Latice Windows HELP!!!!

Hi,

New to the forums, basically I moved into a new house. The issue is all the houses on the street have really nice latices that are simple 1 bar down the middle and two across on each pane. The issue is that my house has double glazing in every window and its a single pane glass on pvc.

My question is does anybody know somewhere that will supply something I could stick on to my windows to make them look and match the rest of the street as I'm not particularly keen to replace perfectly good double glazing and the house looks silly with out them!!!!!

HEEELLPP!!!!!

    I dont think anything would last being stuck on to glass due to the weather condidtions,

    You could look to replacing the actual glass units and not the frames for a fraction of the price try a window manufactuar for this !

    Double glazing companies do make units that have lattice look-alike units between the two panes.

    A small local glazing company might be prepared to separate the units you have, insert the lattice look-alike, and then reseal them for you.

    A company local to me does a resealing service to repair units where the seal has deteriorated, causing condensation between the two panes, so it must be cost-efficient to do that - putting the lattice work inside the panes is just one extra stage on top of that work.
  • Right I think I might have mistyped its not the latice that sits in the frame its the type that makes the window look as if its 6 individual panes. It think it might be fret windows... not sure??

    I know what you mean, in my close there is one house with plain panes, and it does stick out a lot.

    Doesn't seem expensive for enough for simple cross lines. They claim if applied carefully will last a long time, even factory done ones are just glued on anyway.
