The Challenge: The exceptional quality for high-end home
Roland is a New York developer who builds luxury homes for resale on Long Island. He already knew Polish windows were high quality, that’s why he wanted to import, so the challenge wasn’t taste. It was this: get windows good enough to help sell a high-end home, at a price the U.S. market couldn’t match, from a supplier he’d never bought from before.
Quality that helps sell the home: building for resale, the windows had to be top-tier to keep the property competitive and appealing to buyers.
High quality at a fair price: in the U.S., genuinely high-quality windows at a reasonable price were hard to find and for Roland this was about quality first, not just cost.
A supplier he could trust from a distance: before committing to import, he needed fast, clear communication – enough to risk a small first step.
The Solution: High-performance slidings and large pivot doors
Roland didn’t start big – he ordered just two windows first, to test the experience. What sold him was responsiveness: once he saw that communication was quick and clear, he felt assured enough to scale up. From there, debesto’s consultant Patryk, with colleague Veronica, proposed a set of aluminum systems balancing quality, thermal efficiency, modern design, and value for money.
The line-up was Aluprof MB-79N for tilt-and-turn and fixed windows, Aluprof MB-77HS for lift-and-slide doors, and Reynaers Masterline 8 for pivot doors – with custom glazing including cool-lite sunproof, tempered and soundproof options, laminated-plus-tempered safety glass on the doors, double or triple panes, and a modern anthracite finish.
Half the price, 2–3× the quality
Half the U.S. price
Roughly 50% savings versus comparable U.S. windows, on a product two to three times the quality
Quality buyers notice
High-performance aluminum with modern design raised the property’s value for resale
Proof before commitment
A window sample set let Roland test the responsiveness first, then scale with confidence
The Result: 50% saved on windows worth 2–3× more
After a detailed, window-by-window and door-by-door review of the schedule with Roland and his architect, the team landed on the optimal set. The windows were delivered and the home went to market.
In Roland’s own account, the economics were decisive: even when a better-fitting option ran 10–20% more, he still came out saving 50% compared to U.S.-made windows for a product two to three times the quality. For a developer building to sell, that’s value that lands in both the finished look and the budget.

“At the beginning, I ordered two windows just to get the experience first. The point of entry really focused on Patrick, the salesperson, and his responsiveness. The moment I knew we were communicating quickly and effectively, I felt assured.
He always strives to find the most cost-effective solution, but even if it’s an additional 10% or 20%, we still get exactly what we want or fantastic features.
It’s not that much more of a charge because typically we’re saving 50% compared to the cost of windows manufactured in the US, for a product that’s two or three times the quality.”
