    two observations, firstly you must establish what things are important, for instance security, whilst a window needs to be fit for purpose you can get enhanced security recognised by the police, they call the scheme secured by design and have a web site listing companies that offer sdb products,

    Like wise with energy efficiency EST, longevity BBA, and reputation GGF, lots of things to consider, only then can you decide who is offering the best VALUE

    Secondly, nationals are well established and should have systems in place to make sure things don’t go wrong, however when they do, people feel like a number. Local companies may not make the windows and you may feel their product aren’t as good but they do have a local reputation to uphold and are more likely to respond if things go wrong.

    Couldn’t possibly give you advice based upon the sketchy info provided, but please search for other threads as I have listed numerous links for others in your position. Failing that send me a pm and I'll suggest someone

    Buying quality goods which last, should be an investment that saves money. :T
    Buying cheap products which fail, wastes money and costs twice as much in the long run. :mad:
