Has anyone had UPVC sash windows installed? Happy with them?
Our house has had replacement, single-pane, top opening style windows and I'm jealous of some of the neighbour's houses that still have the original wooden sash windows. However, I acknowledge the benefits of double glazing and UPVC, so I'd ideally like the best of both worlds.
I have got quotes from two reputable, local installers (one of them manufacture their own) and I was quite shocked how much they cost. It would be a massive outlay to do the whole house so I’m just wondering if anyone else had been in a similar position.
In general, do you think they look good? Worth spending the extra?
