Double glazed windows still good

We are having an extension built and are taking the opportunity to replace all our windows at the same time. They are double glazed and leaded-lights, all in good condition.

It seems a shame to put them on a skip as they definitely can be used by someone else. Is there a market for such things?

    A very limited market because they are obsolete windows in terms of energy efficiency and current regulations, and they were made to measure your window openings - so they will not fit another home. (within reason - modern housing has standard sizes). Security may be poor, and the glass may not be what people want - yours could be float when folks may want toughened or laminated.

    Somebody might want to build a shed around your window sixes, or use them as a cloche, or green house detail.

    Freecycle could be the way forward.
