we are having some installed tomorrow. Granada units installed by SE Glazing, they were the slimmest we could find and are not having the wooden subframes, powder coated RAL anthracite (matching our Crittall windows)and with Pilkington Low-E glass. 5 windows, one of which is 5 pane horizontal slider 4.9m wide another a corner lift out with opening sash, rest are 3 pane sliding horizontals to match existing mullions. think it was £7k all in.
you have to get googling for the glass spec as there are many options in coatings/stadep sound laminated and widths etc.
The factory in Sheffield were very helpful and sent me some extrusions of the frame so we could work out where to install them and allowing the centre tilt windows to fully rotate without hitting the frames.
I guess i’ll update tomorrow...
Mr_Smyth-
Oh good luck with the install! I like the sound of no subframes mind.
@TTM happy to share what I find, should be getting quotes for a couple of options back from Storm this week.
The Clearview site has an impressive quote builder I'd recommend having a play with. https://clearviewsg.co.uk/

This is probably too late to be useful (sorry), but I just received a quote for £8k (supply only) to replace all our single glazing panes: 1 bay, 6 sashes and 2 casement loft windows with vacuum double-glazing.
I thought that represented good value? The panes are only 8mm thick but outperform triple glazing: U-Value below 0.5 and sound reduction of 40 dB.

Would be really interested in seeing a pic of this and a writeup of your experience when done.

Does anyone have any experience with secondary glazing?
We're gonna get some this Autumn but I'm finding it difficult to work out which is the best option between glass and plastic.
Can't seem to find an impartial source for which has the lower u value. Glass sellers say glass does, and vice versa with plastic sellers.
