Anyone any feedback on BauMeister windows (BMNE)?

OffBelay

Hi all
I am looking for high quality triple glazed PVC for our home renovation project (to put in context - we will have a *lot* of insulation, airtightness, mechanical ventilation)

Budget does not extend to Alu-clad, and we are concerned about the maintenance requirements for timber which is why we are going with uPVC

Most Irish suppliers of triple glazed uPVC do not appear to be providing appropriately sized frames or spacing in their PVC offering, so I changed the search to look for passive house standard uPVC (we won't end up with a passive house, but a passive standard window gives me the reassurance I need about the overall spec).

Suppliers we have identified who offer this are:

Munster - won't touch with a barge pole due to so much poor word of mouth
Megrame - v expensive
Eco-Glaze - have failed to return 2 phone calls and an email enquiry
BauMeister <SNIP> - very impressed so far with sales person but can't find any feedback either here on boards or generally through Google, aside from the testimonials on their website

So if anyone out there has any experience good, bad or indifferent, I would really like to hear it.
Also, if any one knows of any other suppliers who offer really good uPVC triple glazing I'd welcome the info. It need not necessarily be a passive-certified window, but that's the standard I am judging against.

(Apols in advance if this is in the wrong location)

Grady windows in mayo. Timber alu and upvc.

sounds like a bit of a sales pitch there to me, considering no real technical detail on that website link.

never had any problems (out of the ordinary) with the company you won't touch with a barge pole, they have upped their game in recent years in terms of standards and to their credit they were the Irish window company (manufacturer) to achieve a certified passivhaus institute window.

The PHI certification only looks at the thermal properties and is a software exercise. The installation details have been optimised for thermal efficiency rather then durability.
There is a lot more then that to making a durable window that is suitable for the climate in the British Isles.
Does it have Kite Mark, Q-Mark or Agrement certification?
