Grumpy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 We are wanting to replace the windows in our house in the Creuse. We're after 8 fairly standard uPVC units. Can anyone tell me what sort of cost I am looking at? Obviously, I'm only after a "ballpark" figure, but ideas and recommendations are all welcome!

Alcazar Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Ours came from "Ets Forgeneuve" at Tous Vents near Piegut-Pluviers in Northern Dordogne. M.Forgeneuve came to us, measured up, and the windows were made to measure, to our design, (to match others in the area), and to our specification as regards opening, handles etc.They cost an average of €250 each, fitted. Quality is as good, or better than UK ones.Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francais Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I was in Brico Depot last week and they seem to have quite a range of PVC and Wooden double glazed units at what seemed to me, to be reasonable prices.HTHTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenauds Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 We are near Bourganeuf andf we got all our windows from Lapeyre inLimoges thay have different grades and both wood and PVC as well asdoors and other similar bits, relatively cheap and seem to be excellentquality. They do provide a comprehensive catalogue which we have loanedto lots of visitors to our campsite who wished to refurbished housesbut - in the nature of things , my copy has disappeared.

He also does shutters and Persillennes.Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Just had a quick scan through the Bricoman catalogue, and they claim "over 2000 windows in stock" in both wood and uPVC. Prices vary, of course, but some typical ones are:Twin-opening 100 cms x 125 cms uPVC: 130 eurosTwin-opening 100 cms x 155 cms uPVC: 150 eurosTwin-opening 120 cms x 155 cms uPVC: 170 eurosThey also offer the kind that either open conventionally, or with a twist of the handle, hinge from the base instead. Solid wood are marginally cheaper. We fitted one ourselves (90 cms x 175 cms @ 140 euros) in a day, no problem. The only thing we needed to buy extra were the screws (with integral wallplugs - hammer in part way then screw the rest) and a suitable handle.
