Family business for over 140 years
The Bau- und Möbelschreinerei Appel GmbH in Hollfeld near Bayreuth is a fourth-generation family business that has specialized in manufacturing custom-made windows and doors for over 140 years. The window manufactory produces wooden windows, wood-aluminium windows (Gutmann system), entrance doors and conservatories in-house, and provides planning, consulting, installation as well as customer service and maintenance from a single source. Plastic windows and interior doors are sourced from regional manufacturers and integrated into the planning. In addition, the company offers retrofitting of weather-resistant aluminium profiles onto existing wooden windows, replacement of glazing (insulating, single and ornamental glass), as well as renovation of old buildings and heritage protection with reconstruction of historic windows. The basic materials are domestic woods, along with aluminium, glass and stainless steel for applications. Through the service 'Wir für Schreiner' (We for Carpenters), the company also acts as a supplier, taking on contract work for other carpentry businesses, from unfinished windows to finished entrance doors. Delivery and installation take place in the Upper Franconia/Bavaria region.
