Thanks for that info Andrew. Its been a few years since I did mine, but
when
the first window fails in the upstairs, I will elect to remove the frame
and
fit internal glazing. Reason being, I'm 58 this year and I don't fancy
balancing on a ladder again while I fit an external glazing unit :-((((

As to the larger section of PVC frame, I can stand that, as the windows
are
not that small to have much effect on this aspect.

If internally glazed windows also use window tapes (I don't know
if they do, but I suspect so), then you will need access to the
outside to cut it out. Of course, one way to get access to the
outside from the inside would be to smash the window and work
through the opening ;-)

LOL

I don't mind going up the ladder, if it is without a large double glazing
unit in my hand.
Last time I did this, my son helped me. He was on one ladder and I was on
another. Not something to look forward to :-(
I have never felt so vulnerable in all my life, hence the internal glazing
when they fail. Windows are cheap when considering your life.
