Hello everyone,
I am slowly but surely gathering all the necessary quotes. Currently, I’m a bit stuck when it comes to the windows.
I have three quotes from different manufacturers in total. The prices and appearance of two offers don’t differ much (around 3000 Euro) and the U-value is quite similar too, 0.69 compared to 0.67.
The third offer, however, is much cheaper, about 8000 Euro less, but the U-value here is only 0.74.
Otherwise, the windows are the same (PVC/aluminum).
My question is whether the difference from 0.74 to 0.67 can actually be noticed, or if it is so minimal that it never really pays off.
Just based on feeling, I would tend to choose the best U-value... but the question is whether it makes financial sense or if it’s just a design decision.
Thank you very much.
P.S.: The windows are not relevant for any KfW rating; all the windows meet the necessary requirements.

The price range was from 18,000 to 26,000 Euros.
We are currently still in negotiations with the two remaining offers.
