Suffolk_J Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Afternoon all, Looking into ordering our windows. We plan on installing ourselves so want supply only. Aim is for triple glazed aluminium or timber alu clad. Anyone have any experience with this or recommendations? Obviously quality is important but balanced against a tight budget. Supply will be to Suffolk. Thanks in advance J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmarshall Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 We have literally just finished fitting aluclad from Allen brothers. Thier aluclad are actually manufactured in Denmark by their sister company but we only dealt with the UK side. Great communication, delivery and good products. We are very pleased with them, in my opinion great value for money which I guess is what you're looking for! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vala Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) We used Origin for our aluminium windows. Set up a trade account with them and got access to the site to size and spec them up myself. The reps are pretty good if you need anything clarifying or queries with orders.

Suffolk_J Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Thanks all. Will give all of these a try ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Worth having a look at Duration, they have a show room on Canvey Island so not too far away. My mum had an aluminium sliding door from them which she's happy with, my brother fitted it for her and is now considering them for all the doors and windows in his mega extension and renovation starting this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest challenge is seemingly getting someone that can supply a single pane that is 2100 by 600. Most seem to want to split this over 2 panes so our enquiries are still ongoing. I'll let you know where we end up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know where we end up! Why??? Are they saying that’s big, or just too long and skinny. I have many windows far larger than this with a single pane. 2600x1500.

Also it depends on wind loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that , what I don’t understand is not being able to find other companies, I walked around the NEC today and there must have been a dozen companies there that could do it.

Their Google reviews are shocking, but I guess they must be cheap. Persimmon are among their customers. I might give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
