House is <10 years old, so cavity wall, well insulated roof/flooring with ufh, mvhr system
Road is very loud & busy (more than I had envisaged)
Houses are new but traditional looking, I think the reason the previous owner went for sashes..
Eurocell sash windows; When I put my hands around the sides/draught seals I can feel some cold air. Not massively but definitely something.
Windows are quite heavy to slide up, some are stiff
Noise is the main problem I have especially in the front bedrooms.
Eurocell claim a u-value of 1.3? Not sure if this is glazing or whole unit.
My questions are:
1. can I do anything to improve what’s in situ?
2. Would there be *much* difference in noise & air if replaced for casements? Or would I still have issues beings on a busy road particularly?
3. Comments if anyone is familiar with Eurocell Sashes
8 sashes + 2 bays I Imagine won’t be cheap
