FAQ
Common questions
1
What are European windows?
They are window systems built to European standards: multi-chamber uPVC (we use German GEALAN profiles), insulated glass, and hardware that locks on several points. Most of them tilt and turn. They insulate and quiet a room better than typical American hung or sliding windows.

Are uPVC windows good for Minnesota winters?
Yes. That is the climate they are specified for. The frame does not rot or warp in the cold. Multi-chamber profiles, argon-filled double or triple glazing, and warm-edge spacers hold heat in and cut drafts.
3
What is a tilt-and-turn window?
One handle, two motions. Tilt the top inward for secure ventilation. Turn it further and the sash swings inward like a door for full air and for cleaning the exterior from inside.
5
Do these windows reduce condensation?
Condensation forms when warm indoor air hits a cold pane. We spec glass and spacers so the room-side surface stays warmer, and the frame seals so you are not washing that gap with outdoor air.

Do you manufacture, or only resell?
We fabricate in Coon Rapids using GEALAN systems and European hardware, then install, OR deliver them to job site where they are installed by the owner, or contractor. Address: 1281 114th Ave NW, Suite 220, Coon Rapids, MN 55448.
