Avoiding double glazing
Is there any way of getting round these horrible new building regulations that all replacement windows have to be double-glazed? Even PVC one are really expensive and rarely last more than five years before the seal breaks. I don't know what the Government was thinking of because the heating money saved by double-glazing cannot be greater than the cost of having to keep replacing your windows. Most heat goes out through walls, doors and the roofs anyway: it's a simple question of square footage. And then once you've installed these idiotic sealed double-glazed windows, you have to install trickle vents to let cold fresh air into the house again, to reduce condensation! It's madness!
Also ,does anyone agree with me that double-glazed units, even in wood, look horrid? They are so fat and inelegant. PVC to my eyes is just disgusting, whereas a well-sealed and balanced single-glazed sash window is a beautiful thing and more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly in the long term.
