These windows are wild! Tilt and Turn multipoint locking systems, triple glazing options, triple weather and air sealed, comes in pvc (meh), fiberglass (hmm!), thermally broken aluminum (yeah!) aluminum clad wood (oh BABY!) and STEEL!!! YEAH BUDDY!
And how cool is the radiant heated window? I had never seen that before!

I have long been a fan of the European style windows. They just seem to build a better unit than most US manufacturers. However, getting them into the States at a somewhat affordable price has always been a tough nut to crack. I am not sure Eko Okna will be able to offer these here in the US for a reasonable price, but from what I have seen, their quality seems to be top notch and the manufacturers sales price is very competitive. But then we have to ship it form Poland by the container full. We will see if these start popping up in Window retailers near us.
When I was on honeymoon in Italy, I was amazed at how all of their windows in Italy and Germany were these tilt and turn windows. They're incredibly rodust feeling, and if I was building a more modern home, I'd absolutely have to go with these!
I had a similar revelation when I was over in Europe too! The tilt turn blew my mind.
Those are awesome. Thanks for the intro.
Wowsers! A heated window! I just might put a couple in & give them a whirl later this sunmer!
Pretty sweet design.
I'm looking seriously at them for our build this summer in the Salado Texas area
I would love to try them on a house!
Alpen sells affordable tilt turn windows using the Roto hardware. They are made here in the states.
I'm not a fan of tilt turn windows but that radiant heat is something else!
Why don’t you like the tilt turns?
@@JordanSmithBuilds I think part of it is that they open in limiting furniture placement a bit. I think some of it is I'm not a big fan of the look. It's just personal preference when it comes down to it.
Personal preference for sure. I’ve always thought they were the bee’s knee’s!
The window is much hotter than he is? Not possible.
I’d take uPVC windows over woods
Yo!! I'm First!🤘
10 points to Nazeer!
But, if the house is built to excellent, insulation and air, infiltration standards, is using three pane windows worth the extra money in utility savings? This is a serious question as there is now some modelling available that the occasional UA-cam video mentions that states you don’t actually save that much money. The ROI is 20 or 30 years.
The ROI may not be there, but it's a matter of comfort. This is more so prevalent in the colder months on the north. You can have your heat set at 72 and still feel chilled with standard windows
Ooohhh you hit on a hot topic! In my opinion, a good double pane with high end coatings will perform almost as well as triple pane, and maybe just as well in certain climates. For me, I would save the money on the extra glass, and invest in a great double pane window with sturdy reliable hardware
@@JordanSmithBuilds good point Cardinal glass using 270 or 366 and e80n-a 4th coating-come close to triple pane without weight. bUT American frames are the problem-no where near close to what th Europeans can build. So for a durability , and air sealing standpoint not even in same league-12 locks on all four sides ? That’s 2-4x times what you get on the best american windows. Workmanship? Not even close
Definitely not made in America. Please post the website on the details fore to check it out and order it
No shit Sherlock. He literally said they are made in Poland 😂
@@ColeSpolaric woo. An angry keyboard warrior 🪖
