How to choose the right company?

What we are guided by choosing one or another product? Appearance - certainly the quality of products - of course, low price - again, "yes," manufacturer's warranty - also an important aspect. So, when choosing any product is the main criterion value for money.

When choosing wooden windows users primarily oriented to the appearance of products, prices and terms of manufacturing. Which of these options are really important and to what extent?
Wooden euro-windows are designed for at least fifty years of service. So the first question - the reliability, the second-look. Both depend on the quality and technology.
First of all, should understand clearly what you imagine your windows. Ask questions of the manager of the manufacturer about how their products meet your requirements. The competent manager of any self-respecting company accurately describe to you all the technological aspects of their products and offer affordable options for your packaging and design solutions.
Regarding prices, it is clear that the cheaper windows, the cheaper cost of their installation, the less time they will please their masters.
But on the other hand, how to protect yourself from the empty overpayment? After all, the high price may also not be a guarantee of quality.
Pay attention to the proposed discount. Typically, those who can easily afford to discount of 15% or more, before deliberately "pull up" prices, and hence their initial high price - not a guarantee of quality.
Large manufacturers have their own network of suppliers of materials and products, including fine wood, quality windows, reliable hardware and paint compositions. In addition, for use expensive modern equipment, on which the manufactured products meet the requirements of European standards. Of course, prices for such products may not be low, but mostly they are due to the high cost of quality materials, and therefore, in this case the price is a guarantee of product quality.
What can save? Conventionally, these parameters can be divided into recommended:
1. You can use cheaper wood. 2. Use bonded wood instead of whole. 3. Find optimal configuration of windows by the number and size of the valves.
not recommended:
1. Use low-cost hardware, its lifetime will be released before the expiration of the warranty period on their own windows. 2. Use instead of the compound "double tongue & groove" other types of connections. 3. Use a cheap protective and decorative coatings.
Also prices of quality windows and guarantee their smooth operation directly affect the integrity and responsibility of the company - the manufacturer. For example, if you promise to make a wooden box for 2-3 weeks, there is reason to think.
Do not hesitate to long periods of production (2-2,5 months): compared with life, which are designed high-quality windows, this moment, which will be quickly forgotten. It is also true the opposite: lower production times, resulting in lower quality windows will be remembered for a long time.
Often, long-term production testifies to the high demand for the products of this company: any sensible industrialist interested in shortening the time of manufacture, just a responsible leader does not do so at the expense of quality. And in the end, despite the large production times, turn to his shop does not melt.
Thus, the main question remains: how to approach the selection of the company?
Ask whether the company has long worked in wood? Typically, five-year term on the Russian market - is quite significant: if during this time the company managed to acquire a good reputation, therefore, it can be trusted. Normally, if the name or brand recorded relatively recently, but the company actually exists and works with wood products for a long time. The new brand in any case does not come cheap, and the risk of "old" company is not going.
Find out where the objects of the company, whether or not to trust the elite building. The fact that the company kilometers drained high-rise buildings, the quality of the windows still says nothing. The most nagging overseers - owners and developers of expensive private villas and apartments.
If the manager working with clients is competent enough to answer all your questions on order, we can safely move to a more detailed study of the windows themselves. Inspect samples, try them as convenient to open and close, well I fixed sash in the desired position, how well inflicted decorative and protective coating.
Ask who will install the windows, because of how well organized installation of windows, depends largely on the life of window constructions. Experienced qualified to perform the installation of windows installation work in accordance with the requirements of GOST 30971-2002 "Stitches assembly of joints of windows to wall openings. In addition, for your own peace of mind ask feedback from previous customers, and if you want to learn how to face the window in "natural conditions" are not too lazy to go and look at them at least from the street.
The guarantee given by the manufacturer on their products, also helps you understand whether or not to trust the company. Too little time (1 year) said that the company does not assume full responsibility for their own products. The warranty period of 20 years and more clearly unrealistic, so called them to the companies seriously not worth it.
So, we list the main criteria for deciding to evaluate the reputation of the firm.
1. Experience. The presence of finished expensive private projects. Age of the firm.
2. Real time and real prices, the normal discount.
3. Openness. Fair company, who knows his business and fulfill customer orders on time, ready to provide all the information - both about myself and about the production, coatings, fittings, installation technology.
4. The quality of materials and technologies: Eurowindows evrokachestva - a European woodworking machines, Siberian wood without defects (knots, blue stain), a strong joint (double tongue-and-groove), European fittings (Siegen, Roto, Maco), polished float glass, special import elastic coating designed for exterior wood (Tsovosan, Zikkens, Tecnos, Remmers, etc.).
5. The warranty on the windows and installation work. Too little or too much life assurance you need cheerleaders. The most prevalent among the manufacturers began a three-year warranty, but some of the company, confident in the quality of their product guarantee 5 years of uninterrupted work.
We have tried to analyze and explain all the aspects that will help you make the right choice.
