We have wooden framed double glazing. Some are a little shabby on the outside but my dh sanded the worst one down and mended it best he could, finished with a coat of paint they look absolutely fine.
Just because they are oldish (15 yrs maybe) and the front ones getting a bit shabby i was considering replacing with upvc windows. Not the white but the dark grey ones. Been quoted 6k for the job which includeds 11 windows.
When i look at friends windows my windows are middle of the road, they dont let terrible draughts in and they are reasonable condition. Just our winters are so severe and only solid fuel heating, i want to make the house as cosy and draught free as possible. Have re insulated the loft etc.
Anyone any thoughts? Would i actually feel the difference? How can i tell how good the windows we have are? The gap between the glass is around 10mm so I dont think they are great.
Help! Please give me some advice.
