Hello everyone,

Since I know there are experienced homebuilders here who have probably dealt with the window question before – and even a former window manufacturer ([USER=32750]@11ant) – I have a question:
Who has installed aluminum windows in a single-family house? What are your experiences with them? Or who has deliberately decided against them, and why?
We currently have offers for aluminum windows and wood-aluminum windows. The prices are not that far apart.
We want the aluminum windows on the ground floor because we have large lift-and-slide doors and fixed glass elements there, and we want slim profiles. However, in the children’s rooms and bedrooms, there is some concern about a “office-like atmosphere.”
So our decision is purely based on assumptions/feelings, and I would appreciate opinions and experiences from the forum members.
Thanks, GD

Heilbronn? Neckar region?

In the background, you can see the Löwensteiner Mountains.

Was that just a wild guess or an actual identification? There are plenty of similar hills around here 😉

Living on the other side; Aspach 😉

That seemed familiar to me right away

We have had wood/aluminum windows from Internorm for almost 15 years. I wouldn’t want to be without them! Wood is simply wonderful, and I fall in love with the windows anew every day. The only problem that has come up since we moved in with two cats is that they run along the edge of the patio door and jump upwards, digging their claws into the wood. As a result, the window frame shows some wear.
