A suitable and cost-saving frame solution, always and everywhere

At Select Windows, manufacturer and supplier of low-maintenance plastic window frames for the consumer market, production is running at full capacity. The busyness has a logical explanation. "The private renovation market is booming at the moment," says director Amanda Knol. "People increasingly recognize that sustainable quality solutions contribute to home comfort while at the same time providing solid savings. These are welcome wins, especially at a time when energy costs are skyrocketing..."

Schüco profiles form the basis of Select Windows frames.

Under the motto "Beautiful window frames for every home," Select Windows of Zwaag, North Holland, has been making a difference for about thirty years. The company offers an extensive program of top quality plastic window frames. They are maintenance-friendly products that not only excel in terms of customization, functionality and insulation value, but can easily compete in aesthetic terms with the considerably more expensive wooden window frames. "We have a suitable solution for every home and style," said Knol. "From classic to modern, and everything in between. Piece by piece and manufactured with a keen eye for detail in our own factory GevelNed. In any desired color or texture and including every imaginable accessory, such as glass, screens, decorative panels, grilles, window decoration, hardware and even access control technology. Select Windows stands for a well thought out total package. As a result, we can meet any market need."

End user on one

Select Windows is a special company with its own distinct character. Good can always be better, is the mindset within the company. "We are indeed different from other companies," confirms Knol. 

"This is reflected in our more than complete assortment, but also in our suppliers and the approximately twenty carefully selected network partners with whom we serve end users throughout the Netherlands. Experienced specialists who fit in perfectly with us and know what the customer really wants. Because after all, that's what it's all about. And we respond to that together." 

One way to do this is with the Energy Frame, a product made of Schüco Living profiles that, in combination with triple-glass, provides a 40% higher insulation value than the current generation of plastic window frames. In addition, the customer can determine the appearance of the profile and there is a wide choice in terms of color and texture. 

"At a time when home renovation is hot and energy rates keep rising, you couldn't wish for a better product for yourself," says Knol. "Even when it comes to the purchase price. So with our products, you save on multiple fronts."

New software

Continuous investment in people and resources is central to Select Windows. The most current proof of this is the further rollout of a new, future-proof software package for window frame fabrication. An application that relieves the craftsman of all the thinking, increases the speed of work, reduces errors to zero and shortens delivery times. 

"We ourselves have been using this Web-based package since last year," Knol says. "In the near future it will also become available to our partners. It is an extremely clever piece of technology that is proving its worth all around the production of our frames. The package, which integrates several software programs, always guarantees fully automated production and a tiptop end result based on the customer specifications entered. And that without a single worry."
