Posted by IIVQ 7/30/2005 3:07 PM | remove   upvc? and what's so bad about 'em? Posted by lost 7/30/2005 3:51 PM | remove   They're ugly on a period building, or any building really, plus they don't match all the rest of the windows (since they're plastic, white and with two large panes, when the rest are wooden, green and with several smaller panes). UPVC stands for Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride - I had to look that up. :| Posted by IIVQ 7/30/2005 8:18 PM | remove   ah ok plastic windowframes are ugly indeed. From close up they might look like wood but from anywhere between a mile and 3 metre you see it's plastic. :-( Posted by SnakeCorp 8/2/2005 4:22 PM | remove   If you've got original hardwood windows, it's better to try and retrofit double glazing panels into the hardwood frames, rather than replace the lot with UPVC, as the hardwood will outlast the UPVC easily anyway. Posted by lost 8/2/2005 5:55 PM | remove   Like fitting another window behind the original? I see that's what the NHS did at Craig Dunain. Posted by TurboZutek 8/2/2005 6:18 PM | remove   That's usually more about patient protection, especially if the inside one is made from LEXAN. Posted by lost 8/2/2005 6:20 PM | remove   I thought that, but there are some with three plates of glass. Posted by PlasticDel 1/6/2006 6:35 PM | remove   UPVC isn't environmentally friendly either.
