What to do with my Crittal windows

EggMella

Hi all I've just stripped out my cold, slighty rusted Crittal windows and I'm wondering what to do with them.... Should I just be chucking these in a skip and forgetting about them?

If you'd just watched Grand Designs on C4, you'd see that they look great if they are sand blasted, restored and put back in.

Otherwise, just stick them on E bay.

Amys

or freecycle them

Yes... I did see that, did they mention what they'd done about the fact that they were a bad source of heat loss?

It was a listed building so they could not get rid of them and neither should they, and I might question if you should have as well, if they were orignals.

They installed internal shutters and curtains were mentioned but I did not see them. another option in internal secondary glazing.

Offer them to a Archtectural Salvage yard they may pay for them or just give them to them and they will get reused.

Question away, I'm sure they were but this was a 1930s building with no listing so ripping them out was fine..... I'll try a salvage yard.

I've just taken some crittel windows out too. A friend suggested I make a cold frame for my plants so I'm going to have a go.
