Post

[Parent post: "Are these windows any good?"] Just bought a house and everyone keeps saying I need new windows but they look okay to me. They all open and close. It’s a little difficult on some but they do work. The sellers painted them to match the house. I personally love them but we haven’t lived in it yet so I can’t say how well they insulate. My husband and dad are insisting we change them now because bugs and dirt and energy efficien --- Those are 1930s metal windows. Unfortunately they are very poor at insulation. Having said that a $40k UPVC window job with a 20 year lifespan is going to make increased comfortable but not necessarily save you money. Are they original to the house?

Summary

The commenter is discussing the age and performance of the windows and asking whether they are original, which suggests some active research but no clear buying intent.

Reasoning

The comment identifies the windows as 1930s metal windows and notes poor insulation, showing awareness of replacement-related issues. However, it does not ask for quotes, pricing, installers, or express a plan to buy, so the intent is moderate rather than high. The final question about originality indicates curiosity and evaluation, not a direct purchase signal.
