New windows for cottage

[Dusty]

Hi all

 

Could anyone please recommend a fairly local supplier of good quality non wood windows for an old cottage I am renovating in Nottinghamshire? I am looking for  maintenance free windows which look as close to original wood flush casements as possible. I am very impressed by the look of the Residents Windows collection but have read lots of negative reviews regarding the quality of their products so now looking at other options if possible.

 

Many thanks.

Are you looking coloured or white uPVC...? or Aluclad..?

 

Budget...??

I've got the residence R9 windows, wood effect upvc and am very pleased.

They are expensive against the cost of ordinary upvc though

I'll probably be using the R9 windows too, what negatives have you heard about them as I think they look fantastic even up close

Due to planning restrictions 

I installed these sash windows 

 Zero maintenance 

and they look in keeping with next doors timber sash

Thanks for responding guys.

 

In terms of budget I was looking at prices comparable to made to measure timber windows, however I am prepared to pay more if I can achieve what I want. 

I am happy to look at aluminium and UPVC etc

I agree the R9 windows look great but I have read some poor reviews on Google and Facebook so just seeing what is out there as an alternative. Someone said Veka did some similar windows at a good price.

Nod - those windows look interesting. Who manufactured those for you please?

 

Thanks

Before choosing R9 I looked at many different upvc windows veka were about £14k and R9 about £19k.

Veka didn't look as good or hAve the detailing.

Not sure which poor reviews you have seen, but with any windows there can be problems, particularly with fitting, these are particularly important to fit correctly so you really want a firm that has a number of houses to show you and experience of working with this product
