window

Had a look on line today and got a number of prices for windows. Currently have wooden ones and want to stop having to paint every so often. So going to make the change. Anyone have a view as to whether there is one supplier out there that is significantly cheaper than the others, and still...

Hi, I have some timber window frames on my house. To the front of the property the windows look like they are hardwood and currently have a Ronseal exterior woodstain on them. To the rear of the property the frames appear to have a painted gloss finish (not sure if the frames are hardwood or...

Two inner concrete lintels(100x~250) supporting 1/2 of external 30s solid walls, one supports a 1.8m window opening in 1st floor (carrying 3 courses and roof) and the other a 2m window opening in ground floor (supporting 10 courses and then an exact size window opening in 1st floor), are blown...

Hi, I want to fit a curtain pole to the wall, above a pair of windows and door. The problem is there seems to be some sort of metal lintel about 1 inch below the plaster. I've bought the finest drill bits - Milwaukee Thunderweb, set my cordless drill to hammer and max torque and it won't go...

I have timber doors and windows on a 1940s semi. On the front on the property the windows and doors have a dark oak stained finish. On the rear they have a dark brown gloss painted finish. I can see some paint is flaking off and there appears to be a grey finish underneath - i'm assuming its...

If a ground floor room is used as a bedroom, does the window still need to have a bottom opening as it would on the first floor? It's a 1600mm high at present and has a small top opening, not enough to climb out of. That said, it's door is just off the hall, so maybe the window doesn't need to...

Hi, The lower middle sealed unit in the picture seems to need replacing - it has water runs inside it. I've done this before using a putty knife to pop the inside beads off then suction cup holder to lift out. This seems to be an older sealed unit and doesn't have any beads inside to pop...

Hi, Somehow my window can't close properly. I looked at the hinges and seems they are not broken. But somehow it got stuck why I try to close it. I asked a windows guy and he said i have to replace the whole window. Is it really the case I have to replace the whole window? I attached some photos...

Hi there, Hoping someone can offer their advice. I am planning on reusing approx. 30 yr old windows to make a small lean-to greenhouse. The layer between the wooden frames and glass is crumbling and I am not entirely sure whether this is the old putty. The frames have been stripped of...

Hello All, I am about to start insulating our dining room. We live in a 1930s Yorkshire stone and red brick cavity wall end terrace house. Cavity wall insulation is not possible nor is External Wall Insulation so Internal Wall Insulation it is. I have already used Gyproc Thermaline Super 90mm...

Hi all, I had a new VEKA window fitted by a joiner roughly one year ago who I can no longer get in contact with. The window appears to be leaking, at first it was insinuated that it was the flat roof that was causing the leak. However, after hiring a roofer and spending at least 6 months...

Hi. I have now started to tile the dormer . I thought I had calculated window positions correctly to correspond with the plain tile edges but with the additional counter battens requested by Building control it now requires a slither of a tile :-( Windows are ordered already so cant change the...

Hi, I have two quotes for 70mm profile windows for a new build house with little or nothing between them: 1. Spectus (steel re-enforced) 2. Liniar My instinct is to go with Spectus as it has steel re-enforcement and the manufacturer claim an A rating. Does steel re-enforcement make a...

Does anybody have a cheap method for getting these large, old, draughty crittall windows secondary glazed? There are 9 of these windows. I have bought 9 huge 4mm plexiglass sheets that are big enough to sit on the wall covering the whole thing. The windows are 1500x1200. I thought about using...

hey, So the heat has hit my front door and the beadings popped out. It wouldn't go back in so I stupidly cut it down to size and now it just falls out. I tried to identify the door, frame, locks etc but couldn't find anything about the door itself. The locks are FUHR, the hinges trojan but...
