Why Schüco? The Mercedes-Benz of Windows

When American architects design ultra-luxury, modern homes, they specify German windows. The combination of massive triple-glazing, razor-thin aluminum sightlines, and flawlessly engineered tilt-and-turn mechanics simply cannot be sourced domestically at the same quality level.

Schüco (based in Bielefeld, Germany) is the gold standard for these systems. Their AWS aluminum lines and ASE lift-and-slide doors allow for massive expanses of glass that move with the push of a finger, all while maintaining Passive House levels of thermal insulation.

The Export & Installation Process

Importing luxury windows requires more than just a shipping container. meylen.com handles the entire end-to-end logistics chain:

Custom Fabrication: Manufactured exactly to your architect's rough openings in Germany.
Global Logistics: Custom heavy-duty crating, sea freight, and handling all US Customs clearance.
German Craftsmanship on Site: A premium window is only as good as its installation. We fly certified German Schüco installation crews directly to your job site in the USA to ensure a flawless, warranty-backed fit.
