double glazed windows

[what..the?]

Are windows that open two ways(sideways and tilt) fairly standard now? I am having a renovation and extension done to my property and in the renovation price are new windows. I don't seem to able to specify much about the windows I want, as they are already on the building plans and I haven't give it too much thought till now. But it seems they are just the basic left and right opening ones when I would actually like move movements. And when I mentioned them locking in an open position to allow ventilation when out the house the builder said this is extra, is this not an in built standard feature these days.

Thanks in advance

Tilt and turn is slightly more expensive - just had my house done.

thats my opinion as well.
What about 'trickle vents' instead?

I had DG windows fitted 15 years ago and they were standard fitted with what was known as a night lock which is the same as what you would get with any double glazing company. do you think your builder is buying the cheap sort of DG windows if i was you i would get a quote from a DG company for the windows just to see how much they charge to what your builder is charging.

Not standard, you will have to pay extra.

building works going ok but they stripped the roof when the loft steels hadn't arrived and it has been now 3 weeks due to steel delay the entire house has been exposed in all sorts of weather. They didn't put an over roof over, or cover the house with basic tarpaulin, they said there was no way they could cover it, so they are instead leaving exposed and when water tight again using industrial dehumidifiers. The house is being fairly well stripped out but it will still effect the house and mean it takes time before it drys out to allow the dry lining to be fitted. They said anything damaged by the rain will be fixed I just hope my project manager does his job and finds any damage. Assuming the original floor boards are damaged and bowed, they don't seem to want to replace them for same and want to put chip board down, my project manger supports them.
