Hello!
I have been working for quite some time on a retirement home near Offenbach in Hessen. I decided to do something with the dining room lighting, but unexpected difficulties arose. The windows are very difficult to modify, and I will probably have to change the entire frame structure to even have a chance of implementing my lighting concept.
Since I will most likely be experimenting a lot, I first need a fairly reliable yet affordable window manufacturer—something like the IKEA of window manufacturers.
Does anyone have any creative ideas?

You should also mention that when windows need to meet the requirements of the energy-saving regulations or are installed here in Germany by the seller, the different standards become quite apparent.
This is something my clients (of Polish origin) have just recently discovered. Once a truly comparable situation was established, our clients decided to keep the windows included in our scope of supply, as the remaining savings were so minimal that the entire effort was no longer worthwhile.
Best regards, Bauexperte

Hello! I am Polish and I recommend, for example, Oknoplast, Vitron, or Drutex. Good quality and most importantly, lower prices than German manufacturers.

steffanie16 Apr 2014 23:36@Kisska86 The collaboration was excellent! They put in a lot of effort and you feel very valued. It all started at the building trade fairs where Vitron showcased its products. I spoke a little with these people; they told me about their products and also gave me a sample price, which I really liked. I took a chance and I don't regret it. They are Polish manufacturers and said they received training here.
Guys! You’re talking about a new Polish company. Is it really worth buying their windows? I know they are cheaper than ours, but is their quality just as good? I’m just starting to build my house. On one hand, foreign offers are very affordable, but on the other hand, I’m worried whether everything will be alright.
Well, whether the goods are okay will probably only become clear afterwards. I have now found a German installer near me who exclusively sells Polish windows and has been doing so for over 10 years. His references are good, and he has been very friendly and helpful so far. Let’s see what the offer says when it arrives. *excited* But generally, I’m not opposed to it. For example, the frame profiles from Schüco, or whatever the company is called, are also manufactured in Poland and delivered to Germany in long sections by the meter (yard). There, they are just cut to size and assembled... so I don’t think it’s really “Made in Germany” anymore, is it?
