Rehau vs Eurocell Double Glazing - Advice please?

niktheguru

Hey guys, i'm looking at getting my windows redone. I have asked for a few quotes and have narrowed it down to two.
I just wanted to ask what people thought of Rehau windows vs Eurocell windows.
I'm looking at getting casement windows, double glazed with grey on outside and white on inside.
Having done a search there isn't a huge amount on a comparison between the two, and forum threads tend to be over 10yrs old.
Currently my rehau quote is about 1k cheaper than the eurocell quote.
Both are champfered finish, argon gas double glazing. rehau is A rated, eurocell A+.

Any advice appreciated, or are they much of a muchness?
Thanks guys.

The windows I've had replaced to date have all been Rehau profiles. No complaints.

It is the fitting that makes the biggest difference - A well fitted window that is sealed properly is going to be much better than one just "bunged in" without paying attention to detail. That aside, the difference between an A rated frame and an A+ is pretty academic - You will lose much more heat through the glass than the frame.

Agree with FreeBear, fitting makes all the difference. Ensure fitter seals between frame and wall and adds beading.
I have had both Rehau and Eurocell both pretty much the same.

Thanks for your advice guys. Think i'm gonna go with the cheaper quote with rehau frames. Can't ignore a £1400 difference. both companies reviews are very good.

Both have different types of profile on the market I fit rehau and 2 types of eurocell depending who I fit for and who supplies me . Go for the cheaper option on fames alone but free bear hits the nail . The better fitted window will be the best in the long run

Just some feedback. I ended up going for the Rehau 70c frames. Very happy with them. Look great, fitted well and far far superior to my old crappy double glazed windows!

I like eurocell . there are a few different standards but as above . Fitted properly makes a bigger difference than most frames . I cant fit tosh frames ,being a registered installer I have to reach a standard for the customer to get their certificate . Check its reinforced . check they have a good local reputation and submit the installation  & check they offer a 10yr guarantee minimum . Certass or fensa type of body a bonus just as backup

Reassuring! That's what I'm going with.
