FAQ

Yes! Both the Ideal 4000 and BluEvo82 are NFRC rated. European windows have been being imported into the US for decades before they received this certification and we have yet to hear of anyone having issues with local jurisdictions questioning these windows. These windows are way beefier and way more thermally efficient than your typical US manufactured vinyl window.

Ordering our windows is similar to other suppliers. The first step is a conversation to understand what your performance, design and budget requirements are. Once we have that covered we'll narrow in on a product line that will best meet your needs and start spec'ing out your window schedule. At this point we'll choose colors, window operations, and any customizations you like. Once we have a final window bid put together its time to order. Ordering requires a 50% deposit at time of order, followed by 40% at time of shipment with the remaining 10% due at delivery.

This is hugely variable depending on window system. One of our favorite high performance windows is the Bluevo82 window. For an entire house project on average this system costs between $40 and $50 per square foot of glazing. This obviously varies based on options, but that is a pretty competitive price point for a triple glazed window with a U factor between .12 and .14 depending on window size and operation.

Windows are delivered direct to your jobsite. We order windows by the container load and can usually group a couple projects in one container. We will then have the shipping company bring that container to your site. You will need to have a crew available to remove the windows from the container.

You bet! We work with architects and designers all the time that are working towards all sorts of levels of certification...Passiv, NetZero, etc. We've got you covered when it comes to technical product info. Just reach out!

This could be a very long answer if you want all the technical details. The short answer is they are far higher performance and more customizable than standard US windows. All the windows we sell are far more air tight and thermally efficient than windows typically used in the US. For any given model of window there are typically 5-10 different thicknesses of glazing you can install in the frames. Each of these glazings have different thermal and light transmission properties. Also, all the windows we sell can come in pretty much any color you want. All this allows us to create the perfect custom window for our clients that meets their design requirements for aesthetics and thermal performance.

This depends on several factors. UPVC systems are typically manufactured within 3 weeks of order with Aluminum systems taking slightly longer. After that its all about shipping. Typically we can ship windows to the East Coast of the US in about 6 weeks. The West Coast takes a chunk longer...plan on 8-10 weeks...though if you need them faster we have ways to do that as well. Its always best to check with us on current production and shipping times but these are very rough estimates.
