Replacement windows - which profile?
We're having a couple of local companies round next week to quote for replacement double glazing.
I've looked on each companies website and they both use different profiles.
One uses Rehau and the other uses Kommerling.
Naturally each company states they use the best, is there anyone on here who can give me some independant advice....what are the differences, which one is best etc??
Cheers

I have had Rehau before .Very good quality ,chunky solid feel to them .
I just had one similar to Rehau called Veka I think .Also seems very good quality but 10 % cheaper than Rehau .

just found this on a quick google search for you not sure if it will be any help but they seem to think rehau of of those 3 mentioned in the question
We have had 3 quotes, all of which were very similar. However each quote was for a different system. The 3 are Rehau, Profile 22 & we think Synseal. What is the difference between them and which would you recommend?
This Question answered by Tina Dunlop @ Almost Impartial Guide - The three PVCu Systems you mention are some of the most respected extruders in the UK today. My personal opinion - based on looks - is a preference for the REHAU system. If you go with this then ask for their 70mm extrusion. (They also do a 60 mm extrusion). Profile 22 also has good looks - but its not a system I have had a lot of personal experience with. Synseal have several sizes of extrusions. I would only consider their SHIELD system which like the Rehau extrusion is available in 70 mm sections. In terms of cost I would expect the Rehau extrusion quote to be slightly more expensive. I would also opt for the internally beaded option if available. Finally - I think you would be happy with any of these extrusions. The more important thing is the quality of Fit. That will determine your ultimate satisfaction. Make your final decision based on the quality of the company and evidence

I design aluminium windows but have just had the need for a PVC profile. we went with Rehau. They've been good on price and good to deal with. They use a percentage of reclaimed pvc in their products which I believe helps with price but the quality was adequate for our needs.
