Anyone get a SEAI energy assessment done?
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Is that a serious question?

Of course you can use the sink (as long as you have the right connector)

Think I paid 3k cash for 3 at the front and one at the side. Frames, glazing and window boards. 

That was Jan last year.

Keeping existing uPVC frames that are only 20mm thick.  They can't take triple glaze units.

Budget won stretch to replace units fully. Two windows are already fogged so need to be done.

Prominent reputable company with 10 year guarantee.

Same company looking at 13k to replace frames and windows 

€5200 Seems ok to me?

Anyone got thoughts on the price quoted for this? Is it ok or off the wall?

The One down side is that the finish isn't totally flush like boards but it's a superior product and no cutting or mess. 

Who did this for you?

Was weather shield hb

Was it worth it?

I have major insulation issues in my house (mainly at the front of the house) as it's about 20 years old and the builders took every shortcut in the book no doubt.

Am half thinking about the external insulation but not 100% convinced it's worth the money.


Slab the inside of it HB. Fraction of the cost.

How much ballpark to get new double glazing for a 4 bed semi?

These guys quoted €13k for new triple glazing and frames for a 3 bed (7 windows). Dublin pricing.

.8 uvalue. 

Not including doors.

Paid €2600 about 3 years ago for a large Palladio door with two side lights.

And to add, you’d be amazed the difference new window boards make also.

Assume you got a few quotes Tom? Are the frames in good nick and sealed properly also? Could prove to be a false economy of sorts to replace the glass if the frames aren’t sealed properly to the blockwork.

This. 100%.
