did you try 'munster joinery' - the clare crowd - they used to be good and cheaper than most of the rest

Munster joinery are a shower of cowboys, they are cheap but the quality is shite and the aftersales service os worse.
DR try O'Gradys in charlestown, they will match Munster or better and the quality is much better, you should be looking to get 20-25% discount of the normal price ( they will show you the discount on the quote) and they should fit in donegal

Oma Elite Windows. They do great work and tidy up well after, plastering and what not. You'd be surprised at how many that don't or don't take good care at it.

Deel
did you think about hard wood timber windows with aluminium cladding (various colours apparantly).

Apparantly a better eco coefficient (whatever the fcuk that is) and less maintenance and colour warping etc

was thinking about building a house a couple of years back (circumstances have changed so not any more) and this was the thing I thought was good. Offers better envir rating and insulation - though thats prob a load of sales bollix
