"Let me take you on a trip, around the world and back and you won't have to move, you just sit still"
And
after that perfect intro by Depeche Mode, I’m going to take you on a trip of our
new doors and windows because what could be more riveting than looking at UPVC
windows, right?
Finally I see a window of opportunity 
And a portal into the unknown
After
weeks of waiting, the new UPVC window and door have arrived! Yay!!
What a window whopper! Not sure how they're going to lift it into position 
Astragal bars removed before lifting
In
keeping with the other windows replaced earlier on, the new window is a
Georgian style design with astragal bars on the outside of the glass.
Phew! It fitted perfectly in the gap
Although
it looks like there are 2 pairs of outward opening French windows which is what
I’d originally wanted, this window unit only has outward opening panes on each
end. The two central sections are ‘fake’
windows that don’t open.
Viewed from outside with no astragal bars fitted
Having
side opening sections will enable Bertie (as well as burglars) to access the
house from the garden once he’s allowed outside.
Perfect garden access for cats and burglars
There’s
also a lovely wide window sill on the inside which no doubt will become a cat
bed in the future.
That's where my bed will be says Bertie
The
UPVC French doors are in the same style as the window, with both doors outward
opening into the patio area.
Doors ready to be fitted
New sill in position
Another perfect fit
I
like the look of the Georgian style for doors and windows. It gives the exterior a look of understated
elegance and provides an almost cosy cottage feel to an interior. Again, well worth the extra expenditure to get the house looking just right.
