Irish say no to PVC windows

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / July 16 2004: Irish say no to PVC windows

The Irish government has put a stop to what it sees as a plague of PVC windows infecting the country's historic building stock. The Irish Planning Board has said that the offending windows may not be used in buildings of "architectural merit", following a landmark ruling that conservationists hope will lead to PVC windows being ripped out all over the Irish Republic. The ruling came after conservationists complained about PVC windows used in the conversion of a Georgian building in Dublin into a pub.
