[QUOTE="renewablejohn, post: 7802531, member: 1136"] Sounds like there asking for upvc rather than wood. Wooden frames can be designed to have triple glazing just as easy as single. From memory mine are 4,16,4,16,4 with solar coating on inside and self clean on outside, argon filled. Planners dont like upvc in old buildings and I dont like wood as my windows although a lot of them are only narrow by the time you had wood surrounds the light was drastically reduced. Fortunately still had an original leaded pane direct into stone mullions so with English Heritage help forced the jobsworth in charge of listed building consent to agree with the traditional glass direct into the stone mullions sealed with burnt mastic. The newer extension uses the same triple glaze units replacing single glaze but had to be in wooden surrounds to distinguish between the 'old' and the 'new'. [/QUOTE]
