How does factory-direct pricing work?

By connecting you directly with vetted global manufacturers and bypassing traditional retail markups, we save you up to 32% on premium window systems.

What is the certified installer protocol?

All installations are performed by certified crews who are specifically trained on each system's technical specification to ensure warranty integrity.

How much do European tilt-and-turn windows cost in Canada?

On average, factory-direct European tilt-and-turn windows cost 30-50% less through Windows Online than through traditional local showrooms. Pricing typically ranges from $45 to $85 per square foot depending on the profile system (e.g. Aluprof, Reynaers) and glazing specifications.

Are European windows NAFS certified for Canadian building codes?

Not all European system however, we have a variety of European systems on our platform that undergo rigorous testing to meet or exceed NAFS-08/11/17 standards. We provide laboratory test reports for water penetration, air leakage, and structural performance required for Canadian building permits.

How does the escrow payment system protect my window order?

Windows Online utilises a secure project escrow protocol where funds are only released to the manufacturer in phases after each production step completion, and will be completed with the client's final approval. This eliminates the risk of deposit loss and ensures 100% factory compliance with your specifications.

What is the lead time for factory-direct windows from Europe?

Typical lead times are 9-12 weeks from final shop drawing approval to site delivery. This includes 6-8 weeks for precision fabrication and 3-5 weeks for sea freight and customs clearance at Canadian ports.

Why are factory-direct windows better than local retail options?

Factory-direct procurement removes redundant middleman markups (typically 40%+), provides direct access to superior European engineering (triple glazing, thermal breaks), and ensures your product is fabricated on modern, high-precision automated lines.

Can I get certified installation for imported European windows?

Yes. Windows Online maintains a network of certified installation partners across Canada and the USA who are specifically trained in European bracket-mount and strap-mount systems to ensure airtight seals and long-term structural integrity.

What are the energy efficiency ratings of triple-glazed European windows?

Our premium aluminum and uPVC systems frequently achieve U-factors as low as 0.12 to 0.18 (Btu/hr·ft²·°F) and are Passive House certified. This significantly outperforms standard Canadian double-pane windows, reducing HVAC loads by up to 40%.

How do I handle shipping and customs for my window project?

Windows Online manages the entire logistics chain. We handle international freight, marine insurance, and Canadian customs brokerage. Your windows are delivered directly to your job site.

What happens if a window is damaged during shipping?

Every shipment is covered by comprehensive marine and land transit insurance. In the rare event of damage, we initiate an immediate priority fabrication of the replacement unit and manage the insurance claim on your behalf.

Who provides the warranty for windows bought through the platform?

All products carry a comprehensive 10-year factory warranty on profiles and glass, backed by the manufacturer. Windows Online serves as your local point of contact, managing any claims directly with the factory to ensure rapid resolution. All you need to do is inform us, and we will take care of the rest.
