Double Glazing - Spectus Elite 70 v Profile 22

HTFCacc2012

Hello

I am a first time poster under this account though I have been lurking for the forums for a very long time!

I moved into my house last year and the winter has convinced me that we need to get our single glazed windows replaced. I've had 3 quotes which are all fair (except for Everest who I am disregarding due to price).

The other 2 are local firms both of whom we know their workmanship is very good. However they use very different types of frames therefore the quote is very different. The quotes are -

Spectus elite 70 - grade a glass - £7.900
Profile 22 - grade a glass and frame with compsite door - £12,000

Does anyone have any information on either frame such that I can make an informed choice?

Thanks

Nothing wrong with either profile, as long as you get A rated glass and a decent fitting team.

profile 22 is better although i think the price you have been quoted is high

Thank you both kindly for your help! Still struggling to think what to do so going to take some time to think

Looks expensive to me too. How big is the house? How many windows/doors is it for?

See my post about my recent experience!! Don't trust them to do it properly, check on everything and don't pay them anything until you are completely satisfied. I consider myself pretty savvy about things but my fitter/supplier has been a nightmare. Best of luck.

We are in a four bed cottage in the Worcestershire area. We have a total of 2 doors and 15 other windows of varying sizes. I appreciate as they aren't standard sizes the cost will be more but I am trying to get an accurate quote.

Dave thanks for your comment, I will take your experience on board!
