Sash windows

[Duke Thrust]

Chaps,

What is more cost efficient, renovating old sash windows or replacing with new units?

To be specific, renovate and fit double glazed glass (is this possible, I've seen very thin panels) or fit new double glazed units (wood in the original style, not modern looking units).

I suppose the other consideration is efficiency, new units would have much better seals? (unless as part of renovating it's possible to fit better seals?)

Thanks, I'll give them a bell - I have, from memory, 30 windows to replace. The bigs ones are about 6 foot high so I'm pretty much going to have to grab my ankles. It's not listed though, good luck with all that business, you're a braver man than I

Would he travel to the Cotswolds? (trying to get a range of quotes)
