Jas142 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Evening/morning and afternoon. hey guys just after your thoughts really on what 30k should/could get me with internorm. I’m only after Alu clad upvc due to the pine not really matching the feel of the house. I’ve had a quote for £28k for around 48m2 of glass. This doesn’t include a front door or rear but it does include three of their special Juliet balconies which I love and two lift and slides at 4metres wide. Part of me thinks this is a fair deal but is there some of you that think I could do better due to the fact it is mainly upvc after all. thanks jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I love those windows, have had nine for over ten years, no problems, fantastic quality. I can’t cope with plastic and have larch, the wood is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We have the aluclad with wood inside but our son next door has the UVPC ones and they are great- he wanted grey interiors anyhow. Our fitters were totally crap ( dont use Ecohouse internorn or if you do contact us about which fitters to avoid ! ) Do check with the JUliet balcony about the window cill. Internorn said there shoudl not have been a window cill as its a door! But a door no one walks through. If we had not fitted the cills ourselves the water would have been running down behind the render . Another thing if there are large gaps above the big sliders then dont fill with expanding foam - we did this and it warped the door so its hard to open even though we dug all the foam out . One question I had about windows is how do you get the sucker marks off the outside? Before the scaffolding went we spent ages washing the windows and they looked ok but as soon as there is any outside condensation you can still see the sucker rings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanneja Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 @Red Kite that remark on the suckers is a little alarming, we have just had our internorm install and they are fairly prominent. You have focused me on getting them clean before the scaffolding is down. Maybe car windshield polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas142 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks for the advice guys appreciate it. Specially in regards to the Juliet balconies as there are three of them. The main reason for not going with wood is purely because the top half of the house will be clad in Siberian larch that will turn grey and I just think the wood isn’t necessary. Would be the only colour in the house not to match anything so I would rather spend the money I save else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas142 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Oh and for the marks from the suckers I tend to use a upvc solvent cleaner and that should after a couple of cleans remove these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanneja Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 @Jas142 I have alud clad upvc, as best you know, would that solvent be of any risk to the alu cladding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas142 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Not unless you have sucker marks on the aluminium. ? Just have a bucket of fresh water at the ready if your worried but upvc cleaner is the only method we found of removing sucker marks. You’ve got to remember solvents disperses in air. You’d apply it to a cloth and clean as you please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Kite Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 We tried wedging the door up and retightening the screws which helped a bit. When internorn were back fixing the windows they dropped the fitter suggester this. The door will open but needs 2 hands to push it and the handle is very stiff . We can compare this to our sons sliding door which is much easier to open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
