Hi, I have an Edwardian Lodge with a mix of lovely leaded windows and plain glazed cross spar casement windows.
In the area that will be used as a utility room there are two modern (and thoroughly rotted) windows that are not in keeping with the rest of the house. I therefore called in a window supllier specialising in old houses and was told that due to building regs - i now have to install double glazed units. They look quite nice but will not be in keeping, are expensive and I feel double glazing is not right for the house anway.
Is there any truth in the suppliers statement? I would much rather have an original style window and install secondary glazing where necessary. I know double glazing is good to have but it doesn't look right!
The house is not listed BTW.
Thanks
Chris
