Glazing Showdown: Double Glazing vs Single - Our French Renovation, The Good Life

[@charmees6637]

That’s good news your double glazed window has worked a treat in the bathroom 👏

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

It's made a huge difference!

[@nelleg152]

Definitely not steel toe cap slippers 😂❤

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

exactly! :)

[@jennystreet3409]

This is a grimace, not a smile - love it lol

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

There is a lot of grimacing when he wears his work slippers! :)

[@jennystreet3409]

@@ourfrenchrenovation l bet!

[@auntytutu]

The window needed replacing either way right? So you've got a beautiful window with a terrific view and maybe no ice on top of the bath water 🤣. I like to think of you two warm and cozy and smiling with all the improvements you've completed.♥

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you, it is toasty warm in there now :)

[@Tretz624]

I bet, by the time you finish updating this house, you will have improved the value more than 100%! Fantastic!!

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Oh yes definitely :)

[@bish1066]

This is very good news as I am about to have double glazing installed into my 300 year old French farm house.

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

It makes a huge difference!

[@elizabethhatswell5555]

Triple glazed windpws exist too. . Window companies offer them sometimes at no extra cost from double glazing. Triple glazed windows cut down on noise, wind and help with insulation

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you, will look into that for next time :)

[@coletteellerton1840]

Really enjoying you renovating your home 😊

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you :)

[@Tony-Elliott]

Great video again , we also live in France and are building a timber frame straw bale house , so it's great to see what other people are doing on their projects,thanks for sharing your journey

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you :) Now your build sounds like a very interesting project are you going to be filming it?

[@Tony-Elliott]

@@ourfrenchrenovation hi thanks for the interest in our building, we've taken lots of photos along the way but we have not really filmed anything, to be perfectly honest we are normally to to busy working on it to film, it's great to see your progress on you house

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

It does take a lot of time filming when you just want to get stuck in to it. Good luck with your build :)

[@bmhollie]

Another job well done ! nice window too. How amazing + beautiful , the frost pattern was on the old window.. ❤❤

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you. The ice patterns were pure artwork but I prefer them outside not on the inside lol :)

BEST WISHES TO YOU

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you :)

[@doggiesable1]

One word Brave !!

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thanks :)

[@peterwhite9261]

By far, double glaze windows are superior, for sure. Once you insulate the wall and ceiling, you will notice a vast improvement again. With the single glaze, you may as well run to the outhouse in all weather extremes. ❤

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

It's made a huge difference already, very happy with it, just need to change the rest over now!

[@monacnossen4190]

You explain everything very well!

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thank you!

[@MyChateau58]

That is quite impressive! Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

[@petebartlett2229]

One week and we will have these problems!!!! Roll on our move to creuse! Are the windows easy to fit,we have one and a door to replace

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Welcome to the Creuse! Yes, Extremely easy to fit. A doddle. We've done numerous ones now. Leroy Merlin for new ones or check the brocantes as the often have immaculate second hand ones in a ton of sizes. ReMaBat, Maximums, Reclaimation Yard etc... Just remember they are bigger than the size advertised on the web, so add a few centimeters.

[@tracybush8115]

Nice to see the difference in double glazed. That task seemed to go quite easily. Will you guys insulate the ceiling and stud wall before winter? What's on the other side of the bathroom stud wall - a bedroom?

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

We have a couple more jobs to do before we get to insulate the ceiling and stud wall, hopefully this side of Christmas though. Yes it's another bedroom but I have big plans for that room!

[@SindyBoyle]

Great job and good info. Do you need a vent/fan in the bathroom?. I'm only asking because we'd always used just a de-humidifier [DHM] with the single glazing in winter and noticed a negative difference [mould spots] with the double glazing. It was too much trouble for us to go through the outer walls for a fan so a friend with the skill made a vent in the top of the new wood framed DG window [it was a surprisingly easy job]. We manage easily in the summer by opening the window and still use the DHM in the winter when we have a bath. We know a proper vent will do away with the DHM, we just haven't got around to it yet. Maybe [if required] you could rig a ceiling fan up when you do the new ceiling.

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Yes we definitely need an extractor fan now, another job to add to the list lol. Will wheel our DHM in until we get round to the ceiling :)

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

Thanks for watching :)

[@monacnossen4190]

Make the video’s longer please! Don’t you have something to film yourself while you work and show us

[@Helen-uw3pu]

Excellent project to tackle before the winter weather really sets in.

[@ourfrenchrenovation]

We have a few more jobs to get ready for winter!
