Conservatory Outlet Salesmen Put In 5 Star Efforts

The October edition of Conservatory Outlet’s on-going Top Dog competition has been dominated by one dealership, with two salesmen from Kidderminster dealer 5 Star Windows & Conservatories winning all three monthly categories.

Ross Manser kept up his challenge for top spot after being named overall Top Dog for the month and taking the Largest Loggia Order, whilst Alan registered October’s Largest Heritage Windows Sale to make it a clean sweep of victories for the pair.

Is double-glazing worth the money?

Q : I have had two quotes from a local firm for eight timber sash windows and the front door of my 1860 house. One is for overhauling and draught-proofing, and comes to £1,660; the other is for replacement with new wooden double-glazed sash units, for £8,250.

Would you recommend overhauling (they are not in too bad a condition) or replacement with double-glazed units? The only advantage with the latter I can see is a reduction in heat loss, but I suspect this may be minimal and insufficient to justify the additional cost. I seem to recall that you think double glazing is not worth the money anyway.

                                                                                                           

A: I don’t think that “double glazing is not worth the money”. What I have said is that replacing old windows with new double-glazed windows will not pay for itself in heat savings. The single most cost-effective measure anyone can undertake is good-quality draught-proofing, and you might find that this, plus the addition of secondary glazing on the inside of the existing windows, is your best bet.
