Boost property value with large glazing
Aliplast MaxLight Modern is a thin-frame premium system that makes homes feel bigger and more upscale. This look helps justify a higher asking price and speeds up sales, boosting ROI for you.
Based on our experience, the best-performing and highest-ROI choice for luxury spec homes is thermally broken aluminum windows with slim frames.
MaxLight Modern delivers on the details:
fixed units feature ultra-slim 1.37 in frames with a 92% glass-to-frame ratio.
Tilt-turn windows offer 78% glass
and concealed hinges for a clean, modern finish.
And you can go big. MaxLight supports window heights up to 103.5 inches, with no compromise on structural stability thanks to its extruded aluminum profile.

Designed for high-end buyers and coastal locations
Luxury buyers expect comfort and performance. Your spec home with Aliplast MaxLight Modern windows feels warm in winter, cool in summer, and solid.
With MaxLight, you can deliver that without needing special upgrades: it offers insulation levels that meet North Eastern standards (U-factor 0.22 with double glazing, 0.16 with triple).
Planning to build near the coast? MaxLight comes with seaside-certified coating at no extra cost. You also get access to the full RAL color range, so you can hit the look your buyer wants without paying extra for custom finishes.
Certified seaside coating is a standard for Aliplast MaxLight Modern.
Consistent look across windows and sliding doors
One of the key advantages of using MaxLight is how well it pairs with COR Vision sliding doors from Cortizo – our top pick for luxury spec patio systems. Together, they give the entire build a consistent, high-end look that feels custom-designed.
Aliplast sliding doors don’t align visually with Aliplast MaxLight as well as COR Vision does.
That’s why, instead of sticking to a single brand, we recommend system combinations that deliver a clean, frameless design across all openings.
Since we work independently, we’re free to choose what fits best – not what’s tied to a specific brand. So the final result meets the expectations of luxury buyers.
We’ve tested this combo on many projects –
MaxLight and COR Vision work together perfectly
to create a unified, frameless design
that feels high-end throughout the home.

Aliplast MaxLight Modern can be configured to meet U.S. building code requirements and pass inspections without extra hassle.
It’s also installer-friendly if your crew is used to American-style setups, the system can be delivered with a nailing fin option.
Need an NFRC label for your project? That’s also possible with MaxLight, so you’re covered on both the construction and paperwork sides.

Cut costs with MB-79N in secondary areas
By switching to Aluprof MB-79N in less visible parts of the home, you can cut window costs by 15–35% (fix vs. tilt and turn) while keeping the overall design consistent.
Use it for rear elevations, basements, or secondary bedrooms – spaces that don’t need ultra-slim frames.
Because it’s also aluminum, MB-79N uses the same RAL color palette as MaxLight, so the look stays uniform across the build.
It still offers modern details: concealed hinges, and large glazing up to 108 inches – with fixed units as slim as 2 inches.
Can you order Aliplast from any supplier without risk?
No. With European sliding doors, brand names like Aliplast, Aluprof or Salamander don’t guarantee quality.
These companies only make the profiles (extrusions) – it’s up to the manufacturers to build the actual doors.
And not all manufacturers are the same. Some build reliably, others cut corners – and you find out too late, through callbacks or warranty issues.
What really matters is not the profile brand, but which factory builds your doors.
We’ve tested dozens of suppliers. Now we stick only with the ones that deliver solid, consistent quality – so you don’t end up paying for someone else’s mistakes.
At debesto, we check how sliding systems are built at the factory – not just how they look in brochures.
How to verify a European window system for a spec home project?
You don’t need to fly to Europe to verify quality. There are three reliable ways our U.S. clients check systems before ordering:
Review case studies: Real projects, real specs, real feedback from developers and other building pros
Request samples: Get a feel for the aluminum profiles, finish quality, and technical details upfront
Visit a jobsite in the U.S.: We can connect you with builders who’ve already installed the system, so you can see it in person before you commit.
This combination delivers the frameless, upscale look buyers expect – at up to 50% lower cost than comparable U.S. systems. It’s also about 25% cheaper than other European options.
To reduce costs further by 15-35%, apply MB-79N in areas that don’t need ultra-slim frames, such as rear elevations, basements, or secondary bedrooms.
Keep in mind that system label alone doesn’t guarantee quality. After testing dozens of factories over the years, we’ve seen big differences even within the same brand. That’s why we only work with vetted manufacturers, so you avoid costly surprises once the windows arrive on site.

It was based on real quotes from Polish manufacturers and feedback from U.S. spec home builders who installed these systems. All data was compiled by debesto’s technology department in October 2025.
Why should I trust the results of this ranking?
We analyzed dozens of window systems over 10+ years. Aliplast MaxLight Modern made the cut because it delivers value without site problems – confirmed by our sales data and by what truly works for our clients. As a broker, we work with many different manufacturers, so we have no interest in favoring one brand over another. But if if you want, you can always verify a specific profile by ordering a sample yourself.
Why are Polish manufacturers used as the benchmark for this ranking?
The answer is simple: Poland is the world’s largest exporter of windows and doors. Polish-made aluminum windows are often up to 50% cheaper than U.S. systems while meeting U.S. building codes.
