
