  • Can I take a window out of its Pvc frame and make a wooden frame?

  • Do you mean getting a wooden window made? There’s some serious work a kit needed to make one yourself.

    You could put the existing unit in but you’ll probably find the cost of a new DG unit is negligible compared to the frame.

    They do have a shelf life so I’d put in new glazing with a 10 year guarantee.

    It should be toughened if the glass height is >800mm from the floor.

    If that's taking the double glazed sealed unit out and repurposed in a new wooden frame.

    Yes you can, but don't!

    An old unit seal could fail when you release the compression of the glazing beads. Would you want to redo the glazing in a years time.

    Without the constraints of the old glass size, you would probably have a thinner frame profile and more viewing glass. It would also make the frame easier to make.

    Make the frame to fit the hole.
    Get glass made to fit the frame.
