UPVC windows do come with their own advantages over timber, but with modern construction techniques, the need for constant maintenance is redueced. However, the window in the image looks very old and needs a lot of treatment to bring it back to it’s former glory.

Poor quality photos, if better we could have viewed in HD.
My excuse anyway.

May Chrimbo bring you all you expect RCG – which clearly is not much.

Oh well I said six but then they all looked of a good quality —- so it was likely that they weren’t timber — Any way you can’t beet the quality of a good PVC Vertical Sash window… Complaints on my last comment should be made to Renegade Conservatory Guy…

Any way Merry Christmas to everyone, even RCG told me Merry Christmas yesterday it did stick in his throught a bit mind …. It must of been the HUMBUG…

very good … (and yes I’m a smart a**e that voted correctly!)

having problems with conservation officers right now on two properties, one a listed building the other in a conservation area (multi occupancy and a commercial premises – architects practice)

Applied for relevant permissions as normal, took samples to show respective conservation officers and planning lot, all who considered the products being offered (heritage Aluminium and Bygone sash respectively) acceptable (though not committing themselves at that stage) … eight weeks later the objections arise … what is it with these people (lets face they would be architects had they any real qualifications)

… why leave it until the eleventh hour to raise objections.. ???surely it would benefit all parties to engage in talks when the applications are registered… revised details now need to be submitted, creating further work, customers are getting fed up, same same old … its a commercial nightmare planning … these are contracts that are likely to get approval ‘eventually’ but would it make sense in a tight economy to speed these process up!

my rant over…. now back to the snow
