Compared to normal DG? Does it work as well?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=32308#Comment_32308 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=32308#Comment_32308 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:18:40 +0100 rogerwhit https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=32394#Comment_32394 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=32394#Comment_32394 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:28:41 +0100 funcrusher There are several window manufacturers who produce high quality replacement georgian style windows which make greater concessions to architectural accuracy utilising cheaper DG, with probably greater thermal efficiency.

Edit: As I understand it the main cause of seal failure is poor installation practice. For example the use of tapered spacers to center the unit in the frame causes the weight of the unit to be carried on one pane. Inadequate drainage can cause water to pool around the seal which then freezes etc.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66106#Comment_66106 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66106#Comment_66106 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:18:54 +0000 hotelRefurber https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66147#Comment_66147 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66147#Comment_66147 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:52:23 +0000 CWatters Posted By: hotelRefurberCWatters, are yours in conservation area windows?

We have four windows from the heritage range here..

We had to use the heritage range rather than the better "Advanced System" as they can't bend the profile for that.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66264#Comment_66264 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2516&Focus=66264#Comment_66264 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:48:02 +0000 hotelRefurber
My problem is good old conservation sashes, I want to do something but im stuck because I am worried about reliability and of course the conservation officer, and also the expense!

At the moment I am heading towards secondary glazing.

Saved a huge amount of money compared to replacement.
