Aluminium Windows and door

[colin7777]

Hi All,

Currently our timber frame company has included ali-clad Rationel windows and door, but they do mot supply the patio doors that we like so trying to find aluminium windows and door at a sensible price. So far had one quote and they are 50% dearer than Rationel.

I thought aluminium windows would be slightly lower price than ali-clad, have I got this wrong.

Thanks

Colin

What is it about them that Rationel cannot supply?

 

Are they lift and slide? I don't think Rationel do them.

We are looking at slide and turn doors, but would just like so see what aluminium windows are available

I had to Google that, I didn't know what they were. It appears that they are quite a specialised product so I wouldn't be surprised that they are expensive.

 

Your alternative is probably to change the style of doors. We have Rationel windows and where we have large openings we have side lights plus French doors. This allows a maximum opening of 2.2m in a larger glass wall. Not the same as slide and turn or bifold but I decided it was a lot cheaper and less likely to break.

We have found a supplier for the doors, it is aluminium windows we are looking for as the company only provides doors.

 

Just trying to find full aluminium windows rather than ali-clad
