Cheap double glazing 'should conform to regulations'

Cheap double glazing 'should conform to regulations'There is a standard which should be met by all reputable double glazing specialists.People thinking about investing in cheap double glazing should ensure that they pick a firm which conforms to regulations, according to an industry expert.

DIY guru Jeff Howell, writing for the Daily Telegraph, stated that while some firms have a "fly-by-night reputation", anyone having windows replaced should insist on products living up to the British Standard BS6262.

He added that this will help to ensure that the new double glazing will not prematurely suffer from internal misting.

"Any reputable firm should agree to a clause in the contract stating they will leave the house in good decorative condition," he continued.

Replying to a reader's letter in the publication, Mr Howell added that if any old white paint is left around the window frames, this can be removed using the correct stripper.

Recently, Julian Cassell told the Guardian that it could cost around £300 to renovate and add draught excluders to sash windows.ADNFCR-2394-ID-19853453-ADNFCR
