Your sealed units are blown so you will need to replace them all. At anything up to £300 each its going to cost you more than replacing the whole windows. You will be able to get cheaper sealed units but unless they are guaranteed by a GGF (Glass & Glazing Federation) member they are likely to...

Thanks Ronnie OK So I'm learning some stuff here The rebates should have been, what, painted before the glass was put in? With the sealant, well there isn't any! But then I noticed - my front door, which is a 'composite' type. The trim/beading seems to be actually bedded in sealant (pic...

weather letting me down at the mo but got a little more done. Flower beds finished another few days to dry and just a lick of paint and clean the limestone toppers. Pondering on gas or charcoal for BBQ. Pizza oven just needs a suitable chimney. Looking at some black stove pipes at the mo...

Hi I currently have double glazed wooden frame windows some quite large and the section which opens is single glazed. All bathrooms still has single glazed windows. I have found that the condensation is really bad in the bedroom windows and I am thinking that the previous owners have just...

There are plenty of M&T on t'internet, but none in the style I'm looking for. The style I'm looking for all seem to be dowel and veneer, which sound like they're not really going to be up to the job of a front door exposed to the elements. If I could get a M&T in the style of the attachment in...

I know a building with a solid oak door more than 100 years old. It is not oiled or painted. Make sure yours is solid, not veneered over scraps of waste timber glued together (AKA "Engineered") IMO wooden doors are best protected by at least an open porch or canopy. In my district there is...

Thanks for the reply. I've telephoned few joinery businesses and none are interested. They only want to create a whole frame. The term for cutting out and replacing the bottom leg of a frame is called 'splicing', so I'm told. That means a day of installation and a whole lot of painting to get...

Thanks Andy. I'm obliged for your answer and YES, I contacted ICI's so-called Customer Care Dept making a "technical issue" out of this via an email (apart from my previous 'phone call) but again, all I had in reply was a flat "No". No reason was given to explain their negataive answer but I...

Just put him on your ignore list the same as a lot of members have done. Stop feeding the trolls. :lol:

suitable level of moisture vapour permeability Isnt that microporous then?? But heres some more oil based micro porous oil based ones anyway.. Linseed or soya oil-based undercoat Soya oil-based paints are quick drying while linseed oil paints tend to be slower drying. Both are...

Ok, I assumed that it was uPVC because exterior gloss seldom yellows. It is a lack of ultraviolet light that causes paints to yellow. Not normally an issue outdoors. At the risk of offending your powers of deduction (which is honestly not my intention), have you tried to sand a small section of...

This is something being done to "restore" plastic products, essentially it is bleach which does indeed manage to lighten the browning plastic but it does nothing to repair the breaking down of the material. The final result depends on the composition of the "plastic", as an example I saw it done...

Hi I'm working on a coffee table for my daughter. It had some kind of ugly composite middle which I've managed to cut out and as you can see from the attached pic I'm left with a hollow frame. My plan is to fix some kind of wooden backing to the underside of the table, build it up a little then...

We have a 1930s detached property which retains its original Georgian pane single glazed windows. They are in reasonably good condition. 22 Windows in total, about 40m2. One bay window. We live close to the coast and keeping any kind of paint finish on them is very difficult. We are in a...

My Dad's replacing his old rotted wooden decking with composite. The photos show where he's removed the old decking and the old gravel that he's going to build on. He's currently got it bagged up and he's going to rinse it off before reusing it. I haven't got a photo yet, but apparently it's...

I would be amazed if any decorators out there have put on cover stain and waited a week for it to completely harden off Overnight at most I would imagine is what the majority would wait It also says it can be recoated after 3 hours ? So isn't that in itself going to go against the 7 days...

I was wondering what people might suggest would be the best solution for our bathroom. The room was fully tiled and current plaster under them was loose so I am in the process of removing everying from the walls. My question is what would be the best replacement given that the walls are both...

There are some newer ones coming out real cheap that are based on plastics. The end of the bristles is very fine and very soft, but the main part lays paint down. Run your hand over the end, if it feels soft and is white, they're probably the kind I mean. I paid about £4 for one from...

I'm going to be turning my veranda into a conservatory. Will be building stud walls with painted/sealed plywood sheets on the exterior sides. I need to cover these plywood sheets with something waterproof and nice looking. What do you guys suggest? Some options that I've come up with: 1...

There is an acrylic impregnant that is presently under development for the very purpose of penetrating porous substrates where it binds with the partials such as sand in the sandstone. There is no trace left on the surface after a few days. The impregnant provides weather resistant, improved...
