Juj Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Do you guys have any recommendations or are you familiar with any companies who provide quality, reasonably priced slimline aluminium windows? The most mentioned on the site seem to be rational, but their frames are a little chunky for my preferences, I'm not looking for PH standards, so triple glazing is not necessary.

ProDave Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 And I chose Rationel partly because of the clean uncomplicated profile compared to some other makes. Have you looked at Nordan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richi Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Our fabricator used Smart Alitherm 300 frames. The 53mm-deep version is as minimal as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K78 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 As Dave mentioned. Nordan look good. I was going to import but with current exchange rate it’s barely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visti Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Highly recommend Gaulhofer. We went with their In-Line 91mm which is triple glazed, so may be more dear than you're willing to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 not aluminium, thought about crittal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked into getting some two interior doors done by them and from memory it was going to be thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvincentd Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Think Crittal struggles to meet new build requirements.....more for renovations. idealcombi Futura+ have thin profile and seem amongst the most competitive/decent quality/high performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juj Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks for the recommendations all, it looks as though I might have over 200m2 of glass including doors/ windows/ roof lights so this is a pretty huge decision. I'm going to be getting a quote from everyone then compare features/ u-values/ pros and cons, and after all that, I'll go with the cheapest! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinthehouse Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi Juj Who are you having provide your windows and did you go for Ali Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juj Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 @jpinthehouse Sorry for the late reply. Plans were only finalised today so I'm just about to get quotes in now. I do like the Idealcombi to be honest but will get quotes from as many sources as possible and narrow down based on price/ look/ quality etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 We have put IdealCombi in our latest project. We used a combination of inward and outward opening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding it difficult to find contemporary looking projects of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janelondon Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Any suggestions for Crittall style windows - either in steel or alu. Looking for the slim line profile but better thermal performance (ideally 3G). On my shortlist are MetTherm (AG210), Kawneer (GT70) Secco (EBE 85), Jansen (Arte) and Mondrian (though this looks a tad more contemporary than Crittall). Haven't gotten any quotes yet but they all do look eye-wateringly expensive! ? Also have come across almost a dozen other companies but they don't seem to have very good U-values and mostly 2G only.

Pocster Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Iqglass ? . Not cheap - but seems good quality and minimalistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they're on our list - their Sieger & Mondrian lines look promising. However they may be a tad more contemporary than we want as our facade is quite traditional. Secco is the ideal look - very nice but I'm sure very expensive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ; we want contemporary modern ( which always seems to cost more ! ) . Internorm stuff looks good but to ‘chunky’ I think for us ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
