That is, given the cost of individual elements of the window of proper quality, manufacturers of many well-known brands simply cannot lower the price bar. Therefore, too low the price will soon indicate or the lack of professional skills of workers, or low-grade components. In both cases, the duration of operation and ease of use will not correspond to expectations.
Be sure to review the reviews about the work of the company. Note for yourself how satisfied customers, some time after installation:
