System windows and doors are manufactured by system companies that provide comprehensive window and door system solutions, offering clear commitments on product performance and quality standards. These solutions must address a range of critical features, including water tightness, air tightness, wind resistance, mechanical strength, thermal insulation, soundproofing, anti-theft capabilities, sun shading, weather resistance, and ease of operation. Additionally, the overall performance is determined by the integrated quality of every component—such as equipment, profiles, accessories, glass, adhesives, and sealing materials. Designed, fabricated, and installed according to these holistic system requirements, the products deliver on their promised performance and quality standards during real-world use.
Simply put, to create high-quality system windows and doors, you need to set clear goals in advance. That’s why system windows and doors can’t be simply equated with energy efficiency or high performance—they represent a seamless, organic integration of multiple performance features working together as a cohesive system.
So, what exactly is the difference between system windows and doors and ordinary ones?
1. Stability and Performance Aspects
System windows and doors have their own independent technical department, which conducts rigorous testing and inspection on each component of the system. This ensures that all parts work seamlessly together, minimizing the risk of failure—and resulting in what we commonly refer to as excellent stability. In contrast, standard windows and doors are typically assembled by ordering individual components based on specific needs. However, this approach often leads to occasional issues during use, making them less stable overall. System windows and doors undergo a comprehensive development process lasting 2 to 3 years, during which materials, the performance of the entire product, and its quality are thoroughly evaluated. Only after meeting predefined goals are these proven, mature products introduced to the market. On the other hand, standard windows and doors are usually temporary, project-specific assemblies that rarely undergo the same level of rigorous testing.
2. In terms of flexibility
In system windows and doors, all components are pre-determined based on specific performance criteria, leaving relatively little room for customization compared to conventional windows and doors—thus limiting their flexibility. On the other hand, standard windows and doors allow users to freely tailor their components according to individual needs. System windows and doors are mass-produced, standardized products, with highly exclusive and incompatible features such as groove designs and material supplies. As a result, users must select from predefined series that align with project requirements—typically without the option to develop custom solutions for individual projects. In contrast, materials for conventional windows and doors can be sourced from both domestic and international manufacturers, and manufacturers even have the flexibility to create temporary molds on short notice, making these products far more adaptable to unique project demands.
3. Software Aspect
System windows and doors not only provide products but also offer design software, design manuals, procurement guides, fabrication manuals, specialized equipment, and technical service support—forming a complete industry chain. The quality of standard windows and doors, meanwhile, depends on the expertise of designers and the manufacturing and installation capabilities of window and door manufacturers.
4. Regarding after-sales service
System windows and doors come with a longer warranty period compared to standard ones. In addition to the project warranty provided by the window and door manufacturer, system windows and doors also offer an extended product warranty from the system company itself. Moreover, customers can typically rely on brand-exclusive stores for straightforward repairs. In contrast, with ordinary windows and doors, there’s often no clear channel for after-sales support—when issues arise, homeowners are left wondering who to turn to for assistance. |
