I have some quite large timber-framed casement windows in the front of my house. As the frames are in serviceable condition, I had wondered about replacing the glass panes with double-glazed units, in the same frames, as a less expensive alternative to having the entire windows replaced. I think the frames are deep enough. Has anyone done this? Would I simply bed the units into the rebate, in glazing silicone or similar, put some beading over, and job done? How thick are today's standard DG units? Can one get them made to measure? Who makes them, and how much do they cost?
I've searched the archives, but couldn't find anything on this.
