I replaced a couple of knackered aluminium windows in my house recently, with some good uPVC double glazed ones. I chose uPVC because it has much better thermal properties than aluminium, but is cheaper than having wooden ones made.
However, it got me thinking about how hard would it really be to build some timber windows? I have the gear to make the profile (big router and table), and am perfectly capable of putting together strong joints. I could just drop the finished sashes off at a glazier to have double glazed units put in them. Would be an awful lot cheaper than what the joinery businesses around here charge...
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else built their own windows?
