Questions

Frequently asked

Which uPVC profile brand is best?

There's no single best — judge any profile on multi-chamber construction, reinforcement, lead-free UV-stable material, and finishes. The maker who fabricates and fits it matters as much as the brand.

Does the profile brand matter?

It's a useful quality signal, but fabrication and fitting matter as much or more. A quality profile fitted badly still disappoints.

How do I choose?

Pick a quality branded profile and, just as importantly, a competent in-house maker to fabricate and fit it.
