Not sure that sash windows are robust enough to be converted to doors.

The woodwork and joints are meant for gliding up and down in a fixed rail (the ?box?) whereas doors move, bear weight at the hinge and get slammed.

Also the glass in a sash window is probably not a robust enough grade to support slamming of a door, etc.

Read it and thought...

REALLY ?

first thing would be the size

Then appearance

Then labour cost

It's a lot of work

Then I thought...

If you use the glass and build a different frame ....

Interesting

Then still time and labour cost

Cost of wood

Fittings ...

Still looks like ?300

........

Recycling and save the planet reason only

Cos it's not economical

Doable

Expensive

Impractical

And if used as front door then easy to break through

Or if secure enough then even more ?'s to spend

Is this really worth it ?

So let's go back to the original question I e asked myself ...

"REALLY " OR my next thought

"WHY" ?

    • I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home. 
    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
