I have used www.windowfactory.com.au three times, twice for previous apartment installing inner double glazing doors for bedrooms facing highway and one more time for current house finishing off three more windows that previous owner did not do. They use mainly Kommerling frame which is pretty good I think. At least I like them better than Rehau that is installed for most of windows and doors in current house. Rehau was installed by www.thermaglaze.net.au, and I had to ask him out once to fix one window closing mechanism. Service was great.

faced with a similar dilemma we were told that double glazing could not be made with small panes (and we wanted simple cross bars not colonials) unless we were prepared for about quadruple the basic price so we chose single panes rather than the stick on bars...what about having the colonials in the primary windows and single panes in the others?

Hi Jojo, We chose Rylock windows. We paid dearly for it and anticipated a good product. We had 24 windows installed. Our issues ranged from a frame of a double hung window falling onto my head, to scissor winders bending, to flyscreens not fitting on the windows (2), and locks on sliding doors not working). We moved in 7 weeks ago and they have been out several times. To cut a long story short. Stay away. Spend your money with someone else because their after sales service is shocking! You will get sometimes answers to emails, calls are answered with "other people are waiting on updates too. I get back when I can and I won't be able to give a date when that may be". We were looking at Valley Windows, they essentially offer the same style of window. I would steer well clear of Stegbar too. We looked at their displays and most windows were broken. Good luck!

please clarify the size of the windows and sliding doors.. your post says window is 160 x 66? and what are you aiming to achieve...we need to see floor plans and photos of the existing space to understand the problem better...will the curtain over the window be full length to match the sliding doors is the sliding door and window next to each other, separated by a section of wall or on different walls and do you want the curtains to block light or views or? and what sort of windows are they.. double hung, awning, sliding?? if there is a spearte window with as eparte patterned curtain and you want to increase black out property and keep easy access to ethe window i would widen the track and curtain as much as possible to make to make it wider than the window and add a separate lining curtain that can be hung off the same hooks as the patterned curtains
