How to Choose Perfect Windows for Your Home and Not Make a Mistake with the Manufacturer
Choosing new windows is much more than just buying “glass in a frame.” It’s a fundamental investment in the comfort, security, and energy efficiency of your home for decades to come. A modern window construction is a complex engineering system, the quality of which determines not only the indoor temperature, but also the level of street noise, protection against break-ins, and the overall aesthetics of your interior and exterior. However, the Ukrainian market is overflowing with offers, which often leads to consumer confusion.
The key dilemma that needs to be understood before starting your search lies in distinguishing between the concepts of “profile manufacturer” and “window manufacturer.” World-renowned brands such as Rehau, Veka, Salamander, or Aluplast are actually developers and manufacturers of PVC profiles—high-tech raw materials from which frames and sashes are made. They do not produce ready-made windows. Window manufacturers are Ukrainian factories and companies, such as Steko, Viknar’off, “Ekipazh,” or “Gazda,” which purchase profiles, reinforce them with metal, install glass packages and hardware, and ultimately assemble the finished construction. The quality of the final product depends not so much on the famous name on the profile, but rather on the production culture, equipment precision, and qualifications of the installers of the specific manufacturing plant. Often a consumer may complain about “bad Rehau windows,” when in reality the problem lies in poor assembly or installation performed by a local manufacturer using that profile. Understanding this nuance allows you to ask the right questions: not “What windows do you install?” but “Who and how manufactures windows from your chosen profile?”
