Hi all,
Our new house has a number of old double glazed units made out of wood which are all pretty tatty.
The seem to be original to the house (circa 1980) and thus are an old style of glazing with little/no space between the glass panes.
Originally I was inclined to have then replaced with new modern uPVC DG windows (can't afford to replace with new wooden ones)... however a couple of people have mentioned that I should try and save these windows by giving them some TLC.
I thought new windows would be much more thermally efficient and also easier to get replacement glass for (as a few of these units are blown).
What do others think? Stick with the wood, or go for plastic?
Thanks
Andy
