Germany has long been recognised as a global leader in energy-efficient construction, particularly in the development of high-performance windows.

German window manufacturers are at the forefront of world trade. The international demand for their products is continuously high, and rightfully so: windows from Germany offer an exceptionally high quality of craft, production techniques and durability.

Made in Germany: Expertise and Innovation

The slogan “Made in Germany” is widely acknowledged as proof of above-average quality and innovative products.

German window manufacturers are maintaining and increasing their building standards by constantly improving their production techniques and the technical details of their window profiles. The careful selection of high-quality materials is an elementary component of the entire production process.

Therefore, it is not surprising that window manufacturers from Germany are among the best in the world. PVC, timber, wood-aluminium and aluminium windows “Made in Germany” are internationally in great demand.

 

Pioneering Window Design

Germany is the birthplace of the tilt and turn window, invented in the early 20th century. Today they are the standard window type used in Germany and most of Western Europe.

Tilt and turn windows have several benefits compared to other window options, including safe ventilation, easy maintenance, high safety features and quality insulation. They can also be opened flexibly in two ways: fully inwards and tilted from the bottom.

The German window system proved itself so efficient that it was quickly adopted by other European countries, demonstrating its outstanding performance.

Nowadays, tilt and turn windows are manufactured in many countries, often offering the same quality as German windows, like those from Austria and Poland.

Strict Building Regulations Drive Innovation

Germany enforces some of the strictest energy efficiency standards in the world through its EnEV legislation. These regulations have pushed manufacturers to innovate continuously, resulting in the development of high-performance triple- and quadruple-glazed window systems.

These advanced systems, engineered to minimise heat loss and maximise comfort, are exclusively available through ECOWINDOWS in New Zealand.

Certified Performance

One organisation responsible for regularly monitoring manufacturers is the renowned and internationally accredited Institute for Window Technology (IFT) Rosenheim, which is based in Germany and specialises in assessing the performance of European windows and doors.

All ECOWINDOWS products are rigorously tested and certified by the IFT Rosenheim. The windows and doors must pass a series of detailed and strict tests to prove their exceptional air permeability, watertightness, and resistance to wind load.

The tests are implemented according to the highest European standards (EN and ISO) and ensure the best quality, efficiency, and safety of our double- and triple-glazed windows and entry doors. The results are then assessed for compliance with the New Zealand Building Code.

This rigorous testing procedure allows ECOWINDOWS to offer our New Zealand customers windows and doors with the highest quality and durability.
