VERMAK is a Minnesota manufacturer of European-style uPVC windows and doors. Profiles come from GEALAN in Germany. Hardware comes from Winkhaus. Insulated glass is sourced from Cardinal. The units themselves are cut, welded, glazed, and hardware-fitted in the Twin Cities — currently from our Coon Rapids operation, with a dedicated 17,920-square-foot manufacturing building approved for Evergreen Business Park on Holly Street.
Not a reseller
A finished European window shipped from overseas is a different product than a unit fabricated here to a Minnesota rough opening. Local manufacturing means we control steel reinforcement, weld quality, glass package, and lead time. It also means a builder in Plymouth or a homeowner in Rochester is not waiting on an ocean container for a replacement sash.
What we put in every unit
GEALAN multi-chamber uPVC profiles (S 8000 and LINEAR).
Winkhaus multi-point hardware for tilt, turn, and locking.
Cardinal insulated glass, including triple-pane and low-E packages suited to Northern Zone winters.
Steel reinforcement in the main chamber so large sashes stay square.
Built for Minnesota winters
Compression seals, multi-chamber frames, and a proper glass package are how you keep heat in and condensation down at -20°F. That is the job these windows were designed for in Central and Northern Europe, and it is why we fabricate them here instead of asking a typical American slider to do the same work.
Lead times and next step
Send plans, a window schedule, or photos of existing openings. We quote from Coon Rapids, fabricate to measure, and install in the Twin Cities metro. Outside the metro we supply builders and coordinated install partners across Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Request a quote at vermakwindows.com/contact.
