How are High Quality Windows Made?

- I always wondered what set apart one window from another, but I have never see how any windows are made let alone high quality windows. This is a very short video showing the steps and what goes into a highly automated process of making windows.
Big thanks to SIGA for setting up this tour and Haupt for letting us in to check how high quality winows are made in Switzerland

I lived in Germany for three years as a kid. The quality of windows and doors in most of Europe puts us to shame. If I were building a house in the USA, especially in a cold climate, I'd tell my GC to order the windows from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
I agree
It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
I'm from germany and i'm glad you like the european quality. Thank you for showing us your yourney in switzerland.
I enjoy this type of content, very informative. I'm getting custom windows installed on my 70 Y.O. house soon. High quality, high performance windows will improve the overall look and feel of my house!
Love this type of content. The visuals of a tour with information makes it easier to digest.
Always cool to see the experts at work people are amazing once they care about their job
Thanks for showing this quick little video it was really enjoyable
Yup. I use their products all the time all over Europe. We've had old schools, hospitals, even a church once. Quality product.
I'm really enjoying these swiss vids
Yeah these are great
Enjoyed the video, good to see how things are done.
That polka in the background, now that's some window making music!
Again...great content and I definitely agree...every window IS different
Love your informative videos like this, but I'm ready to see another build series. :-)
Heck yeah!! Me too
Nothing compares to euro windows/doors. Installed them myself on my house and love them.
what supplier did you use? literally browsing google for this right now
how very cool to see craftsmanship.
Thanks for the video, laughing and learning 👍
Cool to finaly see that Video. It was a interesting Day at work when u Guys where here
Very high quality stuff comes out of Switzerland. 👍😁
If that window leaks after install it's gone be costly to bring you back over to reseal it. JK - it won't leak. OT - would love to see the finished interior of the Barndo when you are back home.
We need to see more of those fancy mechanisms
I’ve been to quite a few window and door manufacturing facilities over the years because I sell windows and doors. That one looked really nice. Most are not impressive to say the least, generally like a big shop with machines and lots and lots of people to do every step manually and not nearly as clean and organized as this one was. The only one I’ve seen that appears to be as nice as this one is Western Window Systems in Phoenix Az. One thing you notice at these higher end manufacturing facilities is that generally they have lots of career employees and most are seemingly very happy when you visit, unlike some of the ones that are chaotic and cluttered. I’d love to see their windows they looked really nice.
Any good manufacturers in the US making solid euro style windows?
I may have missed it but in the previous videos have you covered how they Seal basement walls from outside water And mode? Compared to What we do in the States?
Awesome content
Thanks!
What are the names of the towns you have been in for the manufacturing plants? Have you had time to sightsee?
Go look for window joinery in The Netherlands. We use "pen en gat verbindingen". Tongue and groove in America i believe. They are pretty easy and strong.
It is to see that You in the Swiss by the Window building Design to catch what by Your in USA not is to have!
Greeting from Austria 🇦🇹
You’re the man
Is that imported to the USA? Excellent Swiss quality, wood and aluminum ( for the exterior), no need to paint, triple glass, excellent thermal characteristics. Awesome.
Really? You actually are going to question the most efficient building methods in the entire world? Show everyone your DOCUMENTATION or STFU
Brent Hull has a RUclips channel and makes quality windows in Texas... Pretty cool to see companies actually caring about quality and historical accuracy these days 👍
= Dutch, I love your channel. It is an eyeopener, isn't it?
nice!
Do they put oil or latex paint on them? Do they use a storm of some sort?
As a Joiners apprentice in Germany i find even having to ask if all windows are the same ridiculous.
Very informative still
Good video. Factory tours are always great. But I'd rather see the expert worker lay down the sealant.
Are these available in the U.S.?
Putting on that much caulking is a bit excessive, but only cause Caulking won't hold up for over 30 years. They probably only use it where they can't get the other adhesives.
How does this compare to Marvin or other higher end US manufacturers?
Y’all are hating on Kyle for too much caulk. Give him a week and he would be training all of them how to correctly build/install their own windows 🤙🏼🤙🏼
The Swiss are too polite they should have whaled on ya for that sloppy caulking job.
Hi Matt! oh wrong channel.... Lol 🤣
Moving on up to Eastside.
And you thought that you are funny..... NOT
@@daveklein2826 Dave you must be one doll guy.. no sense of humor in that body.
You must be one boring guy to work with.
And I'm not being funny now
How do I get a franchise
Would love to buy EU products. Is that any kind of master list by category so we have info to purchase?
❤❤❤
I think that if you want these types of windows to be affordable in the US, you have to have about 3 to 4 manufactorers in each State, and not only because of competition, but also in terms of transport. The US is so large, I can fly from NYC to San Francisco and that takes about 5.5 to 6 hours! And then you are still in the same country! If I fly from Amsterdam to the East for 6 hours I'm in Dubai!
👍
After seeing this, I know for sure that all windows are not the same😳
For the natural feel and look it's timber all the way. For low maintenance and longevity its Aluminum.
All windows are NOT the same. Many of them are filling inert gas in between the two windows for better insulation factors. I know Andersen Windows do that, they had been using Argon back in the 1990's. Aluminum windows are not so good overall, wood clad with vinyl seem to be the best invention so far.
Amazing detail that CNC mill works with those choices of tools. I wonder how long it takes for the operator to punch in all of the commands for an operation. It's always a learning experience to tour manufacturing facilities...they are so advanced in things we rarely see outside with finished products.
LMAO. inert gas is NOT necessary
Cost is always a big factor when deciding on windows!
Well thank you Captain obvious
I'm really surprised they let you caulk that window. It is their reputation and warranty you could endanger.
I have manufactured thousands of windows and doors, but installed only a few.
As long as water can not penetrate, the wood should last, but if any water passes, rot does take over. Nobody maintains their windows.
Thanks Captain obvious
Great video, but, “You Got Chick’d”
Better too much than too little not a bad job with the caulk. At least they didn't have to go through and add caulk.
i bet those windows are EXPENSIVE
And worth every penny
Europeans have taken it to the next level
And, oh wonder, nobody wears safety glasses. Which is totally an American thing.
.
all windows are not the same and you have to shop around although installation is very important and you can have very high quality windows but if you have poor installation you might as well have nothing.
All windows are the same? You have to have realized European windows are a lot different to whatever crap it is you're installing in the US.
What? He never said that and just showed you that they aren't
All windows are not the same
you fucked up the silicon sealent... i would give you 4 of 10 points.. im a swiss carpenter i fix windows.. she is an absolut pro im not that good...
why do you attempt jobs that take lots of training? adds nothing to the videos but distracts
I think your time would be better spent watching "How it's made"
And what is this video supposed to be other than Kyle's journey of discovery into European building practices? If you think this video is about anything else... you're sorely mistaken. Discovery Channel/National Geographic has a lot of stuff under their respective "how it's made" brands that will satisfy your needs better.
