Different windows.

[rizla01]

Hi All,

I hate plastic windows with a vengeance but if forced thru cost to have them in my new build I might consider black.

trouble is that I have heard of these having probs because they absorb the heat and distort/creak. Any views on this?

Hardwood is extremely costly and it seems that so too, is aluminium.(In this country at least)

I have 24 windows to pay for plus a set of bi-folds and french windows, so the cost is a large factor here. I want a slim looking window and prefer a dark finish (Perhaps balck outer & white inner)

Does anyone have any ideas what I should go for?

I need to decide soon so that I can get full planning permissions.

Does anyone have experience of the Ali/Wood windows available from Germany

Nothing wrong with British timber or aluminium windows whatsoever or upvc for that matter. It really comes down to personal taste/costs. You can have aluminium windows in any colour you like.

Hi,
Do some grades of PVCU still go discoloured and yellow over a period of time been on http://www.unicornwindows.co.uk Leighton Buzzard and they use a type of plastic which is claimed to be colour fast, I don’t suppose there’s any that don’t what should you avoid?
