Now It's 0.3mm Gap For Double Glazing. It beats all the rest

Kalwanu Constructions - Experiences

Did you visit any of their existing builds and speak to some of their current clients beforehand?

How hot/cold does a sunroom get?

Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)? If the sun hits a window directly it doesn't matter too much if it's double or…

I think the master needs a re-think. Could you have a narrow study (1.8 - 2m deep) before you walk into the room with a window opposite? Just think it…

That's one of the problems with ducted. I don't think you have much of an option.

Building with Dechellis homes

It's Russian roulette with a volume builder and your chances of things going wrong are much higher given their business models are built on doing everything as cheap as possible.

Building with Dechellis homes

Volume builders aren't going to magically change their practices and become good.

Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have…

We've had lots of delays and still haven't started the build yet unfortunately! We're using Deceuninck upvc windows. They're tilt and turn with U values of 1.86. The SHGC varied…
