Seen many older posts on here about sash windows... sorry to start another, but really looking for some advice on this one.
We currently have wooden sash windows in our Edwardian semi. They are in okay condition, but could do with a refurb. They are also single glazed.
We are facing the sea and it can get quite chilly so we are looking to upgrade to double glazing.
So we have narrowed it down to two options -
First option is to repair damaged bits of the wood boxes and have new sashes made with double glazing (slim-lite glass which will look like single or we can also just go for straight up double glazed).
Second option, we can repair the damaged bits of the wood boxes and replace the single glazed wood sashes with double glazed PVC.
The first option costs £650 per window, the second costs £350 per window. Obviously, I am attracted to the cheaper option, however I would rather keep our colder single glazed windows than destroy the character of our home.
I am hoping someone on here has perhaps gone with the second option in their own home and can tell me if it was a success?
