with reference to this quote 'all the windows came from the same manufacturers as anglian '
Anglian makes their own window's from scratch unlike most local companies who buy their windows in and anglian do not make window's for other companies.

As far as the product is concerned it is at the top end of the market not all upvc window's are the same but however good the product is alot of it is down to the how good the fitter's are.
hope this help's

That was certainly true 25 years ago. In the early 1980’s I worked for Hoechst selling plastic raw materials to industry and Anglian were a potential client for our PVC. I think the owner was called George Williams and his factory and home base was near Norwich. He made all his own windows and did not supply anyone else. I invited him to Frankfurt to see our PVC production facilities and visit some German reference sites. He agreed to go but insisted we travel in his private jet which was fun though we never got much business from him. At the time they were certainly producing some of the best quality windows around and that is one of the reasons why I chose Anglian when I did my own house, a decision I never regretted. Another key reason was that I liked the profile of their window frames which closely emulated traditional wooden frames. The double glazing units were also high quality and we have not had a single failure nor any condensation between the two panes

I chose them again for an extension 5 years later and again was absolutely delighted with the result. High quality windows professionally installed that still look almost new many years later.

I’m well out of date now but I would not be surprised if Anglian are still at the top of the tree as far as quality is concerned.

Of course so much still depends on the local fitters but Anglian would certainly be on my shortlist if I ever needed windows again.;)
