New windows - New look

11 years ago

Any advice on changing windows of our house? House has a 70's look at the moment I think, and wondered about changing to wooden small panes to create a cottage style. They are UPVC at the moment. Budget doesn't stretch to changing dormers unfortunately.

Hi Fiona,

You can get the "small pane" effect with upvc windows.. When you have them made for you (which shouldn't cost much more than standard windows), they can put strips "within" the double glazing, which then gives the effect of small panes from a distance, but when you're cleaning your windows you're actually cleaning one large pane of glass.

My advice would be, get as many quotes as you can for standard windows, then ask your preferred supplier to quote again, for the windows with the stripes in,

1. functional design for two cooks (my mother-in-law and I are often cooking separate meals at the same time) 2. Practical storage. It doesn't matter if how many drawers and cabinets you have if they aren't well laid out and the right size. 3. Eat in with bar and breakfast table. Our parties often end up in the kitchen 4. At least one unencumbered long expanse of counter space so that I can do all of my prep work in one spot. 5. Plenty of space for my recycling and trash cans.

I love shutters but I think they would totally change the look of your house which looks great btw.If you're going to have mouldings and drop the window box a little lower I would think about artificial plants. I'm just thinking plants will need a fair bit of upkeep and unless you go up a ladder it could be dangerous! I know people may well disagree on that but I'm just thinking about leaning out of a window! I've had a quick look and you may struggle to find mouldings (seem to be called pediments?!) which would blend with the house. If so, just go for a deeper window box but hopefully you'll have more luck than me!
