    I'm sure they don't supply single glazed upvc units now as they wouldn't comply with Bldg Regs, but nothing to say that they didn't years ago.

    But when...? Sealed units were the standard in tuppyframes back in the 1980s.

    I don't think I've ever seen a tuppyframe with single glazing.

    Would we could all afford period hardwood frames nay, Elizabethan leaded lights... And the energy bills associated therewith.

    I have, but very rare. Probably the last was at least 15 yrs ago. Any replacement after 2002 needed to be double glazing to meet Bldg Regs, but no minimum requirements before this.

    And it wasn't until 1995 Bldg Regs that double glazing was the minimum for new build homes - our current house built in 1989 was built with single glazed timber framed windows, and some houses on our estate still have their original windows.

    Just a couple from a different forum:
