The Challenge: the vision the architect wanted to achieve
Jacek Szewczyk runs a New York construction firm with 15+ years in the market and a portfolio spanning ground-up builds and complex renovations. He came to debesto on a referral from another client, expecting verified products and real advisory, not just a quote.
He had two projects running at once: a new house and the renovation of an older building, both demanding high-end aluminum windows and non-standard details to hit the architect’s vision.
- The architect’s “futuristic luxury” spec: the look depended on premium materials and slim, glass-forward elements — the kind of detailing U.S. suppliers charge a heavy markup for.
- The full-glass corner nobody wants to touch: the design called for a full-glass corner built in the same system as the rest — a manufacturing challenge many producers simply refuse.
- Damage-prone, non-standard elements: several products were inherently fragile, so any dimension error or technical surprise meant costly rework on site.
The Solution: custom-made full-glass corner
Rather than pay U.S. luxury markups, debesto ran a value-engineering approach and assigned its two most experienced people: Patryk Łakucewicz (business) and Agata Toczek (technical) to the account. It started with a free 30-minute consult to pin down needs and confirm the numbers: importing from Poland would save at least 40%.
From there it came down to system selection. Weighing Cortizo against Aluprof, the team landed on the Aluprof family for two concrete reasons: it’s more energy-efficient than the Cortizo Cor-70, and the Aluprof family runs about 20% cheaper.
For the renovation, standard framed doors were swapped for frameless Cortizo Cor Vision glass doors, where glass covers over 94% of the unit, opening up the light flow. The hardest piece – the full-glass corner – was designed and certified together with a trusted producer, clearing the technical bar that scares off most manufacturers.
40% Saved, Nothing Left to Chance
Priced before you commit
A free consultation confirmed the 40%+ saving on importing European Windows before a single order was placed.
The corner others refuse
debesto designed and certified the full-glass corner with a trusted producer
No reframing on site
A business and a technical consultant reviewed every non-standard detail so nothing arrived wrong.
The Result: ~50% lower cost and an 11-project partnership
By sourcing through debesto instead of a U.S. provider, Jacek cut his window and door costs by roughly 50% – around $40,000 saved against the U.S. price on these projects, with transport from Poland handled at 44% below the going rate. Both the non-standard corner and the frameless doors were delivered to spec, so the architect’s vision held without on-site reframing.
The strongest proof isn’t a single number, though – it’s repetition. What started on a referral became a long-term partnership: debesto and Jacek have now launched their 11th project together. For a builder who buys on “quality and verified solutions,” coming back eleven times is the clearest economic vote there is.
