Stop Wasting Money! How to Choose Windows & Doors Without Regrets

Imagine this: You just moved into your new home, but the bedroom window lets in traffic noise all night, and the bathroom door warps after a month of steam. Choosing windows and doors is tricky—here are 12 actionable tips to get it right the first time.

1. Define Needs & Budget First

Functional Positioning

• Bedroom/Study: A client near the highway once complained about sleepless nights—we solved it with triple-layer laminated glass (reduces noise by 42dB) . Prioritize multi-seal designs.
• Kitchen/Bathroom: Moisture eats away at cheap materials. Opt for corrosion-resistant frames and frosted glass (privacy + waterproof).
• Ground Floor/Street-side: Add kingkong mesh screens—we stopped a burglary attempt for a low-floor client with anti-pry hardware .

Budget Allocation Table

Area	Priority	Recommended Specs	Budget Ratio
Bedroom/Living	High	Soundproof glass + hardware	60%
Balcony	Medium	Basic insulated frames	25%
Storage Room	Low	Standard aluminum frames	15%

2. Focus on Core Performance

• Insulation: Broken-bridge aluminum frames + nano-coating glass cut AC costs by 40% . Look for thermal strips ≥35mm wide.
• Soundproofing: “Should I choose double-glazed or laminated glass?” asked a client near the airport. Answer: Double-glazed blocks traffic hum; laminated absorbs airplane roar .
• Wind/Water Resistance: High-rises need Grade 4+ wind resistance (GB/T7106 standard). Remember Nanchang’s “flying window” incident—poor installation + weak frames caused disasters .

3. Check Materials & Craftsmanship

• Profiles: Don’t be tricked by “thick walls”! Virgin aluminum has smooth, dark gray cuts; recycled aluminum is rough and silvery . Avoid recycled aluminum—it warps in 2 years.
• Glass: Must have 3C marks. Large panes (over 2㎡) need tempered laminated glass to prevent explosion .
• Hardware: Hidden hinges (anti-pry!) and German Roto hardware support 100,000 openings .
• Installation: “Why does my new window leak?” A common question—ensure foam insulation fills gaps and sealant is applied smoothly (no waves!) .

4. Choose Reliable Brands & After-sales

Beware of “brand-name profile traps”! A client bought “Fenglv profile windows” but got leaks— Modeling Material brand ≠ window quality . Our brand has 14+ patents (e.g., thermal insulation) and 5-year warranty (national standard is 2 years ).

5. Match Decoration Style

• Minimalist: 35mm narrow-frame broken-bridge aluminum (30% more light) .
• New Chinese: Wood-grain aluminum frames (no termites, unlike real wood).
• Pro Tip: Small kitchens suit sliding windows (save space); living rooms need tilt-turn windows (ventilate in rain).

Q&A: Real Questions from Clients

Q: “My window leaks after rain—who’s to blame?”A: 80% are installation errors! Check if fixings are spaced ≤600mm and sealant is weather-resistant .

Q: “Is more expensive always better?”A: No! Balcony windows don’t need soundproof glass—save money for bedroom upgrades.

Final Cheat Sheet

Needs first, performance core; quality materials, craft details; reliable brand, solid after-sales; style match, both beauty and function!
