  • What are folks thoughts on windows? My house needs doing throughout - Is there much difference between brands? Had a couple round and they all say the same “ours are are mint, everything else is terrible” Not tying to cut corners but also don’t want to have my pants pulled down

  • Massive difference. Don’t get shitty british double glazing.

    Velfac/Rationel/IdealCombi/Nordan if you’re feeling flush.

    Klar/Eurostyl for big bang for buck.

  • I wouldn’t discount uk products, they are not all shit.
    Had Platinum NRG upvc triple fitted at my old place and looked at some aluminium before the Dulwich Estate said the Crittall had to stay.
    25k for rationel 14k for Aluk / Reynaers with pilkington K glass. There’s a few UK manufacturers making their own extrusions, lots of info at aluminiumtradesupply website.
    There’s a lot of mediocre upvc out there.

  • We got Everest upvc sash windows about 3 years ago and they've been grand. They even replaced the trim around a massive bay window in our bedroom after our builder unceremoniously ripped it all off, thinking they could just get any old shit and stick it on. Did that free of charge. Also, now is a good time to get quotes as every sales person will be trying to hit their number. We got our quote around this time of year and it was less than half of RRP (and cheaper then a few local places) in the end.
