Ran the numbers on a few dozen renovation projects this year and the pattern is always the same: contractors pay retail prices for fittings because sourcing wholesale takes too many phone calls and too much back-and-forth for the discount to feel worth it.

Here's the math that changes that:

• Retail door + frame: ~€180-250 per unit

• Wholesale trade pricing: ~€110-160 per unit

• On a 10-door renovation job, that's €700-900 back in your pocket — often more than your labor margin on the job

The friction isn't the discount, it's the process. Most suppliers make you negotiate per order, wait days for a quote, and re-explain your business every time.

We built Maison & Menuiserie's Trade Account to remove that friction entirely — one flat account, wholesale pricing locked in from day one, and a direct line for bulk quotes on doors, windows, and fittings. No renegotiating, no waiting.

If you're still pricing out fittings retail per-project, you're leaving margin on the table. Worth fixing before your next job.
