KittenKong Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Veka profiles are German. Chinese profiles are made in China. The price difference is due to that, with the assumption being that the German ones are better quality. I would say that it's more to the point to look at samples of both sorts of profile and see how well made they appear to be. Given the relatively small price difference I would probably go with the German ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Those must be some incredible UPVC windows to be that expensive. Do you mind posting what size are the windows and what style, ie casement, single hung, sliding, awning. I'm familiar with Vignet UPVC windows fabricated in Buriram province and it would have to be quite large of windows to be over 50K each. Are the windows laminated or tempured or treated to prevent breakage? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi they are Veka brand which are the best in the world - 3.2 meters wide and 2.7 meters high here is a photo (not of the actual windows but this shows the style) One advice, stay far away from any uPvc profiles made in Thailand. German profiles are the best, Chinese profile were bad many years ago but have come a long way since, and so are the profiles made in Malaysia. Thai manufacturers have not the slightest idea of what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doisaketdreamer Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Thanks. I expected they will be costly, but good windows make a very big difference. And service/warranty that are actually honored also have value. I will contact them. By the way, which company did you friend eventually go with?

He was so p*ssed off with the inability of window companies here to provide proper and sensibly-priced quotes that he just sold up and moved to another condo that didn't need new windows! From my own dealings with all sorts of companies here I know exactly how he felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have other suggestions, please share. I am currently ordering my windows from them. So far they have done a professional job on the sales and measurement side as well as working with me on price. My Windows will be installed in 2 stages some normal Windows and doors are scheduled to be installed in 3-4 weeks and I have 7 sets of Windows I specially ordered from their supplier in the states that will be here in another 2 months. On the special Windows the head sales guy met with me and his supplier Deceuninck USA. It wasn't easy arranging everything and they could have tried to sell me something else but they really pushed for the product and I think my shipment will be the first of this type of window in Thailand. So kudos to them. The style of windiws have been around in the states and the U.K. For 2-3 years. http://www.prime-asia.co.th/new-folding-door-system-from-deceuninck/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBangkok Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 FYI I also need a 65 meter bannister around my pool area and they have come up with a very nice design for that in steel and glass. I don't know how it will compare in price to having it locally made but the specifications for the materials are grade AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where the profiles are made, how do you? You seem to imply that, If a product is made in China it is inferior. That is certainly possible but equally certainly not universally true.
