Everest. We are getting uPVC sash windows. The frames are thicker, yes, but the surveyor has assured us that the profile will only be a few mm different to the existing TOTAL DOGSHIT single glazed alu windows. With all the other maintenance that comes with this house (built 1902), we didn't want to add anything else. Plus, warms and quiet. Heating this gaff is not easy, so anything to also offset that. Everest also do what they call a constant line of sight, so the frames are the same thickness on all panes, whether they open or not, so it's not so visually jarring (another thing I don't like about PVC, it's really obvious which ones open and which don't by looking at the thickness of the frame). We are getting 11 windows replaced, most nearly 2m tall, for about £14k. Wooden sash (from Everest, so would have likely been cheaper elsewhere) was £24k.
