        I know.

        However, if you own a cultural heritage building, the c.h. office has a lot of saying about each and every modification done, especially on the outside, so I doubt it’s due to financial issues.

          This mess is because the planning authorities rejected more subtle additions and insisted on something that is distinct from the original building, which is what they got.

      Because though uPVC windows lack the myriad advantages of wood or stone frames, sometimes it is better for the ongoing fabric of a building to just get it weatherproof until someone comes along who can afford to put in more suitable replacements.

      Then white uPVC frames are much cheaper than coloured versions.

      Can’t speak for the baby blue.
