Timeframe given was very limited for fabrication and installation of more than 360 individual sizes and double glassed windows (over 1000 glasses in total). Completion of supply and installation had to happen within less than two months from the date of actual measurement till the building’s opening function date. And we did it!

Mario Schmidt, MD, Lingel Doors & Windows Technologies Pvt. Ltd.


Creating sub frames attached to the RCC slabs covered with Thermocol blocks and finishing the work within a timeframe of less than two months from the approval of all samples was made possible with Lingel's teams in India and Germany. The development was undertaken by Lingel's German R&D team at its headquarters, and the onsite planning was done along with the steel contractor.

Lingel was able to take the entire responsibility for fabrication of each window as per the actual size due to onsite fabrication tolerances of the steel sub-frames. Lingel ensured quality in product and execution, as all its products are fabricated as per the actual size. The responsibility of correct measurements was totally Lingel's. Its site team coordinated with the civil contractor and other agencies, including architects, and provided the final action plan to the customer and the project management team.
