Not long ago, I signed a purchase agreement for an old house that belonged to my late uncle. I was very happy about it because I remember this historic building from my childhood when the area was still part of Germany. I want to spend my retirement there, but now there is a major problem with the windows. Although the house is generally in poor condition, the renovation should proceed without major difficulties—except for the windows.
The window frames I want to install are too small. I am afraid standard windows won’t work. So my question to you is: do you have any ideas where I can buy good, custom-made windows? Price is not the main issue for me—the flexibility of the manufacturer matters most.
Best regards, Egon

I had to look up first what exactly a Junkershaus is 😉

That’s why my question to you: Do you perhaps have any idea where I can buy cute, custom-made windows?? It’s not so much about the price; for me, flexibility on the part of the manufacturer is key.

Hello,
Window sellers, of course, see this completely differently! ;-)

.... Although this house is generally in poor condition, the renovation will not cause further difficulties except for the windows....
