glass

I am having an old UPVC conservatory pulled down. Elsewhere I have an open sided lean to shelter attached to the house which currently is roofed with thin polycarbonate sheets that are failing and need to be replaced. The timber supports for the lean to roof are very strong and sound. Could the...

I’ve ordered grade A double glazed windows and the way light and other objects, like overhead cables, reflect off the glass gives the impression that it is warped or wavy. For example the straight cables look like they bend in two directions. The neighbours windows don’t have this but there are...

Hi, so I got installed warm roof on the conservatory including fancy glass panel . However the glass panel behaves weirdly, as when there is a sun light, it gets very hot in the inside and is basically emitting heat into the room. Also now there appeared some sort of weird blistering on the...

I'd like to put a catflap into a tall, narrow double-glazed window (300mm x 1800mm), but the window isn't wide enough for a new glass panel with circular cutout for cat flap adapter. The next best solution would be to divide the window into 2 panels. a 300mm x 300mm infill panel at the bottom...

We’ve an open plan kitchen/diner/social space, that, as you can see, has a lot of glass. It carries the same thermal delights as a conservatory. Scorchio in summer, freezing in winter. It measures about 8x8m. The area has WarmUp UFH covering it, but I’d have to sell a body part to fund...

Hi everyone, Would like some advice on insulation of the front door. The front door is made out a really nice wooden frame (looks better on the outside): And I really like the look of it, however it's not the warmest. The bottom panels were just basic thin wood ones so I was able to cover them...

hello everyone It's been brought to my attention that the conservatory which was built between 1999 and 2000s with planning applications may not comply with today's building regulation due to the glass safe and building control may enforce it and this would cost me a fortune to replace all...

U shaped stainless brackets slot over the hinge pin and are bonded to the outer front glass door - red. "Red" patch is about 3cm x 1cm. Original goo was some sort of silicone I think. Back of glass is a white enamel type paint I think, or maybe it's white-surfaced glass. I tried sanitary...

Hi, I have a 1930-40s terrace with glass panels in the vestibule,with a small section of glazing going down to the floor, can I tell whether it’s safe ? Also a half glazed internal door with a leaded pattern on it, looks fairly modern. Thanks

Hi should you caulk around the inside of a wooden frame? I have fitted a new glass unit with security tape but should I also seal it inside? I was looking for rubber sealing same as you see on PVC. Thanks

Hi lads, I have wood frames...they are solid so not going with PVC. I have new units and used double sided tape which is great but should I then on the inside rubber seal as you see with PVC, if so what shape would this be? triangle sticky ? thanks

Does anyone know of a lock like the one linked below, except that has both sides of the lock connected together for use in a office with a glass to glass sliding door? One side being a key and the other side being a thumb turn...

Hi chaps Just asking a question a few of my glass windows have bust and white matter and condensation inside, its an old bungalow updated but windows are still wood, we are selling house now. Do I replace the bad windows glass about £150 each or would you replace those bad glass windows with...

We came home to find our patio door glass shattered. Thankfully it was only the outside pane. To this day we have no idea why this happened. Anyhow, we had a contractor quote a piece of glass and install it. However, when they came to put it in, the unit they brought with them used glass...

Recently got a new front door - the Endurance Fuji door which has a narrow pane of glass in the middle of the door. Is it normal for the glass unit in the door to have a slight movement to it when its pushed? The reason I pushed it was because I can hear a small amount of outside noise coming...

Can anyone identify these shower door hinges please? Google doesn't know, and local bathroom and plumbing shops have no idea. I've looked for a manufacturer's mark, but seen anything. Please help!

Hi, Looking to upcycle the greenhouse which we inherited with our house. There are various panes of glass missing and I have been pondering over replacing these with polycarbonate sheets (in part as we have an almost 2-year old son running around the garden). Is this the best option? We would...

I'm looking for advice on fire regulations for a renovation project. Building: 3 story, end of terrace Victorian house. 3rd story is a loft conversion. An existing stud partition separates the entrance hallway from the living room (which is located at the front of the house). I'd like to...

Moved into a property with fairly old upvc doors. The front door has a glass panel insert in the top half of the door, horizontally centered about 2/3 width of door. I've noticed the glass can be moved from both sides and seems the seals and fascias have come away to some extent probably due to...
