Nick1c Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 We are starting to look at window costs. I have asked for quotes from Ecowin, Nordan & a Rationel supplier. It seems that Internorm are a great (if pricey!) product which has been let down by some retailers. Could anyone recommend an Internorm seller for me to ask (I would ideally like supply & fit). I am in west Cornwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSS Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 We used EcoHaus Internorm and had some issues but all sorted to our satisfaction in the end. In fairness, ours was a far from straight forward job (due to the SageGlass element), but that was over 2 years ago now and who knows how they may have improved (or indeed the reverse) since. My gut feeling at the time was that they were growing faster than they could cope with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I used Aspect Windows in Exeter. No issue with our Internorm's supplied and fitted. They also supplied and fitted Kastrup which are outward opening 3G timber / alu windows and doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandybay Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi, Could anyone tell me is there much difference between rationel and kastrup Alu clad windows? Quality price etc. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney12 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My 2p’s worth.........avoid Ecohaus, I wish now I had gone with Aspect. They have a good reputation. Foolishly I decided on price and it cost me dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandybay Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi, Does anyone know of problems with kastrup 3g Alu clad windows from ecohaus internorm, or a better alternative brand? Have been told by builder that rationel are difficult to seal in ICF? And sils not deep enough? He is an agent for ecohaus though ? Thanks.

For me it seems Internorm are let down by their fitters. We had two windows fitted and they didn't use compriband (ah we only use that on the eco-housing etc) and there was gaps in the foam and external silicone. I'm probably going to go with simple upvc windows to replaced the rest of the rotten timbers, purely because I've had excellent recommendations on the fitters. I'd rather have crap windows fitted well than expensive excellent ones badly... If anyone can recommend a north of england/south scotland branch, that have decent fitters (who use the right products, not just foam and silicone) I'd be all ears.

Pm1987 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Another vote for avoid Ecohaus. Fitting service is a shambles and the management is poor. Due to covid the original installation date was delayed but this is understandable. What isn't understandable is the installation starting 16.06.2020 having the fitters on site approx. 20 days so far and still not looking like the installation will be completed till next week.

Red Kite Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Another vote for avoid Ecohaus- they dropped 4 of ours, took 16 weeks to replace. Did not fit proper screw caps . 1 pane broken on arrival then replacement also broken. Our large sliding door does not slide easily and even moving the handle is hard. worst thing is they dont give a dam!! and nor do Internorm Austria as we tried calling them about the 16 weeks delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality price etc. Thanks. We're between these two. Kastrup is coming in 10% cheaper, but the local supplier is basically a one man band and outsources the fitting... So leaning towards Internorm as coming from a reputable company. Spec wise, I don't think there is much difference. Kastrup is now owned by Internorm anyway. So kinda like VW vs Skoda or Seat.

JamesP Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) @Conor We had 18 Kastrup windows supplied and fitted in 2018 and large Internorm slider. Kastrup Natur E++, 3G, outward opening, hinged on the side. Timber on the inside, UPVC then Alu on the external face. I think well made though had the glazing replaced on 12 windows due to visible roller marks. The hinge does not hold the window when open in a fixed position if a light wind. Simple adjustment screw on the hinge but not perfect. We had a price for Rationel from a local supplier but 30% more expensive, the Kastrup seemed a more substantial product.
