Rough Costs For Double Glazing ?

[838HNK]

Had a brilliant Christmas in France … good news is it was mild so the house was nice and warm …. if it had been a cold one I think we could have struggled to heat all of the house. With plans to move out full time in a couple of years I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get double glazing.

Sad but true it will probably be the dreaded plastic rather than wood but open minded.

Our windows are the standard issue inward hinged pairs of windows with outside externally hinged shutters. Each window has eight small panes of glass.

The outer frames are ok so I could just replace window for window with double glazed wood or I could do complete replacements.

Anyone got any hints and tips before I go ask the locals, they rub their hands with glee and come up with some silly numbers as usual ??!!

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Paul - thanks for this - curiously our bathroom windows have metal bars to stop Bill the Burglar and no shutters and given the uPVC pricing will have those taken out and two sealed windows and one opening with roller shutters put in pretty quickly … oh and the tiny but draughty loo window done as well …. will print out the relevant Brico Depot pages to focus the local man a bit !! … Cheers Chris
