We are an authorized distributor for several Chinese window and door manufacturers. Best market prices, shop drawings and take-off done for you, shipped and delivered to your job site or your house.
In short: Alex Glass Construction is an authorized distributor for several Chinese window and door manufacturers. We work directly with the factory, with no importer or dealer in between, which is how we get the best market price on a made-to-order window package. We prepare the shop drawings, take off the order from your plans, place it with the factory, ship it, and deliver it to your job site or your house. Supply only, or supply and installation by our own crews.
Most windows sold in New York pass through three or four hands before they reach the opening: the factory, an importer, a regional distributor, a dealer. Each one adds a margin and none of them adds a window. As an authorized distributor we buy from the manufacturer directly, so the price you see is the factory price plus our work, not a chain of markups. We wrote about how that chain works in how windows are really sold; this is the short version of what it means for you:
In the video: a factory order arriving in October 2026: plywood crates coming off the truck, a lid lifted to show the windows wrapped and padded inside, and the crates strapped on the liftgate for delivery to the house.
Every unit travels in its own crate, labeled with the order and the opening it belongs to.
Shop drawings. From your architectural plans or our site survey we prepare the shop drawings: every opening with its size, configuration, swing, glass, color and hardware. You or your architect approve them before anything is made, so what arrives is what was drawn. See design, planning and drawings.
Take-off of the order. We count and size every window and door from the plans, check them against the rough openings on site where the building exists, and turn them into a factory order with nothing missing and nothing extra. On a new building this is where the masonry opening, rough opening and unit size arithmetic is done once, correctly.
Ordering and production. We place the order with the factory, follow production, and send you the lead time and the ship date. Our guide to when to order windows explains how to plan the order around the construction schedule.
Shipping. Units are crated at the factory in plywood crates, one unit or one opening per crate, wrapped and padded, and shipped to our yard. We handle the freight and the paperwork.
Delivery to your job site or your house. We deliver the crates to the site on our own trucks with a liftgate, to the floor or the driveway you tell us, on the day you need them. Crates are labeled by opening so the crew unloads them in order.
Thermally broken aluminum windows and doors — fixed, casement, tilt-and-turn, sliding, bifold and entrance doors — with insulated low-E glass, in any RAL color, with the profile, thermal break, hardware and glass named on the quote. This is the line described on our non-branded aluminum systems page: the brand premium is gone, the specification is not. Where a named European or American brand is the right answer for a project, we say so and quote it alongside.
