Thanks for replies - been away. The firm is Joinery Workshop. The problem re. the spacers is that they are saying the glaziers will only fit a vertical bar in aluminium, so the other spacers can be warm-edge but the centre bar has to be aluminium (i.e., one side of each of the four panes). I...

Thanks both. Sash depth is 44mm: going to have a 6.4 AL outer pane, 8mm gap, 4mm low-e inner pane. There was no talk of this being 'too slim'. Think they are using wet-glaze system. I'd've thought warm-edge spacer would make more difference in a narrow cavity as aluminium would just conduct the...

We are getting some replacement sash windows made in wood with double-glazing. Due to space limitation within the sash, the gap between the panes will be much less than most double glazing - something like 6-8mm. This made me think warm-edge spacers might be worth using. The only place we get...

Andy thanks, will do that.

Thanks to the L-shape of our small bathroom, water vapour tends to congregate in one area, which suffers from a gradual build-up of grey-black mould on the ceiling and on the tile grouting. Also there is a terrible mould patch behind a cabinet that is on the wall in that area - to the extent...

Hello all. We have a non-condensing combi boiler that provides very hot water very quickly to our kitchen tap. However, the shower, even when the mixer tap is turned right over to 'full hot' is nowhere near as hot, and takes far longer for the hot water to come through. The boiler is in the...
