When the Nørgaard family decided to build a new house, one thing was especially important - the windows. They had to be stylish, functional and maintenance-free. Their previous house had mahogany windows that needed treatment twice a year. The windows of the new house are aluminium clad on the outside and don’t require regular maintenance. On the inside, the painted wood surface gives exactly the feeling the family wanted.
Before renovating their new home, the Nowaks studied the windows and glazed doors to see what needed done. Some windows were in too poor condition to be renovated, others just didn’t fit the style of the house, being made from PVC. The couple decided to replace all windows with new ones that had a light wooden frame. They were more in line with the design of the house and significantly improved energy efficiency compared to the old windows.
By chance, the Lindberg Family found a beautiful plot of land in a hilly area of dense pine forest. An architect was challenged to design a home that would blend with the surrounding nature. The result, a spectacular wooden house with large windows that gave a sense of being part of the forest. The Lindbergs chose exclusive, customised wood-frame windows which suited the design of the house and blended with the surrounding nature.
After inheriting a summer house, the Karonen family decided to rebuild it to make it suitable for winter living. They replaced most of the wooden facade which had taken a beating from the moist sea winds. They insulated the walls and roof, replaced most of the interior and re-painted. And to round off, they replaced all the windows and doors. With more energy-effective windows and doors, they could now enjoy comfort on cold winter weekends, be assured that their house was draft-free and keep their energy bill comfortably low.
When building company BuildCorp planned the procurement of windows, doors and exterior doors, they looked for a reliable supplier with acclaimed excellence in all three product groups. They knew that well-known brands raises the attractiveness of their products and services. They chose the supplier, though not cheapest, that offered the best mix of energy effectiveness, delivery, service and product quality.
