The windows certainly aren't Rylock quality, but they're ok - fully expect we'll need a few service calls on them before they're perfectly adjusted...

Yep, because we went double glazed throughout, we went awning windows throughout, as we were told we couldn't have anything else. That didn't worry me, as I wanted awnings anyway, primarily due to security. I know of people who have replaced their windows with Rylock on the day of handover - in that scenario, they had 100 series single glazed windows during the build... I can't see that Metricon wouldn't install a different manufacturers window, you'd just pay more Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building Bayside : Our Glendale 45 349Oct 09, 2018 8:25 am Drew01 madj-m did you get awnings throughout the whole house? we were thinking of getting a combination of windows in various spots, sliding, awning, louvre, sashless double hung all 300 series double glazed but are a little concerned on the quality. i've been down to the showroom and wasn't overly impressed.

Re: Building Bayside : Our Glendale 45 350Oct 09, 2018 8:35 am Drew, may I ask how much did it cost you to upgrade to double glazed throughout?

I can't see why you couldn't have Jeldwen or Rylock, but you wouldn't get the cost "saving" of the volume purchasing Metricon has with Southern Star. The windows on the whole are pretty good, there's just some quality control issues that shouldn't be there... I've got a mate at Perception Windows in Hallam, and they supply a lot of builders, and their field guy said they've installed into Metricon builds in the past, so your levels of success may vary...

I just thought so many upgrades to consider that keeps adding up. The upgrades are never ending! We added double glazed windows last minute, and glad we did. Hopefully it will make a difference to our energy bills! Re: Building Bayside : Our Glendale 45 358Oct 10, 2018 6:55 pm Drew01 PCI is done and dusted.
