I. Product Quality
- Strict Quality Standards
China has a complete industrial standard system, and door and window manufacturing enterprises are required to follow strict national standards. For example, there are clear classification and testing standards for aspects such as airtightness, watertightness, and wind load resistance performance of doors and windows. Standards like GB/T 7106 – 2019 “Test Method for Air Permeability, Water Tightness and Wind Load Resistance Performance of Building Exterior Doors and Windows” regulate the specific processes and indicators for testing the performance of doors and windows. Under the constraints of such standards, suppliers can produce reliable quality door and window products, ensure the stable performance of the products after installation and use, and reduce quality problems such as air leakage and water leakage.
The production of Chinese doors and windows follows strict standards. Therefore, at the production level, great attention is paid to details. Only by succeeding in details can the products be qualified and delivered to the corresponding customers. Before delivering the products, random sample inspections of the products should be carried out to carefully check the product quality so that the products delivered to customers are those that customers like, which increases the possibility of repeat purchases by customers.
2、Diversified Quality Levels to Meet Different Needs
There are numerous door and window suppliers in China, and the product quality levels are rich. Whether it is a high-end construction project with extremely high quality requirements or an ordinary residential project that emphasizes cost performance, suitable suppliers can be found. High-end suppliers usually adopt advanced production equipment and high-quality raw materials, and the doors and windows produced are very fine in terms of materials and craftsmanship. For example, broken bridge aluminum alloy doors and windows can effectively insulate heat. Some suppliers that focus on cost performance can also make their products meet the basic usage functions, such as plastic-steel doors and windows used in some simple warehouses and temporary buildings.
The diversified quality levels reflect the diversified needs of the market for doors and windows. Only by catering to customers’ designs and preferences as much as possible can more market share be won. It is necessary to start from the development trend of the market and the direction of market demand. Conduct research and development for specific overseas markets, target the styles and materials liked by overseas customers, and be close to the local customs of different countries to win a larger market share. In the market, it is necessary to establish the brand style of one’s own company as much as possible to win more customers.
II. Cost-benefit
- Competitive Prices
The Chinese door and window industry has a large scale and has obvious economies of scale advantages. Mass production reduces the cost of raw material procurement, and labor costs and equipment amortization costs in the production process can also be effectively controlled. This makes Chinese doors and windows more price-competitive in the international market. Cooperating with Chinese suppliers enables one to obtain reasonably priced door and window products, thus reducing the overall cost of construction projects or decoration projects. For example, at the same quality level, the price of aluminum alloy doors and windows produced in China may be 20% – 30% lower than those of some European and American countries.
Based on the Chinese market and compared with other countries, a more competitive price should be set as much as possible to attract more customers to cooperate with China. China’s door and window technology and quality are at the world’s leading level. China’s supply chain is complete and the delivery speed is fast.
2、Reduced Transportation Costs (for Neighboring Countries or Regions)
For Asian neighboring countries and regions, China has a superior geographical location and relatively short transportation distances. This helps reduce the time cost and expenses in the transportation process. For example, in East Asia and Southeast Asia, door and window products shipped from Chinese ports can quickly reach their destinations, and the maritime transportation cost is relatively low. Compared with importing doors and windows from European and American countries, the transportation cost may be saved by about 30% – 50%.
III. Technology and Innovation
- Advanced Production Technology
The Chinese door and window industry has been continuously carrying out independent innovation on the basis of introducing and absorbing foreign advanced technologies. Many suppliers own advanced CNC processing equipment and can accurately cut, drill and assemble door and window components. For example, in the production of broken bridge aluminum alloy doors and windows, a high-precision gluing process is adopted to make the thermal insulation strips combine better with the aluminum alloy, improving the heat insulation performance of the doors and windows. Meanwhile, some suppliers are also constantly making progress in surface treatment technologies, such as adopting new powder spraying processes to make the coatings of doors and windows more uniform, durable and with more lasting colors.
Product Innovation Ability
Chinese door and window suppliers can quickly launch innovative products according to market demands. As people’s requirements for energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligence are getting higher and higher, suppliers are actively researching and developing new products. For example, doors and windows with intelligent sensing systems are launched, which can automatically sense wind and rain and close, or the opening and closing of doors and windows can be controlled through mobile apps. There are also some new composite doors and windows with good heat insulation performance, adopting multi-layer structures and new heat insulation materials, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
IV. Service Support
- Customization Services
Chinese door and window suppliers are good at providing customization services. They can carry out customized production according to customers’ specific needs, such as architectural styles, door and window sizes, colors, opening methods, etc. For example, for some ancient building restoration projects, the doors and windows need to match the traditional architectural styles. Suppliers can make wooden carved doors and windows with traditional Chinese charm according to the style characteristics of ancient buildings. For modern commercial buildings, they can provide large panoramic glass doors and windows to meet the design requirements of transparency and fashion of the buildings.
Perfect After-sales Guarantee
In order to gain an advantage in market competition, Chinese door and window suppliers attach great importance to after-sales services. They usually provide product quality guarantees, such as providing a warranty period of 1 – 5 years for door and window frames and a warranty period of half a year to 1 year for hardware accessories. In case of quality problems during the warranty period, they will provide timely repair or replacement services. Moreover, many suppliers can also provide installation guidance services to ensure that the doors and windows are correctly installed and can play their best performance.
