ᐅ Window Sizes and Interior Doors

True, it’s really cheap.
However, I wouldn’t plan my house based on that.
If the goal is to keep costs low, then it’s okay.

Yes, it seems the Polish still have storage capacity...
Nowadays, it is common to have products custom-made, as storage space is no longer cost-effective. Producing standard sizes is said to cost the same as custom sizes. At least, that’s what our window manufacturer told us.

Normally, measurements are taken during the shell construction phase, and then production takes place. There are always special cases. In our situation, the windows are already being produced even though the shell construction is not yet completed. However, it is a different system and requires meticulous planning and execution.

As a former window manufacturer, I can’t confirm that: not having to reset machines for every single unit, but rather running hundreds of units of the same size, does save a noticeable amount. This applies not only to the frame with all trims and seals but also to the glazing. So, the savings add up. The logistics are also different: if I have one unit 257 cm (101 inches) wide and another 259 cm (102 inches) wide, I have to label them carefully to avoid mix-ups on site. In storage, it’s easier too: with identical sizes, I can take pallets from the left or right side interchangeably, depending on convenience.

Only for the installer—especially in a single-family house with twenty-five windows in nineteen different sizes—does it not make a difference whether the windows are a standard size or a custom measurement.

I do not want to contradict a former window manufacturer.

But maybe the small word former simply makes the difference here

but running hundreds of pieces of the same size at once does save noticeably.

However, it does not make sense if there is no demand for that discontinued size

That is exactly the point: warehouses used to exist, nowadays storage is known to be no longer profitable.
Just search for buying windows online. There, you do business with custom-made products.

That was in 2014, by then Kaiser Wilhelm had been dead for a long time

We did that; it was a major reason for abandoning our own production. Homeowners miscalculate various supposed must-haves (which they don’t actually need, but after all, the Hoppenstedts have them too), and the windows end up being the trade where they try to recoup that cost with deep discounting.
