I love the glazing!

Please can you tell me who supplied the glazing for this fabulous room? I am hoping to do something similar with my kitchen extension

Hello, unfortunately we don't know exactly where these windows and doors were from as the customers sourced them themselves. However, if you google 'Crittall style windows' then lots of suppliers should pop up! We hope this helps. deVOL Kitchens

POLL: Single, double or triple glazed?

chanti1, my grandparents used to have massive condensation problems with their double glazing as it was added as an afterthought, it had about a 4 inch gap and was not sealed so they would have to keep cloths in the gap to mop it all up. In my parents house there were a couple of windows prone to this problem between the panes - caused when the seal on the double glazed units failed. Because you can't get to it the result is eventually mould. The units had to be changed which to my mind seems drastic and wasteful. There should be a way of removing, cleaning and resealing units on site. Of course condensation happens with single glazing all the time. Where I live now we get condensation on the outside of the window at night. Air conditioning indoors and extreme humidity outside with night time temperatures still in the high twenties centigrade does that.

@Jonathan - The frames and door are nearly 25 years old, and so are coming up to being ready to be replaced (almost all other houses on the estate have moved over to uPVC). @Sven I'm not mad on the door colour. It's previously been black (a little boring) and pillar box red (which I preferred). @Man about the House, thanks for the picture. I guess I need to do some mock-ups. Are there any free/straightforward to use tools that people on here use for that sort of thing (i.e. not Photoshop). I think I see what you're saying about keeping the timber matching the bricks, but would like to see it in grey too (maybe we could paint the bricks to match?)

Hi sugarbowl17. The glazed screen looks good from inside as well. Why do you think it’s thermally poor? Do you get a lot of condensation when heated or do you feel the house is not warm enough in cold days? Timber has much better thermal property than aluminium. Aluminium windows work thermally only if it has a proper thermal break in the frame. Aluminium has high embodied energy content, so less use is preferred for sustainability. The worst part of a window thermally is always the glazing even if it is triple-glazed. Depending on the issues you are having, replacing the glazed screen might not be your solution. At least the entrance screen was, it looks to me, well-designed, probably by a proper architect, and well-built so you could easily downgrade it, if you are not careful. Is it not, for example, just a matter of upgrading the heating system? or Upgrading the windows only? I can’t see the detail of the hole-in-wall windows, so I’m not certain but if they are very old then it’s much easier to upgrade these than the screen. Regarding the aesthetic of the house, it has a Scandinavian Modern aesthetic with timber used on ceiling and windows etc., so this is one more reason not to replace with aluminium windows. It reminded me of the Louisiana Museum in Denmark, known as ‘the world’s most beautiful museum’. (My photo attached below) There is a type of composite window which has timber frame internally and aluminium externally, combining the thermal efficiency of wood and durability of metal which might be suitable. You can contact us if you'd like us to look at your project holistically.

You can use slim profile, vacuum double glazing units to install double glazing into your doors. The FINEO vacuum glass has 6.7 mm thickness, so almost the same thickness as single glazing https://chameleon-decorators.co.uk/fineo-glass/
