Hinges wont take the weight, beads dont fit, 3 times the price of 'A' rated etc.

I have been on the Rehau website for there 'preferred suppliers' in my area but none are being particularly helpful!

We used eurocell eurologik (7 chambered construction) which is used to get 2G up to A rated or with a narrower bead can take 3G.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=151298#Comment_151298 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=151298#Comment_151298 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:28:01 +0100 jamesingram I'd imagine most SE guys would also run similar delivers all over.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=151357#Comment_151357 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=151357#Comment_151357 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:02:48 +0100 RobinB https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=152098#Comment_152098 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=152098#Comment_152098 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:43:08 +0100 DamonHD

U-values in windows are only part of the equation. How many of suppliers have tested windows with triple-glazing ? 50% increase in sash weight is going to put a lot of extra strain on ironmongery and the fixings. I'd recommend asking what size sashes have they tested to BS6375-2 with triple-glazing. Same question for BS7950 (for enhanced security) if they are claiming secured by design.

But I'm fairly optimistic that this will work well and resolve a number of issues at once.

PS. Still need to work out where to put extra MHRV to keep RH under control in winter amongst other things, and complete our IWI fun. May even sneak a little more loft insulation in for giggles.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=277897#Comment_277897 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=277897#Comment_277897 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 19:49:33 +0000 DamonHD

Warmlite has been very good about fixing the issues under warranty, quickly and professionally.

OTOH you seem to have had quite a few failures with their products. FWIW we have had no failures with our glazing in five years. Well except for a toughened glass door that succumbed to a stone thrown up by the lawnmower.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=277901#Comment_277901 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=277901#Comment_277901 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 20:33:47 +0000 DamonHD
And we still have a couple of years left on the warranty!

Has anyone else had whiteline products since 2012 and had a more typical experience. I've never heard of units spontaneously shattering other than your 6(!), only of bird-strikes doing similar damage.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=305532#Comment_305532 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9318&Focus=305532#Comment_305532 Sun, 10 Mar 2024 20:08:39 +0000 djh Posted By: wookeyDo you have an unusual frequency of fat birds?We have a fair number of bird strikes (mostly pigeons I think with the odd blackbird) but haven't had any break as yet.]]>
