... Anyone recommend a manufacturer? I'm based in Staffordshire. Ta Steve Hardwood windows used to be listed in the Magnet catalogue. No idea whether they meet your or anybody's ideas of "Good". [Hardwood frames were specified for my now 23year old house, but softwood frames were fitted, and some of these are rotting quite nicely.] -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK http://www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm |

I live there too. Modern hardwood double glazing technology and quality has moved on a massive amount over the past 10 years. It's had to, to keep up with the popularity of UPVC. A hardwood double glazing salesman brought round a small sample unit to my house and I could bearly lift it off the floor. God knows how they get a medium to large sized one up a ladder. |

Although they have just called me back after a week - so they haven't completely forgotten me. The sales guy was telling me his wife won't let him out at night any more coz they've got a young baby and she needs the help. |
