In our previous blog, we looked at the different ways to convert your customers to REHAU windows.
That covered off some of the benefits of switching and working with us, but there’s so much more to consider. After all, it’s not just about making the windows but fitting them too.
Here, we’ll dive into the details and lift the lid on the vast number of add-ons your installers will have access to as a REHAU fitter.
Think smarter, not harder
We are always looking for ways to make our windows work harder for you and your installers. That’s why we designed Window.ID.
As you’ll know, when it comes to building materials, traceability has never been more important. The lifecycle of a product, specifically polymer, is now a hot topic for consumers and therefore installers, who want to know where their window has come from and where it will eventually end up.
This technology gives you and your installers access to details about the window’s lifetime. With a busy period on the horizon for installers, this feature will help improve efficiency and speed of installation with the app making assembly data easily accessible.
From information about glazing or thermal and sound insulation values through to test certificates: everything can be stored digitally and is transparent and traceable.
We take sustainability seriously (as you’ll find out later in this blog) and know it’s something weighing heavy on the shoulders of our fabricators too. And when it comes to recycling, our polymer profiles re-enter the circular economy, allowing you and your installers to be part of a responsible supply chain.
REHAU products are fully traceable and transparent.
As always, we are on hand to help. We work with technical partner support via our hotline and a dedicated service team. No matter the question, we can provide the answer.
Ordering made simple
Once you’re set up with your new REHAU profile house and add-ons, such as Window I.D., the last thing you need are bottlenecks in your supply chain.
Meeting demand is a major concern for fabricators and installers which is why we’ve made our ordering process simple. We connect you with installers through the REHAU Connect platform, making it easier than ever to receive jobs and begin fabricating without delay.
Ultimately, we want you to win more orders and not have to worry about stock issues or responding to quotes on an individual basis with unnecessary paperwork. Working with REHAU means your customers receive quotes quickly, speeding up projects and allowing time for new business.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how you’ll receive orders from installers using REHAU Connect:
- You will receive an email notification from your installer when they have a new job for you to quote. The email will contain a direct link to the request on REHAU Connect
- Login to your account using your email address where you can manage all your projects in one place
- Click on the new quotation request and open the file which contains all the necessary information
- Send your quote to win the business
- Your installer accepts your quote and places the order. You’ll receive an email notification, and you can start fabricating straight away
- Confirm the order so both you and your installer have confirmation

Sustainability credentials
As previously mentioned, we take sustainability seriously as a manufacturer and we know the duty we have to our people and our environment. We also know this is something you’ll be considering when switching window profile house and is increasingly a major selling point for installers.
At REHAU, we take recycling seriously and since bringing PVCR into the REHAU group in 2014, we have processed over 13,000 tonnes of postconsumer windows and doors every year.
Our work on sustainability speaks for itself and is something we are proud to share with you and your customers. We believe in a circular economy, where nothing is wasted, and we will bring you and your installers on that journey with us.
Our latest sustainability brochure goes into more detail about the ways we are looking after our planet and people and explains how your installers can shout about their sustainability credentials as a fitter of REHAU products.
