Anyone have any views on this?
I have 3 large bays with 5 or 6 facets with a light in each. Some windows
are georgian barred, all are original 1930's windows in pine, treated
with
Sadolin Superdec. They are in good condition with only very superficial
rot
if any. I want to know how feasible it is to simply knock out the lights
and replace with a DG unit. By taking out the whole light as opposed to
leaving the light frame insitu there should be more than sufficient depth
for the new glass. What trim etc would I need to make it look okay, be
secure and ensure the units are compromised for lomgevity concerns? I'll
post a photo if that helps.
TIA

Why not use stepped DG units? One pane is bigger than the other so you just
fit the larger pane into the original frame with putty or mastic. Foil
usually covers the join and shows a bit on the inside. Either paint to match
or fit a suitable moulding to hide it.
They might cost a little more but if you ordered them all at once, the
suppliers could get set up to do the steps and should not charge much extra.
