Hi,

Does anyone know if it is worth getting uPVC steel reinforced windows or just regular A rated uPVC?

I've come across some Irish companies that advertise steel reinforced windows certified by NSAI, as far as I can understand they are foam filled in order to bring the u/energy rating values up due to the loss that steel reinforcement causes. But there is about a 1500 euro difference between getting steel reinforcement versus other companies offering non steel reinforced UK certified uPVC windows so just wondering if it is worth it?
