| 2 | as an idea just had a quote for new insert aluminium windows into my old 3 bedroom house with timber frames. Quote was $22,000 that was for 13 windows new front door and a set of french doors. UPVC was going to cost $30,000 and if i just had the timber frames routed out and double glazed glass units put in $16,000 ba.falcon - 2021-06-04 19:53:00 |
| 3 | ba.falcon wrote: what is UPVC. i have 18 windows not including the sunroom with 4 huge windows and 2 doors i assume more than your quote. i have wooden frames too and was wanting to get all aluminum frames with double glazing so going by your quotes and my extra windows probably for me $25,000 odd. wonder if it adds much value to the house otagogirl3 - 2021-06-04 20:15:00 |

I strongly suggest that you do NOT get rid of your wooden window frames! Wood is a really good inhibitor of cold. Metal conducts cold into your house! Double glazing adds heaps to the value of a house and in this day and age attracts more buyers if you're selling. hazelnut2 - 2021-06-04 21:21:00 |
| 5 | Approx $40.000. gilligee - 2021-06-04 21:25:00 |

| 8 | Otagogirl3. Windows are quite straight forward but doors are more expensive as time consuming depending on size and complication. gilligee - 2021-06-04 22:25:00 |
| 9 | We have recently replaced old wooden single glazed frames in Dunedin with new privacy tinted UPVC double glazing and they are amazing. They are much better than aluminium and the house looks and feels amazing.We believe it has added value to the property as well as keeping it a lot warmer. lovelurking - 2021-06-05 01:27:00 |

| 16 | I’ve found the bill for you otagogirl. (We did not do any work on the kitchen or bathroom. The previous owner had updated (?) it but we will UPVC that ASAP when money allows.) lovelurking - 2021-06-05 09:11:00 |

| 18 | Installed in February this year, started the order process in November last year. Had a wait time and of course Christmas and New Year break and paid in instalments as the job progressed with final payment of $3,510.00 on completion (so it didn’t hurt as much as getting a big bill!) The company we used is “Weathertight Windows & Doors Ltd T/A UPVC Windows & Doors, PS. Another plus I forgot to mention is the sound proofing, Makes for a much better nights sleep... lovelurking - 2021-06-05 10:12:00 |
| 19 | lovelurking wrote: again thank you so much really appreciate it. on the services here on trade me there is a company here in chch that sells them or similar but in white only and certain of the shelf sizes and just delivers not install. i want someone that does everything start to finish, i dont want white and i have allsorts size windows. thanks otagogirl3 - 2021-06-05 10:22:00 |
| 20 | These guys arrange the whole job from start to finish and build and price each window to the measurements. There are plenty of options re colour and the wood look. lovelurking - 2021-06-05 10:45:00 |
| 21 | Just remeber there is not many plastics that will last 20 years in the NZ conditions . Just look at Marley for instance !! Also I have heard about PVC windows installed near chch in the late 90's that have already had to be replaced on a group housing project . martin11 - 2021-06-05 11:11:00 |

I’ve done some sums... I have a second hand 2019 vehicle that cost $35,000. Bet it doesn’t last for 20 years and that it will decrease in value. lovelurking - 2021-06-05 14:13:00 |

| 24 | If loss of heat through windows is a problem then there are UV films, sun blinds and heavy drapes. Having replaced wooden windows with aluminiun inserts was a great painting saver but we weren't going to fork out tens of thousands again for double glazing. DG isn't a cure all for condensation and the air tightness within the glass will eventually break down. bryshaw - 2021-06-06 18:09:00 |
| 25 | I know nothing about these folks but they are in ChCh. smyrnia - 2021-06-07 11:51:00 |
| 26 | found this. comparing UPVC and aluminium. I guess plastics weren't around for long enough to know how much exactly they will past, but NZ sun destroys it at a higher rate, probably... I guess the question is-are you going to live in that house for the rest of your life or are you planning to sell eventually? a more longterm solution might be better for a lifelong house... Anyway, I thought I'd share pros and cons : https://www.eygwindows.co.uk/lifestyle-blog/aluminium-window evoalg - 2021-06-07 12:47:00 |

Yes that why we got upvc - i've seen old houses with wooden frames do in the street - and you can't tell its upvc except I recognize the drainage holes as we have the same brand. Double galzed Al windows will be a disappointment unless its thermally broken alumnimum -which will probably be more expensive than UPVC . If you get the non-broken frames you'll just end up with cold wet frames rather than cold wet windows - still cold and wet lissie - 2021-06-07 13:18:00 |

We have standard alloy frames with D/G and donot get condensation on either the frames or the glass . martin11 - 2021-06-07 13:29:00 |
