Hello,

Does anyone have experience with Salamander windows or have them installed in their home?

We received a pretty good offer for the BlueEvolution 82 and now we are wondering
if we should go with them....

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Christian

I would recommend every builder invest the 54€ in purchasing the "Guide for Planning and Execution of the Installation of Windows and Exterior Doors for New Construction and Renovation" from the RAL Quality Association. It basically contains all the necessary information. You might even be able to find a used copy (current edition from 2014).

To avoid a situation where the operation is successful but the patient dies: there are window suppliers who send subcontractors to install the windows; these subcontractors just roughly fit the windows into the house, resulting in pitiful window reveals and excessive use of expanding foam. Proper installation starts with accurate measurements. This means that you can only derive a quote from the plan and must wait for the actual shell of the building to be completed before placing the order.

Ok, so I’ve actually found a "good one"... He installs the windows himself and only orders them after taking the measurements himself!

Alternatively, you can hire an expert to supervise and inspect the installation...

It is still worth questioning why it is so much cheaper.

So far, I have obtained five quotes regarding the windows... This one is not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive, and so far one of the few that seems trustworthy! Whether the installation will be carried out professionally and neatly can probably only be seen afterwards, but that risk exists with the others as well.

Just ask him how he installs it. Does he follow RAL standards?
Is it foil installation or just compression tape? Or even foam party?
