Default Single Glazed, Timber Framed Windows

Does anyone know of a source for single glazed, timber framed windows.


I presume this is for a shed or something? It would be illegal to install in
a house, except in some specific cases.



No, its not.

Provided the insulation is up to scratch.

A fully triple glazed conservatory will average out at a U value of about 1.8.


A fully insulated wall with a 10% window area of SG glass will average
out at 0.5 or so.

You work out which is better on total thermal loss...and fortunately the
BCO are also aware. You just have to do the calculations to prove it.


Note that no conservatory OUGHT to be allowed under he rules at all, -
they only slip through on teh 'elemental method'
