			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The profiles used to manufacture our windows and doors are exclusively designed for <strong>La Finestra</strong> and manufactured by “Profilati S.P.A.” located in Italy. This is an extruding company with more than 50 years of experience and recognized in Europe for its quality products.</p>
<p>Hardware for our doors and windows come from internationally recognized factories such as “KFV” (Germany), “Giesse”, “Monticelli” and “Complastex” (Italy). The materials used are steel 316, steel 304, Zama, extruded aluminum and “EPDM” for the gaskets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The products are assembled using machinery specifically designed for our systems. We keep an extensive inventory of profiles and accessories, sufficient to manufacture and assemble windows and doors for many residential and commercial projects.</p>
