Hi all,

A slightly off-beat topic but...if anyone has experience of these I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

I'm just about to put in a VERY large order for windows/doors for a 5000 sqft new build house. Trust me...there's a lot of glass.

We have been in touch with several suppliers for months now and, in general, their sales teams have been awful, with vague and often contradictory opinions.

We and our architect are very keen on having and anodised bronze (Analok 543 if you're particularly interested) finish but we're worried about how scratch resistant they'll be.

The anodising company says they'll be indestructible, the suppliers are saying they'll scratch easily and that we should have a powder coated RAL colour. But even the metalicised RAL colours don't have the same sheen and lustre as the anodised.

But if anyone has experience of anodising windows, do tell...before I make a very expensive mistake.

Many thanks,

david
