Re: Re: Irish say no to PVC windows

At the time the original windows were installed the timber was slow grown pine. the fast grown pine available today would be too soft. . . . which is why you have to use a hardwood.

I agree that I devalued the house. But only one of the houses on the street has sash windows, so I was just matching the rest of the street. – also I couldn’t afford the sash ones – as mentioned.
