We have double front doors and sidelights with double-glazing (perhaps
30 years old), but one sidelight is the only one without signs of leakage. In addition, most of the external hard plastic rims that hold the glass in the door are cracked.The manufacturer
Pease does sell the rims separately but claims that a rim-and-glass set is not much more expensive than the rim alone. I do not have prices for the rims separately, however, so I don't know what the real difference is.
OK, here's the question: assuming that the rims on their own are not outrageously expensive, how satisfactory might it be to
(a) buy suitable double-glazing assemblies locally? -- but either plain glass or a different pattern.
or
(b) get the current double-glazing assemblies rebuilt locally, thus retaining the pattern?
