    worth keeping an eye on Door Store display models - I got mine last year - triple glazed with two full glass sife panels for £140 all in!!

    Ask them when they change the stock - you never know what they might have!!

    Guy in Balloo industrial estate Bangor makes them for the trade but will sell to end users .... can't remember his name but he's next to Ards Kitchens (Turn off before the new dump)
    HHI quote me £550+
    B&Q for an "off the shelf" door £400+
    His bespoke design (fancy floral leaded glass panel) c/w locks etc... £300

    I'd be interested in this - does he fit them also?

    Edit: Is this the place?

    Yes he can fit for you & not 100% shure if its called Scenic Windows as he's no signage on the unit but it is joined onto Ards Kitchen Centre

    B&Q at Hollywood Exchange have a section between the entrance and the Garden center where they sell clearence stock, they had some PVC dorrs in that last time I was there. Have a look there might be something to suit you.
