ID these beads please

[crank39]

As the pictures show the foil has been rubbed by the side beads thus pulling it off, obviously need to replace the beads but the only writing on them is 'Prem', any of you other pvc guys have any clues

Sorry I cant really help.

If this post was about 2 weeks ago I had just ripped out 4 mahogany windows that looked identical to these but they have already been taken away in the skip

I did try to work out what make they were as I took them out but they didn't seem to be marked anywhere, I can only say that they look similar to old Coastal beads.

Sorry and good luck

Thanks gazman, thing is i need 95 metres of it as every window in the house is affected so it would need to come from a fabricator or direct from the factory. My report is currently with the insurer, i've given them both scenarios - beads or new windows so will await their instruction

They look like the old duraflex beads

Its a nine year old install and the customer is claiming on the IBG, trouble with double glazing like computers - if its a year old its out of date , i like soucing parts but sometimes you have to accept you've been beaten

I had pretty much always heard that the IBG's weren't worth the paper they were written on. If they do fork out for new windows or even just new beads let us know

Possibly premier profiles, but i believe they went out of business some years back.

Jesus your having a laugh, the company i work for purely work for the insurers, stacked out with work and have been for the 4 years i've been with them.

To be honest the insurers are dead fair, we carry out independant surveys and write reports for them so they can make an informed decision, we are purposely kept in the dark as to what the policy covers as everyone is slightly different, we tell it as we see it and if its wrong then its put right, no questions and cost has no bearing

One thing they don't like covering though is sunlight damage i.e fading or warping and bowing especially woodgrains

Nice but minor. You want a competition of worst bodges?
