Live landed-cost estimate for European windows, doors, sliders, and bifolds. Calibrated against supplier quotes for systems from Reynaers, Aliplast and Aluplast. Displayed budget ranges are +/-10% (+/-15% for aluminum-clad wood), not guaranteed error limits. For a reviewed budget, send your window schedule. With enough detail, I normally respond the same or next working day.
How accurate is the price estimate?+
The estimator uses supplier quotes and project data as a budgeting basis, with a displayed +/-10% range. This is a planning allowance, not a guaranteed error limit. Configuration, glazing, quantities and delivery can change the result. With a usable schedule, I normally prepare a reviewed budget the same or next working day. A formal quote follows technical and commercial checks.
What is included in the landed cost?+
Products with the selected options, ocean freight (to a US East Coast port, or for Canada to your Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver hub) and import duty (modeled for the US; duty-free under CETA for Canada, with GST at import shown separately). Optional uplifts cover triple glazing, an NFRC review allowance, nailing flange, screens and high-altitude glazing. Not included: inland delivery beyond the port or hub, unloading and installation. A written quote states the agreed delivery scope.
How does the estimate work for a Canadian project?+
Switch the project location to Canada and pick the arrival hub: Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver. The total then covers products and ocean freight to that hub. The windows enter duty-free under CETA with an origin declaration, which I prepare. GST at import (5%) is shown separately and is recoverable for registered businesses. Canadian orders are quoted DAP: the Canadian buyer is the importer of record, and I coordinate with your customs broker. Prices stay in US dollars with a CAD reference.
Which system providers are represented?+
The aluminum and uPVC lines use selected systems from Reynaers, Aliplast and Aluplast. These are system providers; finished units are sourced through manufacturing partners. The aluminum-clad wood line prices Clad Hidden Sash for windows and entrance doors, and Timber Lift & Slide for sliders. These are Windows Guy house names. I review the actual openings and priorities before recommending a configuration.
Are these windows NFRC certified for US codes?+
The NFRC option is a budget allowance only. It does not certify a selected system or guarantee documentation for every size, glazing package or opening type. Send your required ratings and documents so I can check availability for the exact proposed configuration before quoting. For a Canadian project, code documentation is confirmed per project with your building official.
How long does delivery take?+
Production, finishes, drawing approval and shipping determine the schedule. Tell me your project location and target installation date. I confirm the current lead time and delivery scope for the selected package before you order; the estimator does not reserve production or shipping capacity.
What is the difference between the four lines?+
Each line is one system family that covers your windows, doors and sliders, so the totals compare like for like. PVC uses Aluplast Ideal Neo and Smart Slide for the lowest entry cost. Modern aluminum uses Aliplast Maxlight Modern with matching sliders and bifolds. Steel-look aluminum uses Reynaers SL38 Classic HI with matching sliders and bifolds, and shows an Aliplast ST1000 alternative with nailing fin and two-color finish included. Aluminum-clad wood uses Windows Guy house lines with a wider budget range. If a line cannot supply part of your scope, its total says what it leaves out.
Can the estimator price real steel windows and doors?+
No. Real steel (Jansen Janisol) is not part of this estimate; the steel-look tier is aluminum. Real steel is quoted from drawings, so send them and I come back with a priced package. See the steel windows and doors page for the systems and reference configurations.
Can I price aluminum-clad wood windows here?+
Yes, as a budget range. The Timber tier prices aluminum-clad wood with oak or meranti selectable. It is based on limited supplier data, so the range is +/-15%. Timber is priced inward opening, with no bars or SDL only. Solid-wood windows without cladding are not priced here - request a quote for those. Final species, section, finish and glazing are confirmed per order from your drawings.
