Disadvantages: Will not screw anything over 5mm diameter.

Review of Q-Tech Q-P025 Electric Airless Paint Spraying Pump by
mcfcdave12
Advantages: Fantastic finish, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Different tips for gun can be a bit of a minefield.

Zenith Windows Sales Techniques
Review of Zenith Windows by
bumble7
Advantages: Well engineered product

Review of Anglian Windows by
biotower
Advantages: The product is accetable
Disadvantages: Needs to be fitted by people who know what they are doing
We employed Anglian Home Improvements which is a joke as they nearly ruined our new house. I wish we never used this company and would avoid them at all costs. There are plenty of better companies to use.
