thread_title:  Nice Ignite talk about sash windows in Dublin 

message: The window in Vermeer's painting seems to be a casement window fitted with leaded panes.  Can anyone spot anything in it which is particularly characteristic of a sliding sash?  This may explain the apparent inconsistencies of date with the painting and what is known about the emergence of sash windows in the late 1660s early 1670s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.40.94 (talk) 14:26, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Early wooden sash windows were fixed or hinged like casements. This sash window in Vermeer's Milkmaid doesn't look like a typical leaded casement which usually were small and had diamond shaped panes. This is not a double-hung sash window either. There is no sign of any hardware. So, all you can assume is that this was a fixed sash or a casement sash window. But, it certainly is a sash window. Tomticker5 (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

message: What does Glaze mean in this context?  Mention is made regarding a "glazed window" on top.  Is the bottom window not glazed?  What is it to be glazed? 99.133.156.232 (talk) 04:45, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It means there's glass there. Do you mean "double-glazed window", maybe without the hyphen? See Insulated glazing. --Thnidu (talk) 05:20, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

message: The refs you've added to the first and last sentences of the last paragraph are quite good, but there are still several significant statements within the paragraph that lack attribution. These include "more than 50% of all window sashes being made of vinyl in the USA as of 2017", "the plasticizer chemicals used to make vinyl sashes flexible evaporate leaving the material brittle and prone to breaking", and the sentences mentioning "weaker than wood and aluminum", "requires extra support", and "outside cladding". I'm sure that these are accurate and that you got them from reliable sources, but we need refs to those sources. --Thnidu (talk) 02:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  uPVC / vinyl sash windows 

message: The paragraph that starts with "uPVC or vinyl sash windows..." in the Issues section initially equates uPVC and vinyl, and then switches to using vinyl as the description. Throughout the paragraph it confuses vinyl, PVC and uPVC. In particular, it refers to "plastic" and "plasticizer" in reference to vinyl windows. This is inaccurate. Vinyl windows are the same as uPVC. uPVC is unplasticized PVC, therefore referring to it as plastic or the use of plasticizers is misleading.
Given that a large part of this paragraph highlights weaknesses of plastics and plasticizers while describing uPVC/vinyl windows that are unplasticized, the result is that the paragraph is largely inaccurate.

replies: text: In the context of window frames, PVC, vinyl, plastic, uPVC and PVC-U are all synonyms. The plastic in plastic windows is unplasticised, i.e. rigid rather than flexible. Terminology could probably be tidied up, but there's no contradiction here. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:00, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
