Check the price!The podium is rather tight in this category. This shows both how much Looking at this category’s scoring, one could say that the difference lies in the details. Gealan 8000 wins the quality ranking. Right behind the winner there are the Decco 82 and Salamander Streamline 76 systems.
So what determined the victory? First of all, the lowest Uw = 1.3. Secondly, total system completeness. On the basis of this profile you can construct all types of windows and doors. An additional advantage consists in the best and reliable Siegenia Titan AF fittings, which gave Gealan an advantage over Decco 82 which took the second place.
Alternative product: Decco 82
An alternative for Gealan is the system that took the second position in this ranking: Decco 82. This is a good alternative in two cases.
The first one takes place when the client wants something cheaper. Choosing Decco 82 will result in savings of 5%.
The second case consists in close deadlines. Then it is also worth considering the purchase of Decco 82. The production time for this system is a week less.
In case of Decco the Uw is as high as for Gealan. However, Gealan wins when it comes to fittings. Decco 82 includes Roto NT fittings. These are premium fittings, so they should not cause any problems, although using the windows will not be as convenient as in the case of Gealan.

The Decco 82 system won the price and quality category. The lowest price helped it to do so. However, one cannot forget about the excellent parameters and the shortest production time. Decco is a very popular and time-proven product, which results in high profitability. However, the best information is that the great quality goes hand in hand with a low price.
Gealan 8000 took the second place in this category. This system falls 0.13 behind Decco 82. Therefore, it is a real alternative and a proposition for those who want to have a guarantee of the highest quality fittings and are willing to pay 5% more for it in relation to the price of Decco 82. However, the choice depends on the client’s capabilities and what that person cares about the most. Remember that when you choose Gealan you have to wait on average a week longer for the order to be processed.

We checked how it can translate into real savings for your clients. There are many energy calculators available on the web – we used the one at www.oszczednydom.pl.
For the test set of windows with an area of approx. 20 m2, differences at the level of 0.01-0.05 bring savings of a dozen or so zlotys per year (!). From an economic point of view, this is not a significant difference. The money spent on a more expensive system with a Uw warmer of 0.05 will probably never pay off.
The situation is different if you have a tender requirement with a clearly defined heat transfer coefficient for the windows. Only for this need, we present a list of the warmest window systems with price and score.
Utilizing our experience, we assessed each system in the ranking of aluminium lift and slide windows in terms of the quality of the assembly plant of the finished product. Even the best system, assembled by a poor manufacturer, will be of mediocre quality. We considered two aspects:
The disadvantage of Rehau Synego 70 consists in the long waiting time for production as well as delays that happen from time to time. Take this into consideration and inform the clients about it when they want to buy this product, because it can help them make the right choice.
The waiting time for the valuation of PVC systems included on our list is comparable for all manufacturers and usually comes down to 1 working day. Thanks to this, your client can quickly receive a reliable quote.
By choosing these systems, we can carry out all types of construction, starting from façade windows, through balcony windows with a low threshold or falling threshold, lift-and-slide windows, or panel doors. All of this resulted in that each of the ranking systems received as many as 3 points.
