I will order 12 wooden tilt & turn windows from an Austrian manufacturer this summer. http://www.riederkg.at/fenster/holz_fenster/index.html

My problem: shipping and handling makes up about 40% of the total.
Now if I can convince you to order with me, we can share the shipping cost.

If you want airtight, super-insulating, noiseblocking windows – let me know.
The quality is excellent, and the price is good. They have double and triple glazed, wood or aluminium clad and also vinyl.

  1. does anyone know if you can replace “some” front windows in a landmark are (eg the 3 on the top floor) but noth the other floors? we’d like to replace ours but the rest of the co-op doesnt want to spend the money….

  2. Hey Jay, thanks for getting in touch.
    Gaulhofer have great windows, too. I will send you an email!

  3. We’re about to order Gaulhofer windows in a couple weeks for a brownstone we’re rehabbing in Harlem. We’d love to split the cost of shipping if you don’t mind changing manufacturers to a different Austrian company.
