Looks great! Defo wish I had been able to go Velfac but maybe the difference isn’t as much as I think.

Yeah I found Velfac to be not that much more expensive than a lot of mid-range alu windows, maybe ~20% difference after discounts. I pretended to be an architect to get almost £2K off the total quote, and ordered via our builder so it was VAT-free.
The triple-glazing, clear-lacquered timber frame and flippy reversible opening mechanism (so all windows can be cleaned from indoors) are all well worth the extra imo, as well as the large choice of internal and external RAL colours at no extra cost.

PS this is the welded alu apex trim piece, part of the alu coping that follows the sawtooth roofline as promised:
ectoplasmosis
Windows (finally) in! Huge relief that my measurements worked out, and that I managed to get the single-sash one sized and positioned the way it is. Had less than 10mm spare in the bottom left corner.
Porridge splatter pointing has been raked out, ready to be re-done properly using the correct tint of lime mortar, not tippex-white this time…
