Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone knows who supplies and fits UPVC doors in the Ayamonte area (even into Portugal)?
I need to replace my wood kitchen door in my Rago apartment and would prefer to go for UPVC if possible. Has anyone had their doors replaced recently?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm not sure Southern Spain/Portugal is ideal for Pvc windows/doors.
With a temperate differential of at least 30 degs it has to be well reinforced pvc to cope with the dimensional change. eg. sticking doors/windows.
I think these areas are best suited to Aluminium .... however it should be thermally broken aluminium and not it's poor cousin so often sold around these parts.
Unbroken Aluminium was last sold in the UK in the 70's and early 80's. Remember people complaining they had to use a hairdryer or a bucket of hot water on frosty mornings before the frost would release their door. (Portugal/Spain winters can be just as cold).
