We now have a lorry-load of very beautiful Ecopassiv windows, most of which are being stored in the lounge of our rented house due to lack of suitable storage space on site.
The lead time on making and shipping these high-tech windows was less than we had anticipated. Anyway, it's nice to know they are being kept warm, dry and clean until the builders are ready to install them.
Handy hint - if you do refurbish a house and rent somewhere to live while you are doing it, get somewhere big. The place that we are renting is twice the size of the house we are refurbishing - and the extra space has proved most useful.
The other handy hint - these triple glazed windows are heavy - 40kg per square metre. We had the good fortune to know someone with a handy warehouse and forklift for unloading the windows, and then used their lorry with tail lift to bring the windows to our rented house. Unloading these from a curtain-sider in our fairly narrow street would have been a nightmare.
