importing windows from uk

[paul and barbara]

i am in the double glazing business in uk ,i am thinking of bringing some windows and doors with me for our place, are there any restrictions on bringing building materials into turkey

I bet they'll find a way of charging you 250% import duty.   

Seriously though, I think you're wasting your money bringing that sort of stuff out. You'll find 99% of what you need in Turkey.

Can you bring a few doors and a new roof
  For me when you come ?

I can see his point, as we all know, Turkish 'double glazing is the absolute pits, doesn't keep out noise nor heat/cold, absolute feckin' ****e !! You go for it mate !!

from what i have seen of turkish double glazing i must agree it doesnt look very good quality

There are different qualities of this here in Turkey. Have looked at lots and certainly some are cheaper quality than others. Is there a standard in the UK that you could try and ask for in Turkey? You must have a head start on most of us here if you are in the business, so to speak! Certainly there are standards for some things here, ceramics, taps, and maybe others? Sure you will be charged tax though on import from the UK, if available here, I can understand that.

Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer choice.

Quite happy with what we paid and what we got.

I bought lockable window handles,lockable patio door handles and night vents out with me from the UK. Far better quality and no problem fitting them. If you leave the internal doors open the night vents solve a lot of the condensation/damp problems. Paul, on your next visit you could call around the window manufactures on the industrial estates in Fethiye and see what profiles and units they are using and perhaps just bring your own fittings out in your luggage.
