Do we have anyone in the Club who can supply and fit Rehau windows? I have 2 bays that need replacing.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob

 

Rob are they GF and FF windows ? If so these are the more challenging to the surveyors measuring and the fitters, they must have reinforcing columns usually metal poles in the corners for structural support. The heads of the GF are also challenging to waterproof if they have masonry above. Silicon is not the answer.

The radius in the corner of these windows is the structural support, some newer windows hide it in the corner profile.

What wrong with those BTW.

 

20+ years old (maybe 25+), 5 units have blown in the last 12 months. some of the fanlights are going brown inside. The openers have always been pita the open / slam closed. generally poor i'd say.

Seems about right for the age, when you have the new ones give the metal stays a spray with WD 40 or equivalent to stop them rusting if you often leave them open. They may also be beaded externally and new profiles are more secure and beaded on the inside.
