We have replaced some of our aluminium windows with double glazed PVC ones to help keep out the traffic noise and I would like to know if we can do something with the remaining aluminium ones that will allow us match them up with the PVC ones that are white?

I hope you can help me with my problem. I have four smoke glass mirrors floor to ceiling. I have found it impossible to keep them clean. The room is south facing and when the sun shines in, the smears and streaks appear all over the mirrors. I have used every product on the market for the purpose of cleaning glass and mirrors and none of them have worked for me. Hot water and vinegar and newspaper were also useless. I would consider covering the mirrors with sheets of narrow plywood if there was a way of attaching them to the mirrors which act as sliding doors?»
Without seeing the doors in reality it is difficult to say how effective the attachment of plywood ...

I have two cane armchairs plus two matching footstools. There were painted green when we bought them some years ago. As they are very good quality and were quite expensive it would be out of the question to discard them. Could you please tell me if I could have them sprayed professionally to another colour - preferably something brown or is there some easy way I could do it myself?»
There are a few companies who carry out spraying and you would find them on the Internet or in the ...
