    I'll be ordering windows for our new build in the next few months and wanted to see if people had any good or bad experiences with manufactures/installers.

    Here is an initial list we were considering:
    - Carlson, Velfac, Rationel, Nordan, Munster.

    We will have a lot of large floor to ceiling south facing windows.
    We want slim contemporary window frames that will have low u-values but also have to stick to our budget.

    Our architect reckons Velfac are the most ascetically pleasing windows.

    Any tips/advice welcome.

    Please PM me personal opinions as I believe it's against forum rules to publicly post opinions on window manufactures.

    Eh, no it's not. Both of the posts below are from Oct 2015....

    Personally I wouldn't give Munster Joinery the steam off my p1ss after the last dealings I had with them. Mediocre workmanship, sh1t service, sh1t attitude.

    Exactly my experience with Munster Joinery windows. So badly fitted that they may as well be open in terms of noise. I can actually feel a slight breeze if I stand by the closed windows.

    I got new eight new windows and a kitchen door installed this year by Wright Windows, can't recommend them highly enough. They were recommended by a friend and I discovered that they're part of the Grafton Group (who own Woodies) yet they never spend a penny advertising, unlike MJ who are on the radio every other day. http://www.wrightwindows.ie/
