Westfalia DG windows

Post by JJJackson »

Hi thinking of changing windows on my Westy to DG units, are any opening DG windows available? Seen new windows on Brickwerks and Gunzl, but not sure about whether any open.

On most westys with double glazing the window behind the kitchen unit opens upwards for when parked up. Sliding double glazed are available second hand but they're rare as hens teeth.

Can the opening kitchen window still be purchased?

I have a double glazed sliding window on mine - it's a non westy, but made in Germany - been told it's a pretty rare window & must admit I've never seen one like it for sale but might be worth having a look on German eBay:

For some reason I read that as the sliding window being haunted! Too much sugar on me pancakes.

No, unfortunately not. These are your options for new ones. Otherwise it's just about keeping your eyes open.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, just to clarify I know the double glazed sliding windows are rocking horse poo to find, I mean't the window that opens outwards on the Joker/Atlantic as the link you sent has hinges seals clips etc, but doesn't state the window is fixed or available opening?

Thanks again James :ok
