Hi all,

Any advice on the cheapest place to buy this from please? It seems to come in approx 3m lengths but I need about 4m in total so am going to have quite a bit left over which I could do without!

I know Wickes sell it, but B&Q and Screwfix don't, so haven't a clue where else to look to price compare.

Thanks for any advice :)

    Most lengths of p.v.c. boards are 5m so you would only have 1m left, shouldn't be too pricey as it's only capping board.

    Personally i hate the look of uPVC windowboards plus when you've scratched them badly there's not much you can do about it except replace. I'd stick to a Wickes' MDF windowboard and paint it as the end result looks much classier - though you'll need some basic woodwork skills to cut it to shape.

    Thanks for the replies so far - although I can't be doing with painting them Andrew - after renovating the whole house and having a new extension fitted I'm all painted out!

    I just want the upvc(for the new extension windows) cos it will match the existing windows and conservatory sills and is less hassle IMO! :)

    Any advice on actual names of other suppliers/retailers still welcomed though :)
