Problems with a window...
I'm in the process of replacing an about 20 year old Magnet softwood
window which was rotten with a UPV one from Screwfix. I didn't measure the old one carefully, assuming they were standard sizes, and how wrong can you be... The new one, the only one they do close to the original in size, is about 75mm too short in height. Not enough of a gap for a full brick, though. Seems strange to me - I'd have thought since the majority of sales would be for replacements in houses with non metric bricks, they'd be sized to an equal number of courses. So, what's the easiest way to make up the gap underneath? Cutting bricks in half or thereabouts height wise sounds rather skilled for me, unless my tile cutter would do this in a couple of passes. Use creasing tiles? Or can you buy bricks to match London stocks that would do the job? Any suggestions gratefully received... -- *Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? * Dave Plowman London SW 12 RIP Acorn |
