Well at least we were right about them being PVC.
Well the windows on the Ntl Gallery ar’nt PVC although I can see why one may think that. They’re those chunky ‘English’ Victorian white painted windows that are not dissimilar to PVC when seen from a distance.
Put it simply…
ALL PVC CRAP SHOULD BE ERADICATED. THE GLAZING INDUSTRY IN THIS COUNTRY NEEDS “REGIME CHANGE”!
I propose a penalty points system for those who destroy timber and Cast-Iron windows with PVC slop:
10 percent Higher Taxes for those who replace their windows with PVC.
20 percent Higher taxes for those who replace their windows with PVC replete with rosette designed “stained glass”.
30 percent Higher Taxes for those who replace their windows with fake timber PVC stuff.
All will be implimented within ten days.
I fear 90% of the population will be paying higher taxes if this came in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) 🙂 🙂 😉 :rolleyes:
Thank god they are not staying! I di some investigation myself and i descovered to my horror that uPVC windows are not so popular because they are less expensive. They can be up to three times as expensive as wooden windows. I was told by the cust service rep of Irelands leading uPVC manufacturer that they are so popular because they are “more pleasing to the eye offer more security and are practically maintainance free”. SO its not cost it is lazyness.
You are right Graham about the ngi, i went to have a closer look today and they are wood. thank god for that.

SO its not cost it is lazyness.That’s such a relief to me too. I was afraid that the Irish were using PVC on grounds of cost. At least now I can rest easy in the leaba because its an aesthetic choice 😉
Rest easy? When innocent peole are stupidly sealing themselves into their homes in a horrific eye bashing glass and plastic coffins!
Its a scientific fact, uPVC windows caused Thirdworld debt, aids and ugly people!
The fact that its an vasthetic problem is even worse! Has the country no taste?
Its purely the practicality of the material that makes it so popular.
In my experience 99% of people choose it for this reason.Still that 1% out of several hundred thousand people is a hell of a lot of people who think their plastic wondows look great, Thats really frightning!
Mass hysteria – yes, disproportionate – No. I think if you compare the amount of times i’ve pissed myself with anger seeing some fool grinning with glee as he has just festooned his house with these horrible excuse for windows with the amount of people who have installed them its actually quiet small. I saw a 300yo schoolhouse the other day, sometime in the non recent past it had been divided in to who small houses, still bearing their original windows. And quiet pretty. Until…… The other day on one side of the house the original (to the time it was divided) door had been ripped out and replaced with a plastic abomination and to add insult to injury it had a signature “stained galss panell with pink orchids i believe.
An Taisce complains about PVC windows
Frank McDonald
Frank McDonald, Environment EditorAn Taisce has complained to Dublin City Council that PVC windows are being installed in a listed building in Temple Bar that houses the Green Party headquarters.
In a letter to the council’s planning enforcement manager, Ms Bernie Conlon, it said these works at the rear of 5a Fownes Street were being undertaken without planning permission

WHAT!…..the Green Party have installed PVC windows in their offices? …..Those great bastions and defenders of Mother Nature,…. John Gormless, Trish (Mad) McKenna, Trevor Sargeant Major, and the other forgetable half -wits……etc …..whom are willing to chain themselves to trees so as to get maximum exposure for the party and jeopardise and hold up the much needed revamp of Ireland’s premiere street….and disagree just for the sake of it putting the Green party’s popularity and vote grabbing agenda first.
I’m not surprised . Sure any of them would’nt know a weed from a flower.Hypocrites! I knew the high almighty Green Party would be found out eventually!
I think PVC should be banned. No further questions.
Lads if you read the article there is no evidence that the Green Party even knew this was happening….
Mr Eamon Ryan, the Green Party TD, said he wasn’t aware of the installation of PVC windows in the Fownes Street building. “We have no control over it as we are only tenants. However, I would take An Taisce’s view on board. “
I’m sorry i cant read it, “premium content”.
J. Seerski. I agree, ban them, fine those how have them and shoot those who wont remove them… with plactic bullets. Irony is always funny!Maybe they’ll chain themselves to the old timber frames as a protest…..
I believe the original window frames were there since Daniel O’Connell times, Parnell had the pleasure to gaze out of them…..Padraig Pearse often cleaned them when he had a part time job as a window cleaner…and they witnessed the 1916 uprising too. Maybe Trish Mckenna will raise this issue in the European Parliment.
