Bottom line is all installers have different preferences, some because of experience, some because of incentives, I have my own choice of brand which I will not state, most know mine anyway, but that is my choice,get a few quotes and then search the internet for customers opinion, most major manufacturers are offering very long warranties these days, but lots do not actually honour them and look for a get out clause, get a good honest installer that will look after you in the complete warranty period, decent installers have a good working relationship with the manufacturer that they use, I most certainly do and if my customers need help we work together to sort everything out, I dont get free mugs and shoite , I dont need them
