Thanks for the link Freddy, rather lengthy to say the least but many good points raised. Like printers, they have obviously been designed [I suspect] with obsolescence built in but for the deep thinker there could well be ways to avoid the expense of replacing sealed units. The one point that...

..........hi.........doesn't say that because I was involved with assembling and installing D.G at different times that I know all there is to know about things like sealed unit & their durability. I was really was not involved in both activities very long, just long enough to pick up a few tips...

Having decided to build myself a greenhouse I visited a double glazing company [the owners of which I worked with many years ago when they were working for another company but have since set up their own business] with a view to getting some free second hand glass. However, I came away having...

Many moons ago I both manufactured and fitted double glazed windows; when the norm was outside glazing, i.e. the glass was installed from the outside, then the beading was clipped into place and finally a rubber piping gasket was pressed between the glass & plastic frame on the inside. Once this...

By what you say it sounds just like R.O.B. [which stands for Rip Off Britain] from my experience it seems the old fashioned secondary glazing was just as effective and longer lasting. I have heard that the latest idea [which is said to be more efficient] is to fill the cavity between the panes...

Freddy.........please be a bit more specific about how to add pics. [step by step please] I hit the "Upload new images" tab but all that happened was it defaulted to the first photo I downloaded. Being a very old silver surfer I need precise a,b,c, steps to achieve success. Patience is a virtue...

Double glazing in my kitchen are showing signs of condensation between the panes after about ten years which I understand is the duration of the guarantee. Has anyone else encountered this costly anomaly? If sealed units fail at about this length of time from purchase, seems to me the glazing...

Maybe I'm dull but why - when one adds a photo to a post- does it not appear in the said post as is the case on another forum I frequent? (see below link for an example of what I mean * ) I just sent a post about a specific drill actually falling apart the first time I used it (with a photo to...

I recently purchased an 18V cordless drill made by "Marskman" and -to my disdain- discovered it fell apart when I was testing it to see how many holes it would drill before the battery went dead. Upon looking at the three components I could not figure out how the chuck or torque ring were...

HI......have a Hotpoint washer which -of late- the door refuses to open after a cycle has finished. Strangely enough, this only seems to happen when a specific program is selected. Why should this happen & what would one expect to pay to have this fault repaired? Thanks MAT G
