EnglishChoosing windows can feel daunting: so many materials, systems, glass types and finishes. The decision becomes simple when it is taken in layers, in the right order. This is the route we follow with every client, and the one you can follow through our catalogues.
Always decide in this order: 1) material, 2) profile system, 3) glazing and 4) hardware and finishes. Each choice narrows the next and keeps you from getting lost in options.
1 · The material
Start with the material, which sets both character and budget: timber for warmth and renovation, PVC for the best efficiency per euro, aluminium for minimal sightlines and large openings, steel for security and an industrial look. If you are unsure, we advise based on your house and your priorities.
2 · The profile system
Within each material there are systems with different depths and chamber counts. The greater the construction depth, the better the insulation — and the higher the cost. The catalogues show each system with its performance figures, so you can match the choice to what the project demands.
3 · The glazing
Glass accounts for half the performance. Double or triple, solar control for south-facing façades, acoustic for urban frontages, safety glass where it is needed. This is where thermal and acoustic comfort is fine-tuned, within the system already chosen.
4 · Hardware and finishes
Finally, the details you live with every day: the opening type (tilt-and-turn, sliding, fixed), the hardware and the colour. Any RAL or NCS, handles, security locks. This is the layer that tailors the window to the taste and the use of each room.
