Retro fit treble glaze window panels

    Hi everyone

    I'm asking for people recommendations on companies who retro fit window panels and also who will tighten up the existing windows

    Our house was built in 2009 and has double glaze windows. It has around 60 to 65 individual panels. At least 10 being 6ft plus panels height wise

    I broke one last year with the strimmer and was quoted 400 to replace like for like so I'm dreading what the cost to retro fit could be.

    Timber frame house and I put down most heat loss to the large windows. From peoples experiences, is it worth the expense?

    Thanks.

    Not as straightforward as just swapping double for triple glazed glass ... you need to think about added weight of tg etc.

    You think your windows are your main heat loss issue ... have you ever had an air tightness test done?
