The dreaded uPVC industry, purveyor of incongruous plastic frames, accounts for 80 per cent of them. Aesthetics are one thing, facts another. How have so many of us been so fooled? Double glazing is meant to save on heating bills. But anyone who installs it purely to cut back on energy consumption would have to wait between 20 and 100 years to recoup their investment.
uPVC double glazed units last approximately 20 years. Funny how companies offer only a 10-year guarantee.The first thing to go is usually the seal. Once the windows mist up, you have to buy a new unit. More salesmen, more money.Double-glazed homes are meant to be warm and dry. Unfortunately, they are hermetically sealed, too. Moisture builds up, water drips down the windows: not what the salesman promised at all.Then there is the environment. Making uPVC uses large amounts of energy. More worryingly, dioxin, hormone disrupter and probable human carcinogen, is a by-product of uPVC manufacture and of its incineration. Now the Government wants to make double glazing compulsory in all new-build properties. Will it add value to my house? UPVC double-glazed windows in an older house (pre-1930s) will not add value to your property. They are more likely to decrease its value as potential buyers calculate how much they will have to spend replacing them. Following the Government's proposed changes to the Building Regulations, discreet double glazing in keeping with a house's style - wooden sash windows, for example - might soon add value if the proposals become law.
uPVC appears to be an increasingly poor investment as more information becomes available about related environmental hazards. How much will it cost? Mumford & Wood (01621 818155) sells double-glazed sash and boxed sash windows in Georgian and Edwardian styles. A typical (120cm x 90cm cavity) "conservation sash", in treated European Redwood and with low-emission glass, costs between £800 and £900, including three layers of paint. Expect to pay more for Douglas Fir, a naturally durable softwood. Hardwood, such as mahogany, costs up to 50 per cent extra.Steel windows do not come pre-glazed. Crittal Windows (01376 324106) supply the frames only. A galvanised, opening small window (508mm x 923mm) costs £92.38 plus VAT. Expect to pay about £13 for the glass (421mm x 836mm cutting size, 6mm cavity) and about £100 for fitting the window and installation.The Glass and Glazing Federation (020 7403 7177) is a trade association for the industry. It provides consumer advice and a list of local members.
It also has a code of ethical practice. Members are reluctant to give an idea of the cost without making a home visit. Caveats If you do opt for uPVC double glazing, check that the frames have been stiffened internally with steel strips: uPVC itself is not strong and can buckle under its own weight. Cheap suppliers have been known to install windows without the steel.Despite the salesmen's claims, uPVC is not maintenance-free. To avoid discoloration, clean the surface thoroughly every six months. Prolonged exposure to sunlight has been known to turn uPVC yellow and brittle. There is little that can be done once it starts to "chalk" and crack.The replacement, without consent, of original windows with plastic copies in a listed building or conservation area is punishable by a fine or even imprisonment. Beware the new breed of sash-window salesmen, who are almost as pushy as their uPVC colleagues.Finally, check the width of the gap between the glass. Theoretically, it should be 50mm for thermal insulation, but 12mm is the acceptable norm.
