Questions

Frequently asked

Does the uPVC profile brand matter?

As a quality signal, yes — especially versus unbranded profile. But between quality branded profiles the differences are smaller than marketing suggests, and fabrication and fitting matter as much or more.

Is an expensive profile brand worth it?

Up to a point — a quality branded profile is worth it over unbranded; beyond that, the maker's fabrication and fitting decide the result.

What matters most?

A quality profile plus a competent in-house maker to fabricate and fit it.
