uPVC or wood?

I'm in Bristol. We were one of the main ports for that trade.

Yeah. I'm from there too. I suppose dodgy wood was somewhat more ethical than our previous biggest cargo.

What staining/weathering issues? Cif cream cleaner keeps them looking good as new.

I always wash the one ground floor UPV window and patio doors I have with plenty of warm water and a drop of washing up liquid. And do the frames at the same time. So far, they still look like new. Paintwork done at the same time they were fitted looks like it'll need doing again this year.

I'll give you an interesting comment about Jeld -Wen

I have been in the window industry all my life some 32 years as a working man. mostly as a window fitter and recenly as a service engineer.

Jeld-Wen are responsible for manufacturing the most atrocious frames i have ever encountered .

IMO PVC is fine if it is A Manufactured properly B Fitted properly

If you want a really good looking PVC frame get a look at a Decurnick window.

I have no direct link with that company and my opinion is unbiased from the point of view that i service all makes and models from Ali swing doors in schools shops and restaurants etc to more upvc Window ,Patio and Resi Door Frames than i care to mention.

hello

I have tried to find the Decurnick window on google but no luck......................can you point me to a web site??

thanks

Well I've just used the link and it goes straight there!

I have a conservatory with Deceuninck profile and am very pleased with it.
