Of course, wood-aluminum costs correspondingly more than plastic, but at three times the price, the fun stops for me. All in all, the Pax are twice as expensive as the Nestlé wood-aluminum of my general contractor. You do wonder if that is justified.

I did not, mind you, want to judge this as a client or planner. Rather as a managing director of a window supplier faced with the question of whether to remain a manufacturer myself. Yes, price differences are spread much wider than the end customer can imagine as justified.

For wood-aluminum windows, for example, a manufacturer could take the position that weather protection is provided by the aluminum outer shell, so you could then use wood that is only suitable for interior applications. The area of locking mechanisms and fittings also allows for some leeway. The price-performance ratio can therefore certainly be worse with the “cheaper” provider.

The customer does himself no favors by applying price pressure; small window manufacturers are dying off in droves. When the market is “cleansed,” prices will rise again.
