Substitute windows and doors used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were designed without large enough opening sashes to escape through.
Then they became available in white PVCu which were firstly cheap and of low quality and bad design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house ” not the pocket.
House owners now have a much better choice of door and window materials and styles to choose from.
