Re: Re: Restoring sash windows

A grand array of handsome sashes there brainscan. Good to see retention is on the cards!

Thanks for all the replies S.O.S – most informative. On one last point, and based upon the above case, is it possible in most cases to double-glaze a typical single-pane sash window, or is it very much joint solidity and member size dependant? Say in a typical 1900 house where the original glass has long vanished?

It’s issues such as these, which involve the retention of original fabric while offering a energy-saving solution, that aren’t getting enough public airing.
