ᐅ Scratches on the Window – Defect?

We have purchased a new apartment and noticed a scratch on the window. It has now been painted over. We are not really satisfied with this. However, we have been told that it could not be done any better. What is your opinion on this?

Cosmetic defect with a value of max. 50€ (approx. 54 USD). No more than a touch-up will be done.

Hello

As before, that works fine.
I don’t even see the 50 € there.
Visually, the dust stands out to me more.

That will be the highlight of the sloppiness in your apartment. Unbelievable!

Hello,

In my opinion, this does not even qualify as a defect. The damaged area is clearly outside the visible field and, compared to the usual viewing distance and angle, is hardly noticeable.

There is a kind of touch-up pen with a film-like coating that can be used to repair small scratches. However, in my view, your window installer probably won’t do this.

I can understand your concerns, though. When buying an apartment, the opinions of construction companies or developers and buyers often differ (speaking from experience on the construction company side). Fortunately, there are standards in place and ideally an expert present during handover who can clarify these discussions immediately.

Best regards,
Jann

My opinion is that you can be very satisfied if that is the biggest flaw. It's hardly worth mentioning. Of course, it is nonsense that it couldn't be done better.
