Which wiindow manufacturer

Anyone have much knowledge about which windows manufacturer is reliable and makes the best windows?  Just want supply only, we will fit them ourselves.  Looking for Flush Casement, 44mm Triple-glazed with Georgian Astragal bars.

I was thinking about Duraflex but that doesn't seem to be working out particularly well.  Their catalogue is contradictory, at one point it suggests that their flush sash only takes up to 36mm glazing while elsewhere on the same page mentions glazing up to 44mm option.  As the local Fabricator I have spoken to doesn't supply their Flush windows as they are considered to be a 'failed system' which don't work well.

Why dont you leave it to the experts?

And that fabricator has'nt got a clue what he's talking about.

I don't know about the style you are after but we have Rehau and fitted them ourselves, absolutely delighted with them.

Unfortunately Rehau Flush-fit only gooes up to 34mm, not the 44mm triple-glazed.

Apparently the 44mm units can be fitted to the flush-fit sash but the bead sticks out a bit and dificult for the installers to fit so not many fabricators willing to supply that.

youre asking a lot with 44 mm triple . back to back spacer x2 and astragle bar clips around a tiny bead . I wouldn't fancy glazing it . try residence9 (R9) they do 44mm triple and are flush casement . I wouldn't know who is good with choices . I haven't done much 44mm triple to make any comparison . think ive fitted R9 R7 and veka , graff welds on R9 were the best

Why do you want tripple glazed?

Better thermal insulation.  Probably only going to do the job once, these windows will see me out and intending eventually to do the whole house in similar.
