No, I am not. I did see Grand Designs where a couple ordered very large heated triple glazed doors. I think she ordered about 15 (not sure), and three of the panels shattered due to some technical fault. They were replaced and were fine.

Because it is absolutely freezing by my patio doors. I have a through lounge and although the large patio doors are double glazed, they are very old 1986 and the frames are aluminium. The seals are probably not very efficient either as it feels quite draughty. I can't afford to put central...

I apologise to the moderator. I had posted my inquiry in the wrong forum - windows not the buildings. I couldn't see how to edit that or delete my original post.

The Kitchen is very very cold. It has 3 large windows and a door. They are double glazed and the extended roof is insulated. There is two layers of carpet tiles on the floor, but the floor still feels cold. Also, its a kitchen, so ideally I should have lino or some easy clean floor. Is there...

The extension is step up. The same level as the rest of the house, but you need to step down to get outside to the garden. I hope that makes sense. There aren't any steps coming into the house.

I have an existing extension of my through lounge and kitchen. These extensions were done years ago and I don't think the floor is insulated. How can I get these insulated without incurring a huge expense. There has been suggestions of installing underfloor heating, but due to heating expense...

I have lots of broken bricks, patio stones, concrete etc. Can these be used when laying down the foundation for a small extension? Thank you.

I am looking to buy heated triple glazed sliding patio doors. They need to have an internal coating filled with inert gas for optimal heat retention. I watched Grand Designs on TV where someone had ordered large glass panel from Belgium. The size of my patio doors is approx width 248cm x ht 210...

The size of the Patio door - ht 204cm and width 240cm, not including the wooden frames. Is there a real difference between aluminium frames and UPVC frames with regards to retaining heat?

I have large aluminium framed double glazed sliding patio doors. They are quite old. The seal is fine between the glass panes. My problem is the area by the patio doors which is an extension leading to my through lounge gets very cold. Thus making my front room cold. Replacing them with PVC new...

I am planning to remove the chimney breast in my front room and the upstairs room. My next door neighbour (adjoining wall) has had hers removed from all the rooms. I know that it will require a supporting beam. Any advice and the cost of such a job would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for your responses. I have decided to save up and replace my old patio doors with PVC framed double glazed doors. Is there any difference in the quality of double glazing comparing Everest, Anglian and Astral windows. Thanks.

Thank you. Whilst we are on the topic of doors. Can someone advice me whether it is better to fit secondary glazing to my old aluminium double glazed doors for extra warmth OR do I just replace the old patio doors with new PVC patio doors? Is there a real difference in Everest doors compared...

what exactly is a composite door?

I had an extension added to my through lounge 24 years ago. The french windows were replaced by aluminium framed double glazed patio doors. They are still in good condition, airtight and seals are OK, but the area is very cold in the winter. I wonder whether the chill in the area is because...

Thank you for responding. Does it make any difference to how the glass-wool layer is placed - across or on top of each other?

I wish I could! I have contacted several roofers. This roofer has done my neighbours and has stood the test of time :) Also, his was the cheapest quote.

The roofer is adamant that he is not going to strip off all the felt. I did try telling him to strip off all the felt but he is insisting that he doesn't need to.

I am going to be replacing my flat extension roof with a sloping pitch roof. The roofer is going to remove only 2 ft felt off the flat roof, away from the main wall. As the leak is towards the guttering, do I insist that the roofer strips the entire felt from the flat roof to see the water...
