    Thanks Mr Edge...

    That's detailed enough for me....:)
    More importantly, it may allow people here make decisions based on now knowing (in your case anyway) what is actually done and what you get for your money...

    thanks again

    I've heard of a couple of people who installed triple glazing (not sure what else they may have had done because I heard this 3rd hand) but all the wood in the house warped because of the dry air in the house. One couple went on holidays for a week and came home to find the dining table had split in two.

    Has anyone else heard of this happening? Could triple glazing alone be responsible for this? :confused:

    Timbers warping is due to inadequate ventilation, not anything to do with windows.

    Sounds like a newly built house that hadnt been allowed to dry out properly yet, and they went off without thinking about allowing constant ventilation to aid the drying out process while still having the heat turned up high.
