Not sure that sash windows are robust enough to be converted to doors.

The woodwork and joints are meant for gliding up and down in a fixed rail (the ?box?) whereas doors move, bear weight at the hinge and get slammed.

Also the glass in a sash window is probably not a robust enough grade to support slamming of a door, etc.

Read it and thought...

REALLY ?

first thing would be the size

Then appearance

Then labour cost

It's a lot of work

Then I thought...

If you use the glass and build a different frame ....

Interesting

Then still time and labour cost

Cost of wood

Fittings ...

Still looks like ?300

........

Recycling and save the planet reason only

Cos it's not economical

Doable

Expensive

Impractical

And if used as front door then easy to break through

Or if secure enough then even more ?'s to spend

Is this really worth it ?

So let's go back to the original question I e asked myself ...

"REALLY " OR my next thought

"WHY" ?

    • I saw something on the news about blocks of flats / conersions (?)where it's not possible to fit individual meters
    • My water bill halved when I requested and  got a water meter. There have been threads on the forum about this before, if you do a search. Households  pay for gas and electricity according to what they use, so surely it is fair that water is the same? Single people and smaller households could say that it was unfair under the old system, because  they were subsidising families and larger households who were using a lot more water than they were! If you didn't request a meter, and you think other people in the road haven't got one, haven't you asked Thames Water why they installed one at your house?
    • We had a meter installed last year. This wasn't requested and I assumed they would fit them for everyone on our road. However, it appears not everyone has a meter. Our bills have increased so I wanted advice. Everything I've read online suggests TW are legally entitled to fit water meters. However, surely they have to do this fairly and for all residents on one road, working through the area? Can't believe our bills are going to increase so astronomically. Surely this is penalising families or larger households.
