Cheap transport to the UK and fast delivery time – Case Study Kacper Burski
Who have we helped with importing windows from Poland?
Mr. Kacper is a busy owner of several businesses. The most important branch of his business is the construction industry and the assembly of door and window joinery. He has been doing this for over 10 years. In addition, Mr. Kacper rents out warehouse spaces to others.
It operates in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle and the surrounding area. He has been cooperating with debesto for 9 months. He was looking for a comprehensive supplier from Poland with competitive prices of products. It was an intense time because we have already completed 3 projects and we are in the process of two new ones.
The challenge
The first project was an old factory. The owner wanted to replace the window joinery in the building, because the old structures were already leaky and thus caused large energy losses, and high costs. The project assumed the replacement of old wooden windows with PVC windows. In addition, he wanted to reproduce the appearance of the old windows that were there before.
Windows, doors and the gate required replacement. That is why Mr. Kacper was looking for a joinery supplier who would have all the necessary products in one place. In addition, it was important to find a competitive price for the products needed when selecting the best offer.
Solution found
Market research
Client advisor Stanisław Błoszko had to reproduce the division according to the look of old windows, so he found PVC profiles that would most closely resemble old windows. He compared the structures on the profiles: Gealan 8000, Aluplast Ideal 4000 and Decco 71.
The two systems, Decco 71 and Aluplast Ideal 4000, presented the most similar appearance.
To obtain a similar appearance to the old windows, Stanisław used glazing bars in the classic version. The next step was to establish the divisions. In the windows, apart from the construction posts, muntin bars reflecting the old divisions have been added. According to this specification, the debesto advisor compared offers from several suppliers to find the best price.
Presentation of the optimal variant
Our consultant chose the Aluplast Ideal 4000 profile. It won thanks to the price, being 7% cheaper than Decco 71. Another advantage was the fast production time of 2 weeks, which meant that the first stage of joinery replacement could begin soon.
The order was very large, so our consultant advised Mr. Kacper to divide the implementation into stages. The first stage concerned the replacement of the window joinery, and the second stage concerned the replacement of doors and gates. This made storage and assembly easier.
Due to this decision, the renovation did not interfere with the normal use of the facility. It was possible to divide the investment into stages thanks to the low transport prices in debesto.
What has the client gained?
- hardly available product matched to expectations
- all in 1 – the client ordered all the necessary products in one place
- cheap transport – Poland -> Great Britain 199 pounds
- quick implementation time – windows on the construction site after 3 weeks
- savings of EUR 2 500 compared to the price in the UK
We started cooperation with debesto in 2020. Windows and other products offered by this company are of really high quality, as is the service. Professional advice and extensive technical knowledge make it easier to choose the right product. The attractive price of the products and the low cost of transport are also important. So far, we have had no problems with orders and transport, everything went smoothly and quickly. I heartily recommend the debesto company.
