Cheap double glazing a 'good alternative to leaded-light windows'

Cheap double glazing a 'good alternative to leaded-light windows'A home improvements expert has suggested that those with old leaded-light windows with rotting frames consider double glazing as an option.Homeowners seeking to replace the rotting frames of their old leaded-light windows should consider incorporating leaded panes into cheap double glazing with timber frames, according to a home improvements expert.

Jeff Howell wrote in his column in the Daily Telegraph that leaded-light windows are an important architectural feature of many houses built in the 20s and 30s and they are "well worth preserving".

He went on to suggest that it could be difficult for people wanting to replace their rotting wooden frames to find an experienced local carpenter to repair the original windows sympathetically.

Mr Howell advised that, when looking for double glazing prices, homeowners should seek-out companies that can incorporate stained glass and leaded lights into the outer pane.

Last month, the Conservatory Outlet advised those seeking new wooden window frames to consider contacting UPVC window suppliers, as this type of cheap double glazing is available with frames designed to look like oak and rosewood.
