Double Glazing
I’m having new UPVC windows installed. As I still have part of the old sash window frame in (left from previous owner) I want this taken out. I’ve had a quote for a double glazing firm – who said that’s not a problem as they should have been taken out in the first place. Basically said that they would take out all the wooden frame and replace that with timber and then the unit would be put in. Basically the woodframe is what’s in the wall – is this what usually happens. As I understand it if they put wood in the frame and then put the unit in I could possibly get the wood part plastered over which isn’t a problem as I’m getting the rooms all replastered/skimmed. Hopefully you can understand my explanation. I hope someone can explain if this what usually happens. They are a reputable firm and he also showed me a photo of how the window with the timber would look.
