European Aluminum Windows & Doors, Fabricated in Brooklyn
Vitraz designs and fabricates premium European aluminum windows and doors for homeowners, architects, builders, and developers across the New York metro area and the greater Northeast. Every system is built in our Brooklyn facility, for faster lead times, exceptional thermal performance, and decades of reliable service.
Your windows aren’t something you replace every few years. They’re one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your property, the right system should look beautiful on day one, and perform just as well two decades from now.
Why European aluminum windows are different.
If you’ve only compared traditional vinyl or wood, European aluminum windows take a different approach. They pair slim, modern frames with real structural strength, excellent thermal performance, and design flexibility most standard windows can’t match. Larger panes of glass bring in more natural light, while clean sightlines give architects and builders the modern look they’re after, without sacrificing durability.
Slim frames, more glass
Narrow aluminum profiles carry larger panes, flooding rooms with natural light and opening up uninterrupted views.
Built to last decades
Aluminum won’t warp, rot, or swell like wood and vinyl, so the way your windows look and perform holds up for the long run.
Engineered performance
Thermally broken profiles, multi-point locking, and high-performance insulated glazing come standard, not as upgrades.
Thermally broken aluminum windows, explained.
Aluminum is strong enough to hold slim frames around large expanses of glass, something vinyl and wood simply can’t do at the same scale. The concern people raise is heat transfer, since metal conducts temperature.
That’s exactly what a thermally broken frame solves: an insulating barrier is built into the middle of the profile, separating the inside of the frame from the outside. The result is a slim, strong window that stays energy efficient, cutting unwanted heat transfer in summer and heat loss in winter, for a quieter, more comfortable home all year.
The break stops temperature from passing straight through the metal, the key to an aluminum window that’s both slim and efficient.
European aluminum window manufacturing in Brooklyn.
Unlike many companies that import complete window systems from overseas, Vitraz manufactures its European aluminum windows and doors in our own Brooklyn facility. Every frame is fabricated to your exact specifications, custom sizing, finishes, glazing, and hardware, on thermally broken aluminum profiles. Local production means faster lead times, genuine flexibility, and support from the same team that built your order. When you contact Vitraz, you’re talking to the people who build your windows, not a call center an ocean away.

Common questions about European aluminum windows.
European systems are engineered around slimmer frames, larger panes of glass, tighter seals, and higher thermal and security performance. You get more daylight, cleaner sightlines, and better year-round comfort than most conventional windows offer.
A thermal break is an insulating barrier built into the middle of the aluminum frame, separating the inside from the outside. It stops the metal from transferring temperature, so you keep aluminum’s strength and slim profile without the energy penalty.
Yes. With thermally broken frames and high-performance insulated glazing, our systems reduce heat transfer in summer and heat loss in winter, meeting or exceeding modern energy codes.
Vinyl frames are bulky and can warp over time; wood needs ongoing maintenance and can rot or swell. Aluminum stays slim, stable, and low-maintenance for decades, while carrying far larger panes of glass.
Local fabrication means faster lead times, genuine customization, direct communication, and support from the same team that built your windows, not a vendor an ocean away.
You’re paying for engineering, premium materials, and longevity. Spread across the decades these windows last, the right system is one of the better long-term investments you can make in a property.
