Does it make much difference whether you have relatively more, but smaller windows, or is it cheaper to have fewer, but larger, windows ? Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 3Jun 22, 2007 2:28 pm Cabinfever Great info Eco, thanks ! Does it make much difference whether you have relatively more, but smaller windows, or is it cheaper to have fewer, but larger, windows ? Smaller windows are slightly dearer as the ratio of aluminium or uPVC + hardware to glass is greater (glass is cheaper). But not so dear as to worry about it!

Tel. 1800 326 326 Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 6Jul 10, 2007 9:24 pm Obviously double glazing has more material - so it must be more expensive than single glazing.... BUT - EcoClassic's prices are way out of line with market prices and in some cases especially if you are an owner builder, we will beat a single glazed price!!

I have a typical 80's single large sliding glass window with the timber trimview "look" and then 2 panels of glass below. How much to replace 1 x window with double glazed sliding windows or a doublke glaed awning window to give it a new look and make the bedroom more temperature stable. I'd do all 3 accross the front of the house but price per window? Steve Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 8Jul 12, 2007 3:39 am Hi Steve,

Got busy rebuilding a fence, chopping firewood, bit of gardening & cleaning up then yard, working on my mates bash car, and as I drove out today I went - sh&^T must measure that window. Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 12Jul 17, 2007 10:02 am Ok - Tape measure in hand :
The entire opening is 1520 wide x 1770 high. Currently it is a standard slider on the top section, with 2 x smaller fixed panes below. In a new config I'd like wind out awning windows at the bottom, with a slider on the top - double glazed the cost is? There are 3 bedrooms that I might upgrade to improve the look, temp and airflow in these rooms. Cheers STeve Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 13Jul 18, 2007 11:54 am pretty impressive pricing EcoClassic.
Do you have a list of thermal values on your various styles that you could pm or email ?

Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 15Jul 19, 2007 9:40 am Hi Casa,
Here are our NATA results for a 4 lite awning: EcoTech Aluminium 5mm Float, 10mm Air, 5mm Float 2.731 EcoTech Aluminium 5mm Low-E, 10mm Argon, 5mm Float 1.969 EcoPlus uPVC 4mm Float, 12mm Air, 4mm Float 2.226 EcoPlus uPVC 4mm Low-E, 12mm Argon, 4mm Float 1.624 These are the Uw values of the standard windows as sold. Kind regards, Andrew Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 16Jul 19, 2007 1:00 pm Thanks Andrew,
Very impressive Uw values. My target was below 3 W/m2.K, but it looks like I'll be able to achieve below 2, which is great. A couple of questions; 1) How long does it take for the Argon to leak out? 2) Is it relatively cheap and easy to "recharge" the argon? 3) How big is a 4 lite awning? Thanks and cheers, Casa Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 17Jul 19, 2007 4:11 pm Casa
if you visit the attached web site http://www.wers.net/ you can download a number of window companies data. This data is being updated and i believe the Uw rating will change . Just be aware of the this. I am unsure of the timing! its quite easy to get a U value under 3 and by spending a few extra dollars under 2. Just do a payback on the extra cost vs the saving on heating & cooling (plus a factor for how much you value comfort). If you dont get an answer from Eco re the argon i will look into for you All the best ducky quack quack Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 18Jul 23, 2007 7:57 am The windows as tested are 2314 mm High x 1810 mm Wide.
With respect to the argon gas - Numerous studies show that gas typically leaks out less than 1% per year. Over twenty years the window will still have 80% of the gas still trapped inside it. Recharging argon is not generally done to my knowledge. As a glazier would have to deglaze the pane, repair or replace the seal, and refill with argon. It is just cheaper to get a new glass unit. Of course one added advantage of double glazed units is that if a pane is broken, the house is still sealed from the weather - & you may not need to call a glazier till a more convenient time. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Andrew "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when you’re happy we are happy.

Can you please have a look at this post on my blog:http://building-our-first-house.blogspot.com/2007/07/tips010-possible-issue-with-large.html Just like to confirm if what the Bradnams sales said was true: 1. FSSF windows always leaks and it's not recommended for external facing window 2. 80-90% of the cost of windows is in labour, only very little is in the material. Thanks Re: Prices, Prices and Prices 20Jul 29, 2007 11:33 pm From your Blog...
Quote: "FSSF" windows leaks, it is not recommended to be installed unless it's for internal windows (e.g. inside house facing alfresco) -> how many house would have internal windows? And how come this wasn't mentioned in the brochure? Around 80 - 90% of the windows cost is in labour, the material only cost very little Reason for the high cost is, they are actually installing 2 smaller windows (1 in "FS" and the other in "SF") to achieve the same result The window you require may well not be rated for your home's wind rating. Perhaps the SFS and the smaller one SF + FS achieve the required rating, but FSSF does not. What is the wind rating for your home (it should be on your plans)? What is the wind rating for the window you want? (ring Bradnams and ask). For certain you don't want a leaking window. Most homes are in locations rated N1 or N2 and all windows should meet this (N4 & N5 being at the high end of the scale). Fact. Material prices for major window manufacturers are close to 50% of the window price for builders. (in the range 45% - 55%). But I would doubt a sales guy would know this. So in summary the price difference should be minor. Ed If I write "I" please read "We"! Be good.
