The same goes for upvc windows. When we had ours installed we chose a company that supplied internal beading and were very glad that we did. We had several companies quote for the work, most of these having external beading and saying that they were very secure. When our internally beaded windows were installed one of the units was cracked and had to be replaced. Took the installer around a minute to get the old unit out using nothing but a one inch wide paint scraper. He said that he could get a unit out in a quarter of that time if he wasn't bothered about damaging anything.
