Window replacement

[bumblefish]

OK, I think I know what I am doing with the batteries (new box lid and strapping) and gas (chuck it all out and get an Origo), now the windows. Apparently they are all leaking. I thought I would have them all out, replace the old glass, shattered in a couple, with plexiglass or polycarbonate and then re-bed them. Does that sound right and if so any recommended suppliers for plexiglass, polycabonate or similar?

They can supply sealants, fixings etc as well as plastic. They're helpful on the phone, and quick to ship. Check out their datasheets as well.

We have a company that we are using at present, in Canterbury so not too far for you. Gordon Engraving 01227 766229.

They are happy to make up reproductions of existing glazing in poly or perspex. We are fitting a window to a Colvic, 3ftx2ft, the polycarbonate is going to be about 60 quid cut and drilled.

Ensure you use the correct sealant for polycarbonate. Sika do one specifically. Solvent based sealants cause stress corrosion cracking within a few days.
