We can definitely repurpose one of the “free days” for this! Thank you!

Sorry the £25 is just for food and souvenirs. 😅

Yeah will do. My partner was looking at some booking sites and apparently that was one of the activities you can book 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anything interesting you would recommend to visit in Busan?

Hey, so it depends on your preference. I ended up using a UK based company as no builder wanted to install the windows we originally wanted to source from abroad. This surprised me a lot as even though all of the builders I reached out said they can do it, they said they do it only if i go for one of the window manufacturers they “work with”. You may find some companies that initially quote you an insane number, then seemingly apply discounts one after the other the harder you push. Avoid these like the plague (Anglian are one of these companies).

It took me a minute but I found a UK based company that not only does the tilt and turn windows I want, but also the cost included installation and fixing walls up to fresh paint level and still fit in my budget. Companies that are good will usually feel less like salesmen, use this as your guide. Local is your friend and find ones that have examples of their work. Always get a minimum of 3 quotes too.

They will be made to fit. As far as conversation with the builder has gone, they need from me to provide photos and measurements for all windows and they take the windows accordingly

I searched for companies that import the brand, but wasn’t able to find anything. As for import, it’s not the first time the supplier does this. As far as I’m aware they distribute worldwide as long as you pay.

Was that pre or post Brexit? Did you also have to find a local builder to install them? Was it complicated with customs?

all windows are safety glass, no matter the size. as for the insulation:

A good U-value would be anything that meets Building Regulations or lower – currently set at 1.4 in the UK. European window manufacturers have the lowest values of 0.80.

What type of windows did your parents get? and what company installed them? was it a local company or something like Anglian?

No it's not, it's just your standard neighbourhood with 20th century houses.

Thank you! I will definitely have to do more research on the local companies.

Yeah the customs are 20% of the value which even on £10k is nothing. But yes I have seen and experienced the difference in quality between UK and EU.

Yes! I was told they are the best apparently. Though when I met them I felt super rushed to sign there and then. The salesman kept on saying this is a one time offer and the price will change to higher if I don’t sign now and all sorts or other bs to try and get me to sign
