    I've a good quote for woodgrain effect uPVC windows with triple glazing. Here's the spec of the window:

    Internally Glazed
    Triple Glazed (42mm Thick)
    Internal Pane – Soft Coat Low E
    Centre Pane – Soft Coat Low E
    External Pane – Float Glass
    Spacer Bar- Warm Edge
    Both Cavity- Argon Filled
    Glass U Value – 0.6 W/m²K
    Whole Window U Value – 0.9 W/m²K
    Energy Rating “A+”

    Is there anything people can see wrong with that spec? Or anything I should ask the supplier?

    The frame size of the window is 70mm front to back for triple glazed so a bigger frame is used - its only 58mm front to back for double glazed.

    Some more q's...
    Does the company manufacture the windows or does the company import them?
    Who is the warranty with the manufacturer or the importer?
    What's the warranty period?
    What is the delivery lead time?

    I already asked these. Its more questions about the spec or window I wanted to ask.

    The warranty is ten years, delivery time is 4 weeks and the company imports the window and then fits it.

    Hi - that looks like a decent spec on the windows - would you mind PM'ing me the supplier as I'm right at the point of quoting these to order them

    Thanks,
