As it says. I started cutting out a bit of rot on one side of the window cill which then turned into a complete paint strip down.

So whilst in this state I would like to explore what solutions there are to double glaze the existing window?

I was think about making new hardwood casements but the existing softwood is looking so good I was wondering what solutions there are to double glaze the existing wooden frames?

I think I will have to make new opening casements to provide effective draught proofing unless there is a long term solution to modify the existing.

Not worth trying. If you are that bothered about it being single glazed get a new one ( not being funny :) )

Just cut all the rot out, replace like for like, scrape old paint off, re-putty windows and clean the glass really thoroughly.

Hope this helps.

Drop us a THANKS if this helped please.
 
I could do as you suggest but it would still leave me with poorly fitting opening sashes plus no improved insulation especially as these are north facing windows.

I have tried over the years to fit draught excluder but it doesn’t last very long.

Think I’m going to make new sashes from hardwood.
