another thread from me - sorry!
we need to replace some (well all, but will be done a couple at a time) windows.
house currently has old wood framed single glazed windows. the windows are big - each pane is over 1m in height, and about 50cm wide. each window has 3 or 4 panes.
apparently the wood frames (the bits round the edge, rather than the bits right by the iwndows) are ok and sound, but are in some disrepair (no maitenance done on this house for at least 20 years) and so reparations (stripping down, some filling in and then wetherproofing/painting would be required)
so, is it better to go for glazing units, and have them fitted in original frames, plus work doen on rames, or to get entirely new glazing and frames?
we have 3 windows that really need doing right now, and are hoping to be able to do another couple too, which would mean the whole front of the house done (looks forward to massive reduction in heating bills...), but trying to weigh up the stripping down/repair/re-painting faff vs take the whole lot out and replace with new. obviously cost has a bearing too.
wwyd?
