The year 2022 will mark 10 years of WnD (Windows and Doors) in France.

Valued for its reliability and efficient deliveries, WnD has become a recognized expert in France, offering a tailored, high-quality, and competitive offering, as well as a structured and organized distribution network. France represents a real challenge for the brand, which is making great strides in its plan to cover the entire country by 2025.

More than 10 years of experience in the manufacture of PVC joinery

The WnD story began in France in 2012, supporting major construction projects for construction groups. Recognized for its reliability, efficient delivery, and the excellent value for money of its products, the brand has successfully met the demanding requirements of these construction projects.

For 10 years, WnD has been expanding its expertise, providing comprehensive support to its customers, and establishing itself in the door and window joinery market with high-quality, cost-effective, and fully-featured products that perfectly meet the demands of tomorrow. Leveraging the full expertise of the OKNOPLAST group, the brand now caters to new construction and renovation projects, both in collective housing and individual homes.

WnD joinery has also contributed to numerous low-energy projects thanks to its excellent thermal performance, which significantly limits energy loss in homes. Since 2018, the manufacturer has enjoyed great success, manufacturing more than 648 windows per year and currently operating in 000 countries: France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland.

Historically established in the East with offices near Strasbourg in Schiltigheim, WnD intends to develop its network throughout the country over the next 3 years.

A strong team of experts serving customers

WnD can rely on its team of technical experts covering the entire territory and capable of responding to all carpentry projects. Jean-Luc Schlosser, who has been working for the OKNOPLAST group since 2009 as Regional Manager for the Eastern region, has made a significant contribution to establishing the brand in France. It was therefore only natural that he took the helm of WnD in January 2021 as Sales Director.

Driven by the company's growth momentum, three new sales representatives - Stéphane VANHELDER in the North, Éric BAYARD in the Ile-de-France region and Bruno MIGINIAC in the Rhône-Alpes region - have also joined the sales team to increase the brand's reach in France and serve a wider customer base.

New tools for a structured and organized distribution network

Personalized customer support is at the heart of WnD's development strategy. Today, its products are distributed to more than 3 retail partners across Europe. The manufacturer remains highly engaged with customers, offering high-end products, fast delivery, professional advice, and advanced tools to support them on a daily basis.

The MyWnD partner area

To facilitate the daily work of its business partners (window fitters, installers, professionals, etc.), the manufacturer has developed the MyWnD tool. On this portal, the customer can find all of their orders, digital marketing tools (catalogues, flyers, etc.), logistics tracking, complaints, etc., as well as all the product information or technical data (manuals, certificates, technical catalogues, etc.) they may need directly in their space.

With this platform, WnD demonstrates its commitment to providing customers with ever-increasing services and information. And, to facilitate access to information regardless of location, this site is also accessible on tablets and smartphones.

In 2022, WnD will offer an online store that will allow you to order marketing tools (catalogs, flyers, textiles, goodies, etc.) directly and completely independently.

The Concept Studio Showroom WnD
Share the brand image by equipping partner points of sale

On the partner sales outlet side, WnD's territorial coverage continues. In 2022, 20 new clients are expected to join the comprehensive support program, which will allow them to benefit from WnD's expertise and know-how and benefit from long-term brand image.

WnD sales representatives assisted them in setting up the point of sale to create a truly bespoke showroom in partnership with the brand. This successful integration opened up new development opportunities for partner companies and allowed them to gain market share by improving the completion rate of joinery sales.

EDGE Windows and Patio Doors
A WnD exclusive

Designed specifically for the French market, the EDGE range of windows and patio doors is available exclusively from WnD. The profile design gives it a unique, modern character. Thanks to the slimmer frames (reduced central opening of 112 mm), the glazed surface is enlarged to let more light into the home. The window's modern design is highlighted by the CUBE handle (available in 4 colors) exclusively dedicated to the EDGE range.

EDGE windows and patio doors are a perfect fit for modern homes with their wide range of veneer colors (up to 40 colors to choose from: smooth for a modern style or in wood tones for a more classic look). It is available in standard frame, renovation and insulation 100-120-140-160. To make it highly thermally efficient, the WnD Research & Development teams have improved its insulation capacity with a 5-chamber profile and a frame depth of 70 mm which guarantee sound protection, eliminate heat loss, air infiltration and condensation.

In terms of glazing, the EDGE range is equipped as standard with reinforced thermal double glazing (4/20/4) with argon filling (insulating gas). It is also available in triple glazing (4/12/4/12/4) ensuring interesting heat transfer coefficients (Uw: 1,3 W/m2K with double glazing and 1,0 W/m2K with triple glazing).

ETRUM ECO windows and patio doors
A tailor-made range to meet the expectations of low-energy construction

The new generation of ETRUM ECO WnD windows and French windows is custom-made to meet the requirements of BBC construction. The thickness of the profile, the triple sealing system and the possibility of triple glazing allow WnD to offer on the new market (specifiers, developers and craftsmen joiners) joinery which considerably reduces the energy consumption of the home.

The sealing of ETRUM ECO joinery is reinforced with a 3-gasket system that ensures a high level of thermal and acoustic insulation. This additional seal creates a "dry chamber" between the frame and the leaf, protecting against moisture and heat loss. The ETRUM ECO WnD thus benefits from the most efficient insulation on the market (up to Uw = 0,6 W/m2k).

WnD supports its customers with a comprehensive and high-performance PVC range, expert advice, and fast, custom-made production deadlines. By focusing on the quality and comfort of its joinery, the manufacturer continues to expand its network based on a relationship of trust.
