Are European windows better than American profiles?

In our opinion – usually yes, especially if they are made out of aluminum. The only caveat is that not all European products meet the standards of the specific American state, still, they guarantee:

  • durability and resistance to weather conditions, corrosion, or scratches for many years
  • a wide range of solutions (e.g., tilt-and-turn, bi-fold, fixed windows)
  • easier and more efficient ventilation
  • more favorable thermal parameters
  • greater soundproofing, waterproofing, and security
  • the possibility of making a large structure or personalization, e.g. hiding the wing
  • a wide range of colors and finishes
  • fitting aesthetically to many architectural styles
  • easier maintenance and cleaning
  • opening effortlessly and without risk

Are European Windows affordable?

Definitely. Based on the cost of Polish windows, which are distinguished in the European market by their low price and high quality, those windows are up to 40% cheaper than American systems.

Additionally, Poland is full of renowned aluminum systems manufacturers like Aluprof, Aliplast, Yawal and Ponzio. For that reason, the Polish window business is characterized by competitive prices that debesto as a broker can present objectively and then point out the best option straight to you

What does the price comparison look like in practice? For example, let’s choose a tilt window 40 × 40″ with 2 panes, in Poland, you will pay $350, while in the States the average cost of such a window is more than $500, but keep in mind the significant difference in quality.
