KidKruger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/255341-no-longer-needed/#findComment-1427867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich handy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 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" ?
