Hello everyone,
I am currently working on my house design together with our planner, and he recommends wood-aluminum windows. He said that if he were to build again, that would be his preferred choice. Another construction company told me that they install 90% PVC windows from Rehau and have never had any issues with them. They also mentioned that the additional cost of about €10,000 (approximately $11,000) for all the windows is not worth it.
What is your opinion on this?

rough additional cost 10,000€ total --> All windows in wood-aluminum instead of uPVCAlready clear – but all in uPVC cost 25,000 or 40,000 – what exactly accounts for the extra ten thousand?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

What is the reason for the ten thousand plus?Maybe it’s similar to my fixed-price contract, where all windows made of uPVC are included in the standard flat house price?Tolentino schrieb:
Maybe it’s like with my main contractor, who includes all plastic windows as standard in the fixed total house price?Exactly, I didn’t understand the question because it seemed totally clear to me.
The main contractor includes plastic windows as standard, so they are factored into the house price. An optional upgrade to wood-aluminum windows costs an additional 10k.
Then an interesting question for me would be what credit he would give you if you remove the windows...
Not that this is my recommendation, I’m just currently dealing with the same issue with my general contractor (with whom I have already signed) who is being very difficult about special requests concerning the windows.
So far, he has not given me a satisfactory answer to my inquiry about what credit I would receive...

So far, he hasn’t given me a satisfactory answer when I asked what credit I would get... Definitely... that will also be my question at the next meeting.

Nowadays, I would go for uPVC windows. The benefits of wood-aluminum windows are minimal, but the price difference is significant. We have wood-aluminum, and next time I would choose uPVC.
I would also opt for soundproof glass and different bricks, no more hollow ones. Overall, that costs about 10,000 euros (around 11,000 USD) and you get much more value than from wood-aluminum windows.Which bricks did you choose?
We’re also close to deciding. The developer recommends Poroton – but whoever you ask, you get many different opinions.
One person says it’s great, another says avoid it because of issues with hanging heavy cabinets, etc.
