hello
I had eurocell upvc windows fitted advertised by the glazing company as “A rated” and have had issues from day one and still am, the issue I wish to ask a question about is the actual glazed units. One of the units on my kitchen window (cruciform style) was scratched so that was replaced and two other units in another frame where too small so those two got replaced however as the frame was also damaged by the fitters and that had to be replaced the fitters broke two of the glass units in the top openers so in total 5 glass units had to be replaced.
Anyway the original glazing units had WARM EDGE SPACER BAR however the ones they replaced have ALUMINIUM SPACER BAR so they must have used another glass supplier. I notice now the bathroom window steams up more and the kitchen window (a cruciform style) the left glass unit was replaced which has an aluminium spacer bar so that looks out of place next to the unit that has warm edge spacers and also steams up were as the warm edge spacer doesnt.
In relation to energy A rating and being sold energy A rated windows, will having the spacer bar changed from “warm edge” to “aluminium” spacers change the rating at all, (it has changed the looks especially the one which has two different glass units in).
If I had glass units fitted with warm edge spacer bars then should I have had them replaced with warm edge or would aluminium pass, will it matter to the A rating at all under building regs?
Also two of the frames got replaced (due to fitter damage) the rubber seal around the sashes (top openers and side opener) were not fixed in properly at the factory so they glued them back into the grooves around the sashes using super glue and as you may be aware super glue is brittle on rubber so the rubber is now hard and the seals have come off again in places, will this also effect the A rating?
By the way I have asked questions before with regards to this fit under mick.inc but it wont let me log in using google so have had to join again.
thanks in advance
