Hello and greetings!

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

Hello Egon,

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

The carpenter will be the right contact person for you.

There is a well-known rule among professionals that windows should always be the "designed weak point" when it comes to condensation! This means: the overall U-value of the windows should always be worse or at most equal to the U-value of the exterior wall!
Window sellers, of course, see this completely differently! ;-)
