Glazing

Not much more can be done until the glazing arrives.

I ended up getting both the bifold doors and roof latern from a company called P and P Glass.
I'm hoping for a call from them before the end of the week to confirm the installation date.

Corespondance below may be useful to anyone folling in my footsteps:

Hello,

Kindly provide separate quotes for the following (see attached plan), required for the extension I am having built on my house

1. Doors

bifold door 6000mm wide by aprox 2150mm high

Configuration 3L 3R (so as to give french door opening in middle)

Weather track

Open out

Colour: Anthrasite RAL 7016

I will quote the Sunflex SF55 system as discussed (please see attached photo).

South facing so please advice on suitable glazing (thermal control etc.)

I will quote for the Saint-Gobain Planitherm 4S glass (neutral).

Can you quote with and without integrated blinds?

Do you require manual operation or electric? Please note that unless we use the solar control or battery electric systems we would need to use the SF70 system as the SF55 is too small to run the cabling through the doors, we would also insist upon our electrician wiring as this needs to be carried out in conjunction with the glazing.

Can you quote with fitting included?

Yes, this is the area were we specialize so do not offer supply only on Sunflex products.

What warranty do you offer with these doors?

10 years –covering operation of handles, hinges and locking systems as well as double glazed unit failure.

Is it insurance backed?

Yes, by the D.G.C.O.S, covering deposits, stage payments and the guarantee period.

2. Roof Lantern

I initially looked at your site for doors, but see you also do roofs?

Size is 5680mm x 2100mm (although we are considering changing this to 5800mm x 2100mm in case this impacts quote significantly).

This would have a significant impact as the installation time would be near identical, I will base my quote on 2100mm x 5800mm, at least that way it will be a little cheaper if you change your mind.

Can you provide a quote for the Aluminium Thermal Clad roof lantern?

The system we use is called Atlas, previously BDG until a couple of months ago. This is a box section aluminium lantern with full concealed PVCu thermal break; this is actually one of the most efficient systems we have come across.

We are looking at an Edwardian style with no crest or final

South facing so looking at Pilkington Active Blue glazing or similar.

I will include a solar control Conservaglass Subtle Blue tinted glass with Pilkington Active self cleaing outer panes.

Exterior Colour: Anthrasite RAL 7016

Interior Colour: White

Can you quote with fitting included?

I will include installation, our guarantee for lantern roofs is also 10 years and very comprehensive.

 

 

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

Here's the actual quote, In fairness to P&P Glass (who have been extreamly profesional) I have removed the actual price they quoted me.

Lets just say neither the doors or roof lantern was cheap!!! But the price P&P Glass quoted me was just about as good as anywhere else for the same product. They made alot of claims about their level of service and I'm delighted to say that so far they have excelled.
