The existing windows were removed this week and the new high performance replacements installed. The reduction in external noise levels was very noticeable as well as the feeling of improved thermal insulation. What was surprising that when touched the inner face of the triple glazing was warm whilst the external air temperature was quite “chilly”.
Investigation of the bathroom floor produced a surprise, the construction was expected to be suspended timber throughout but in fact it is part
suspended and part solid floor. This has required a re-think on how to insulation this area so for the moment it is back to the drawing board.
Strengthening works to the first floor area were the new heat store have been undertaken and will be fully completed when the existing boiler is removed and the pipe work reconfigured.
