I also inspected my windows today, which were installed this week. We settled on plastic windows with aluminum cladding on the outside.

And I have to say, the windows are absolutely not perfect. I noticed small scratches or dirt on almost every window. Some of the dirt went away with cleaning alcohol, others did not. Some of the windows also show small inclusions.

When using an aluminum bowl, sometimes the gaps don't match or you can see some glue that has squeezed out.

However, what I find very odd are the bottom "panels" that form the end of the aluminum shell. They look like white plastic with only a little paint applied to them. When closed, it is almost invisible on the outside. But you can still do better than that. I must also say that I am often finicky. But my future neighbors had these minor defects as well. The glass inclusions were replaced. So far, I haven't talked to the window manufacturer either. Let's see what he has to say about it. The smaller defects in the plastic can probably be polished out.

In the second photo, you can see that the aluminum cladding doesn't match 100% and one part is sticking out further.
