Any recommendations for a replacement double glazing company in Auckland? And is aluminum joinery still preferred over uPVC?

 

Thanks.

 

What is wrong with your existing joinery, do you need to replace a whole houselot, what is it you want done and why? How much is budget an issue?

I can't make recommendations but I can PM you some suggestions. Most aluminium companies don't want to deal with the public but there aren't many PVC companies to chose from in Auckland.

Not many people know enough about both aluminium and PVC to make a legitimate comparison. There is a culture of exaggerated claims surrounding a PVC echo chamber in Europe so you need to be wary of hyperbole.
