Saving time, keeping safe Casa Noastra
Romania’s leading PVC window and door manufacturer Casa Noastra is helping its customers through the coronavirus pandemic with an online showroom for its QFORT product range
SAVING TIME, KEEPING SAFE
Responding to the restrictions on movement during the Covid emergency, Romania’s Casa Noastra has launched the first QFORT Online Showroom for thermal insulation windows and doors in the country. Customers can book an online appointment for a discussion with a QFORT representative, during which, they can take a look at the products that interest them on display in the showroom and receive advice from QFORT specialists. Following the video call, the QFORT consultant will send the customer an offer for the selected products.
The Online Showroom project started in Romania in March 2020 and will soon be expanded to Italy and Canada.
At the end of 2019, QFORT announced the opening of a new showroom in Craiovița, Romania, to showcase some of the most important ranges of thermal insulation products in its portfolio.
These include PVC and aluminium windows and balcony doors with insulating glass from the Stars by QFORT range, PVC and aluminium entrance doors from the Baby I’m Home! Range, PVC and aluminium sliding doors from the Paysage range as well as doors’ aluminium sliders from the Panorama range, not to mention the shading systems from the Discret by QFORT range, with Venetian blinds and exterior shutters.
Export drive
QFORT was established in 2008 as a new brand by Casa Noastra, Romania’s leading manufacturer of PVC windows and doors. In 2009 the company began exporting its products under the new brand name - initially to Austria and Italy - and set up a partnership with VEKA AG, the European leader in the production of PVC profiles.
Today QFORT is recognised throughout the European market as a major brand in thermally insulated windows and doors. It operates in Romania, Italy, and France as well as in Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. It has built up state-of-the-art production facilities and an integrated business model that covers all its activities, from production to consulting and support services.
QFORT products are designated under a star system, as used in the hotel industry, offering 4-star, 5-star, 6-star and, most recently, 7-star ranges of windows. The 4-star ranges are composed of PVC with depths of 70mm, while higher stars have different depths and are certified for either more severe weather conditions or optimum energy-saving.
QFORT also produces an innovative range of doors with a new security system, as well as sliding doors with automatic opening. There are also ranges of different colours for both windows and doors.
Most QFORT products are optimised for use in residential rather than commercial buildings and are produced using LowE (low emissivity) insulating glass units with an excellent thermal and sound insulation as well as solar protection.

In Romania it is acknowledged as a reference point in the country’s industrial economy and the quality of its products is recognised by its customers throughout its constantly expanding European markets in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Romania, and other European countries.
Casa Noastra has a workforce of more than 1,000 and has invested more than 30 million euros in the last few years in business. It now has the largest production capacity of PVC windows and doors in South-Eastern Europe and operates a network of over 58 stores in 44 cities in Romania, and more than 1,000 dealers in Europe.
Minimalist elegance
One of the latest advanced products in the QFORT range is the Panorama series of sliding doors which provide increased visibility to the outside as well as increased weather resistance thanks to stateof-the-art technical specifications. With their elegant, minimalist style, the Panorama doors help to enhance the feeling of space and light in any room. The narrow profiles of the range make it possible to hide them in the walls and the floor for an even greater sense of interior space and brightness.
The doors are suitable for any type of space, with from one to six movable frames. They can even be used to join two sliding 90-degree angles if the installation requires it. They are designed to ensure easy operation either through manual or motorised systems. n
