  • B-rated windows vs triple glazing

    Are B rated windows more energy efficient than triple glazing or double glazing? How do the energy ratings of A, B, A++ etc. compare with double and triple glazing? Are they comparable as such? I guess I want to know at what points the energy rating of a window (whether it be A or B) surpasses the efficiency of triple glazing, if at all?

    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed?

    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed at the front of my converted loft space (thus facing out from the front of the property at the top)? Will I need special approval for this? I want to change the style of the window of course but also the shape to a sword-tip shape like that of a cathedral. I want it to be colourful and to feature an in-depth design.
