Goodbye old wooden-framed single-glaze windows, draughty in the winter,
letting in the heat in the summer!
It's a little sad to see them go: they served so very well. Also, I hate seeing waste, and watching them be pulled apart/destroyed (because there's nowhere that will take them) is awful. I probably should have researched into places to get them deconstructed and the glass (at least) reused...
We had to take the external awnings off, and looking at the construction, I don't know that we're going to be able to put them back on again...
It's amazing how large the window holes actually look!
And then the window frames and the glass installed:
That window has three openable sections: one awning in the middle, two tilt-and-turns on the edges. For better north-south breezes.
Now let's see how the installers do on the 'sealing it up and not negating the point of having double-glazing in the first place' part of the deal! They've assured me that they'll be sealing up around the windows with a polyurethane sealant and it will be airtight.
We shall see...
