I bought a Victorian Terrace in a very poor state, about two years ago and have been trying to put it straight ever since. One nice thing that one of the previous owners did was rip out the sashes at the front, completely change the opening and stick in UPV windows.

Lucky me, I now have to try and rectify it.

Obviusly this work is not going to be cheap and I have a few questions

1. How practical is it to use salvaged sash windows (at least the sash box) - and does anyone know of somewhere in the South East that has a good stock, as I need a specific size to match the rest of the street.

2. THe original layout of windows was what I belive is called a 'flat 3' so it one main sash with two side lights separated by a masonary colomn. I have measured next doors and the colomn is only 15 cm/6'' wide - how is this created? is it just one stack of half brick?

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative

Cheers

Sorry if this sounds negative but I really do think you'll be wasting your time.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1478&Focus=17250#Comment_17250 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1478&Focus=17250#Comment_17250 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:17:09 +0000 Stu
Although to be fair I would be making the hole to fit the windows so as long as they are roughly the same size it doesn't matter. But thanks for he comments - looks like I may have to fork out for replacment ones.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1478&Focus=17251#Comment_17251 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1478&Focus=17251#Comment_17251 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:28:35 +0000 tony
