			<![CDATA[Picked up an insanely cheap sliding door with two 1.5x2m panes that's ideal for a job I have but the double glazing is 6-6-6 so probably over 3 for its u value. I'm fairly confident I could strip it apart and clean the old glue off, and find someone locally to do a "put an 20mm warm edge spacer, and hot glue it up" for a few quid - there is space in the frame to go upto a 32mm pane thickness.<br /><br />However, it's going in a seldom-heated 60sqm garden room gym/cinema that will be well insulated everywhere else though so I'm not sure whether upgrading the glazing is actually ever going to pay back the money, effort or emissions associated with the remanufacture. Probably easier all round to get a decent set of curtains<br /><br />what do you good people think? Is upgrading DG by improving what you already have ever worth it?]]>
