10 Common Mistakes When Ordering Windows and How to Avoid Them

27.04.2025

Choosing and ordering windows is not just a step towards updating the interior. This is a decision that affects the heat, sound insulation, aesthetics and even the safety of the house for many years. And, unfortunately, it is at this stage that many make mistakes that later cost much more than it seems at first glance. An incorrectly selected profile, saving on fittings, working with unverified manufacturers - all this can negate even the most thoughtful repair.

One of the most common problems is the pursuit of a low price. Customers focus on cost, not taking into account that behind this there is often low-quality plastic, a simplified design or even counterfeits of famous brands. Such a window can begin to let in cold after just one season. It is especially important to pay attention to technical characteristics: the number of chambers in the profile, the type of glass unit, the quality of seals and fittings. These parameters directly affect heat and sound insulation, service life and safety.

The next common mistake is the lack of professional measurements. Many people rely on their measurements taken "by eye" or with a regular tape measure. As a result, the windows either do not fit into the opening, or gaps form through which air and moisture pass. Moreover, incorrect measurements entail overspending of materials, delays in production and installation, and sometimes even the reworking of the entire structure. That is why at IMZO we offer a free service to call a measurer - to eliminate any inaccuracies at the start and save the client from unnecessary headaches.

Another critically important point is installation. You can buy the most expensive and high-quality windows, but with poor installation, all the advantages are lost. For example, incorrect installation can cause freezing along the perimeter, condensation on the slopes and even deformation of the frame over time. Therefore, it is important to trust the installation only to experienced specialists who work according to strict standards. At IMZO, we not only manufacture windows, but also provide a full range of services - from design to professional installation, for which we are responsible with our reputation.

An aspect such as ventilation is also often overlooked. The tightness of modern windows is a plus, but without the right ventilation system, the air in the room can stagnate. This is especially important in bedrooms and children's rooms. We offer solutions where ventilation valves and micro-ventilation are built into the design, which allows you to keep fresh air in the house without drafts.

Many customers also do not take into account the features of the room. For example, for the kitchen, it is important that the window opens easily even if there is kitchen furniture under the windowsill, and for panoramic living rooms - that there is high resistance to sunlight and temperature changes. At IMZO, we select solutions individually, depending on the room, interior style and tasks - be it an apartment, a private house or a commercial building.

We must not forget about the appearance. Windows are part of the façade, and visually they should be in harmony with the rest of the architecture. We offer different color solutions, decorative elements and even individual configurations so that the window not only performs functions, but also emphasizes the style of the building. This is especially important when ordering windows for a private house or a designer object.

And finally, one of the most annoying mistakes is the lack of an official guarantee. Buying windows from dubious companies without a guarantee is always a risk. Today they are there, and tomorrow they are gone, and you will have to repair or replace the window at your own expense. At IMZO, we provide an official guarantee for products and installation, because we are confident in each of our products and each employee. By the way, we always remind our clients: be sure to check the ID card with the surveyor and installers - this is an additional level of trust and transparency that we have introduced as part of our customer care.

If you are planning to install new windows, you should approach this issue consciously. It is much easier to avoid mistakes than to correct them later. And if you want to be sure of the result, you should choose a proven manufacturer who will not just sell windows, but offer a comprehensive solution. IMZO is exactly this approach: from competent consultation to precise measurements, from a well-thought-out design to flawless installation. We do not just install windows - we create comfort in your home.
