Double glazed obviously weighs a fair bit more? Double glazed 20-25 kgs/m2... more for large commercial and laminated.

But should you be having bricks as the outer skin on your house you might like to consider the brickie and all the work he might have to do around each window. In particular you should be spacing the windows to work bricks either from a corner up to the window or between windows. Properly placed windows can save an awful lot of brick cutting. cheers barkly Re: How long does it take to install a window? 8Nov 17, 2011 6:50 am barkly You can of course just insert the window in the framing 'hole', pack it out with spacers etc and the job is done... Once you have checked it's is square & plumb and it is set back to the plaster, and then checked that the sash or door panel operates - if not readjust. Saves a lot of work for the window service guy. Ed "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.
