Fair play for going timber. Much nicer.

Thanks. You can get flush casement plastic now also but thought these look nice and really impressed with the fitting. Cost an arm and a leg though.

Only outstanding thing is to clean off some of the old upvc /mastic stuck to the sides. Reckon this would do it?

Yeah I used something similar; I found putting on a mega speed and just tickling it made it less prone to chunking lumps of the brick off.

Timber windows sound nice but they need to be maintained heavily or will just rot like windows of old.

 

[robfosters]

New windows (timber + acoustic glazing). Just need the inside edges of the windows plastered painted, then also going to get shutters infront

How I bought it

We’re the previous owners time travellers from the regency era?

Cool I think I'll give it a shot

My other timber windows in the extension about 10 years old and are fine /can tell the previous owners didn't really maintain them. Buying the right material and having it well painted beforehand helps.

Yes it needs some painting, cleaning and decorating but they look better. Also I wanted improved acoustic performance living near a semi busy road.

Weirdest thing is that they took those curtains to a new build, absolute lemons

The fact that you got shot of all the random bits of crap on the outside is fantastic. I have an irrational hatred for random defunct junk stuck to buildings. Fair play

Yeah even the small old aerial cable on the bottom is going. I've pulled it off the inside but not the outside till I have time /inclination to fill it

Is that an arrowslit?

A small window to walk in wardrobe.

Old pic but you get the idea. Externally I'm not too sure on it but works well internally (not too much light to bedroom, doesnt need curtains)

I noticed that too.

In my defence though, I do suffer from terminal eczema and it's not like that to the naked eye. Think I have a can of air sitting around somewhere.
