Windows for new buildings – what should you bear in mind?
Consider these aspects:
- Security: Enhanced intruder protection on doors and windows will give you a restful and relaxing night’s sleep. There are different protection classes that describe the effectiveness of this protection.
- Soundproofing: Special soundproofed windows are available to protect you from loud neighbors, street noise and much more, which are primarily of use in properties close to a busy street.
- Thermal insulation and insulation: The right windows will effectively allow you to save on your heating costs. To this end, we recommend triple glazing.
- Insect screens: A complete solution including insects screens often makes more sense than retrofitting netting.
- Sun protection: Classic roller shutters or alternatively, external Venetian blinds provide effective protection from the sun.
- Window arrangement in your new building: Large windows provide plenty of sunlight, whereas multiple, smaller windows offer different places from which you can look out. In addition, a glass façade gives your home a modern style.
- Personal design wishes: When it comes to windows for your new building, you can decide on the colors, sizes, shapes, dimensions, materials, window sills and much more. What overall impression should your home give – natural, modern or historical?

Choose the right entrance door at the same time
Entrance doors are also a very important factor in any new building. As with windows, there is a wide selection to choose from. You can select from different materials, security classes, insulation performance and designs.
What window size is best for your new building?
Daylight saves energy and is more natural than artificial light. Plenty of light is good to your body, so many people like large-format windows. And with modern panes, large windows can also be energy-efficient.
Practical: A large window facing south warms up the interior of your home, so you can use the heating less.
To ensure that your rooms are well lit, the window size should at least be 25 percent of the living space. You get significantly more light with our glass façades. Replace entire walls with glazing to get even closer to nature!
