    Unique Functionality

    Modern European windows and doors are known for their unique functionality. We offer tilt-and-turn functionality on our windows and patio doors for easy opening and ventilation. Our sliding doors come with lift-and-slide mechanisms. These doors lift with an easy turn of the handle and slide open smoothly and effortlessly.

    Forced Entry Resistance

    Windows and doors are the most vulnerable points for forced-entry and break-ins. That’s why we deliver some of the most secure products on the market.

European Designs

European windows - that is, windows designed and manufactured in Europe - lead the industry in style and performance. European windows may also be referred to as tilt and turn windows, or German windows.

We work closely with manufacturers in Europe to bring European windows and doors to the US market. Plus, Bauwerk is the only place where you can configure, price, and order custom European windows and doors online.

Passive House-Ready

Passive House is about creating net zero or net positive buildings by employing rigorous energy efficiency standards. All the aspects of the building, its components, and its location are considered and simulated in an energy model.

Bauwerk offers windows and door systems that match climate zone-specific requirements and provides all data required for Passive House modeling.

Customized for You

Our suppliers compete in markets that expect highly customizable products at standard prices. That's why custom sizing, coloring and configurations come standard.

“Custom as Standard” applies to more than just sizing; it also applies to configurations and color options of our European windows and doors. Whether it's a modern design home, a historic renovation, or a window replacement project, we can also provide the style you need.
