Every once in a while I conduct my own survey via my readers as to what they think home owners should be paying for our goods. It’s been a couple of years since I conducted my last one so I thought it might be a good time to carry out a new one.
The timing seems right. Prices are on their way up. There is a whole host of new products and options available to the home owner now. DGB readership reaches more and more people, and it’s always good to view other people’s opinions on matters such as these.
The polls
Below you will see a series of polls, each pertaining to their own product group. I have tried to include the more popular products at this current time, such as composite doors and bi-folding doors etc. There is a window poll as well as a solid roof conversion poll.
Above each poll I have included a more detailed description of the poll and what to consider when placing your vote. Please read this before you take part.
I am looking to get to three figures in each of the polls before I report back on any of the results. So I guess that the length of these polls will be determined by how quickly you lot get your clicking fingers out!
As soon as I feel as though I have enough responses back to return accurate results I will close the polls and write a post reporting on the final tallies. I’ll be pushing this on social media and will make it a featured post on DGB in the coming days.
Have fun!
