The comparison method

1
Check formulation: lead-free and UV-stable?
2
Check construction: chambers and wall thickness
3
Check reinforcement: steel where needed?
4
Check series and finish options for your job
5
Check local support and spares availability
6
Then weigh who fabricates and fits

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I compare uPVC profile brands?

On substance — formulation (lead-free, UV-stable), construction (chambers, wall thickness), reinforcement, series and finishes, and local support — rather than marketing slogans.

What's the most overlooked factor?

Who fabricates and fits the window. A quality profile fitted badly still disappoints, so weigh the maker as much as the brand.

Does local support matter?

Yes — ready spares and service locally make ownership easier than a hard-to-service import.
