Looking for recomendations for glazing for Potton self build

[Post and beam]

Hi Guys

I liked the look of the Residence collection adverts in the magazines. However, reading reviews this evening it seems they would be a very bad choice.

So, can anybody recommend a supplier for windows and doors.

I expect to be buying casement windows of middle quality. Would love Sash windows but i am not a rich guy so doubt that is going to happen.

Style of house is Heritage collection 1 1/2 story potton post and beam country farmhouse kind of thing.

Thanks in advance

I can recommend Rationel,  though I went for contemporary alu clad units, they also do more traditional style windows.  Pricing I thought was very good, but I got my prices just before lockdown.  They have just replaced the front door for free, under warranty, as the paint started to crack and crease. No quibble replacement.  So I can vouch for service as well as product.  My front elevation is well exposed to wind rain and sun.  No issues with the windows.  Very good
 

Nordan have a good reputation amongst some other members.

I can recommend Simon Chadwick of SMC. He’s come to the rescue from a job that’s started with a window fitter on his mother’s side…..

Very nice guy, and came very highly recommended via Dovista ( who own Velfac and Rational ). 
Give him a buzz and mention the Welshman.

I really like Bereco for a traditional style house, but they are not cheap. Have you had a look at their ranges?

I have bereco, sash windows, good quality, decent price for pre finished timber sash and case.

I had a look at the Bereco site. Some of their pictures looked familiar. They are of the Potton show houses, so if Potton use them themselves i will follow up with an enquiry. Thanks again

If you buy them through Potton it’s probably cheaper, just ask them for a quote themselves and then pick a different external supplier to compare the costs.

One step ahead of you. I had a look at Rationel as well.
