Re: Re: Irish say no to PVC windows

Perversely I’m glad to see we’re not alone in this phenomenon, though I doubt the Continent has anything near the levels of disaster experienced in Ireland. Not even the UK is as bad (albeit not by much!).

Interesting you mention prestige buildings there Stephen – those notorious PVC sashes are still creeping around the main facade of Leinster House, after how many years now? Similarly the massive white PVC frame inserted into the Venetian window of the National Museum is also still there with no sign of movement – it looks horrendous, and recently on display to the nation for an hour on a recent news bulletin broadcast from the location.
One would have thought it a top priority of the OPW to get rid as soon as possible. Given they went all out with PVC instead of a temporary boarding up suggests it’s here for the long haul…
