European Windows · Sold in the USA
Purchasing windows from Europe is a great way to save money and get great quality windows. We import factory systems from Drutex, Kowalski Okna, and Aluplast — measured in millimeters, quoted in dollars, delivered to the USA.
Why import
North American replacement windows are often sold as a package of brand, installer, and markup. European factories sell the same Class A PVC profiles the EU uses for energy codes — 70 mm and 82 mm multi-chamber frames, three gaskets, triple glazing — without the US retail stack. Purchasing windows from Europe is a great way to save money and get great quality windows for new construction or a full-house swap.
European Windows is the US-facing desk for three European partners. You send opening sizes. We return a quote with profile, glass, and freight.
Partners: Drutex, Kowalski Okna, and Aluplast (aluplast.com.pl).
Catalog
Names and core figures come from the manufacturers. Specs may be paraphrased; chamber count, depth, gaskets, and Uw stay as published. Photos are from each partner’s catalog, stored on this site.

We do not rebrand the profiles. You buy the European system under its factory name, with US-side quoting, freight, and support.
Polish PVC manufacturer. IGLO Energy Classic, IGLO 5 Classic, IGLO Light, IGLO 5, IGLO Energy, and IGLO EDGE — tilt-and-turn factory windows.
Eternalline STV and STV Plus, Gealan Linear, HST Decco, Decco 83 Premium, Bluevolution 73, Bluevolution 82, and Alteca.
PVC systems from aluplast.com.pl that we quote as finished windows: NEO, NEO View, IDEAL 8000, IDEAL 7000, Intertec 85 MD, and IDEAL 4000.
Hardware
A tilt-and-turn sash tilts inward at the top for secure ventilation, then turns inward like a door for cleaning and egress. US hung and slider windows rarely offer that combination. Drutex IGLO, Kowalski Eternalline / bluEvolution, and Aluplast IDEAL / NEO ship with European multi-point locking so the same sash does both jobs.
When you fill the estimate form, add each opening as its own line — houses rarely use one size. Choose tilt-and-turn unless you need a fixed light, a hopper, a PSK, or an HST slider.
Ventilate on the tilt. Open fully on the turn. Lock on all sides.
Quote
Measure each rough opening in millimeters (or inches — we convert). Add another window for every different size. We price the factory system plus packing and USA freight.
Purchasing windows from Europe is a great way to save money and get great quality windows. The estimate is free.
