"External Beaded windows are past their best and fail most energy tests
I would definitely consider full replacement to reap the rewards of a better look and lower heating bills"

"Assuming your windows are timber, one option would be to remove a small profile section and take to your local timber merchants to see if they can replicate this for you.

I hope this helps
