Working with a tight budget? Here's an honest guide to spending it well.
We fabricate with four branded profiles — Gemplast, Crown, Baydee, and Eiti. They sit at different price points, and that's the honest reason to choose between them. Gemplast is where we start for budget-conscious jobs; Crown and Baydee sit in the middle; Eiti is our premium pick.
An important distinction: this is a price ladder, not a quality ladder. All four are quality branded systems with multi-chambered sections and steel reinforcement where the span needs it — none of them is junk, and none is the unbranded profile we'd warn you away from. Which one is 'best' still depends on your job, not on the price.
On a tight budget, the honest advice is: keep the fundamentals and economise on the extras. Branded profile and reinforcement stay. Fancy glazing on a shaded rear window goes. And if it still doesn't fit, phase the job room by room.
Start with Gemplast (our value profile), keep reinforcement and proper fitting, use standard glazing where the room allows, and upgrade glazing only where heat or noise is a real problem. Phasing the job room by room also helps.
Branded profile, reinforcement on larger frames, and proper fitting. Those are what make a window last.
Yes — phasing spreads the cost, and it's a common approach. We can plan it that way.
