I believe these are Marvin brand aluminum clad windows.

It seems to be more expensive to get bronze on the inside and outside. We are just getting the inside primed for paint and will paint to match the outside bronze.

I personally have made several roman blinds for kitchen windows and prefer these as they give softer lines than roller blinds, but it depends on the style of your decor to a certain extent. Both the style of blinds in the above kitchens look lovely, because they go with the rooms (the softer edging to blinds on the more trad kitchen, the plain white on modernist one). If you want some color, you can choose the fabric and make either style yourself from a kit, which gives you much more flexibility. Purchased blinds (if they are any quality at all) are much too expensive for what they are, in my opinion!

What type of cooker extractor?

In our experience, the most critical point of a ducted extractor is the ducting arrangement rather than the extractor itself. For greatest effectiveness, avoid ribbed, flexible ducting, which is easy and cheap to fit but impedes air flow, make the runs as simple as possible and use the largest diameter rigid ducting that is feasible. Recirculating chimney hoods that are not ducted but just clean the air and return it into the room can work reasonably (though rarely as well as properly ducted ones) and may be seen as more ecological since heat is not lost, but they do little to remove steam and grease filters need to be cleaned or replaced often. Building regulations require all kitchens to have extractors (to avoid condensation), so sometimes we install an extractor fan in addition to a recirculating chimney hood, making sure the extractor isn't near the cooker to short-circuit the fumes and grease, since extract fans (unlike extractor hoods) don't normally have filters. Manufacturers' websites give acoustical information, and generally the bigger the cooker hood and the stronger the motor the more efficient it will be.

Advice on selecting the best type of wood for ext windows and doors

Hi John Sapele is from the mahogany family and is more readily available as a solid timber, the engineered format is usually more expensive than Grandis. Grandis is from the eucalyptus family and is readily available in engineered format making it slightly cheaper. but they are both good hardwoods and both ideal for doors and windows however we would personally always opt for engineered timber for stability unless using Accoya timber. We use engineered wood in virtually all of our exterior joinery projects as it is much more stable to work with compared to solid timber sections and is much less likely to warp or twist in wet/humid conditions. Depending on the finish you want on your door and whether or not you live in an exposed area e.g. by the sea would help us deciding on a certain timber for your needs. If you want a stained wooden door then you can not beat Engineered Oak. If you are opting for a painted finish then we would advise on Engineered Grandis. It is a more affordable hardwood that looks great when painted. If you live in an exposed area then Accoya is fantastic, it is a softwood that has had the cell structure altered using a natural process to stop it from absorbing moisture. The benefits of this is that Accoya timber will last 50 years above sea level and the shrinkage and swelling is reduced by 75% which reduces your maintenance costs long term. It can be painted or if you prefer it can be stained to look like Oak. Accoya is a more expensive timber due to its properties. For painted windows we still think Engineered Redwood is a great affordable option, it is a very hard "softwood" and works well for windows but we would never advise that it is used on doors as it doesn't last. Again if you want your windows to be stained then we would suggest Engineered Oak or Accoya. Hope this helps, good luck with your search and let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks Sonia, I'll check them out. Everest is one of those big firms I want to keep distance. Thanks for mentioning them anyway. Veka has come under my radar among a couple of other german brands, it seesm the problem is the company that get their profiles and matches with furniture that is nog good quality so besides the brand, also the factory that put everything together is another variable in the equation to find a good window. definitely not the easiest thing task so far, not as easy as I hoped to go somewhere and buy something that is exactly what it says on the box
