• personal experience of having ~30 identical 60s houses that ours is part of (that are all strictly still the same due to estate covenants/enforcement)

    • a handful have the original single glazed, metal framed windows
    • vast majority have had them replaced with UPVC double glazing over the years
    • ours has 'thin profile' aluminum windows (fitted by previous owners)

    the styles of all three had to be identical in shape/layout, but if you're actually looking the aluminum ones look so much better, like the original they have noticeable more glass and noticeable less frame than the others. Definitely worth it IMO.

  • Thank you - I’ll ask the suppliers what the price difference is likely to be roughly for aluminium. Absolutely agree it looks better but I keep having to tell myself I won’t be here forever and the house isn’t worth enough to spend a fortune on!
