What 3BAIES does

3BAIES is a family-owned French home renovation company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Saint Symphorien-sur-Coise, Rhône. It specializes in the design, fabrication, and installation of custom joinery and closure solutions for residential customers, operating five agencies across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The product portfolio spans windows, doors, gates, fencing, verandas, pergolas, carports, solar panels, air conditioning, and stair lifts, supported by an in-house aluminum fabrication workshop that produces frames and metal structures for verandas and pergolas.

The business runs a no-subcontracting model with approximately 123-124 in-house employees, covering end-to-end execution from initial in-home consultation to installation. It holds Qualibat and RGE certifications, which qualify its renovation work for French state subsidies (MaPrimeRénov', éco-PTZ) and related tax credits, materially expanding the addressable demand pool. Pricing is quote-based, generated through in-home sales consultations, and is paired with consumer installment financing through partner FINANCO. Home automation integration is delivered via a partnership with Somfy, and customer insurance offerings are bundled through Allianz (via Thonnerieux). The supplier ecosystem includes VELUX, SEPALUMIC, Bouvet, Minco, Gypass, Galaxie, Heolian, Lakal, Thiebaut, KSM, and Euradif.

3BAIES reports 24 years of operating history, more than 80,000 completed projects, and an annual run-rate exceeding 4,500 projects. The category is structurally local-trust driven, and the company's distribution model (multi-agency regional footprint plus in-home sales) is built around that buyer behavior. Recent strategic activity has focused on extending the product line into energy/thermal solutions and on bundling adjacent services (financing, automation, insurance) to raise average order value within the existing regional customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Lapeyre: Lapeyre is a long-established French home-improvement brand (now part of the Group Saint-Gobain ecosystem) offering windows, doors, verandas, and renovation solutions through showrooms and installers. It competes broadly with 3 BAIES but as part of a wider portfolio rather than a focused joinery specialist.
• Castorama: Castorama is a major French DIY/home-improvement retailer (Kingfisher group) carrying windows, doors, and renovation products across broad price points. It serves overlapping residential customers but competes via retail rather than 3 BAIES's bespoke in-home installation model.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France: Saint-Gobain is the largest French building-materials group, parent of Tryba and distributor of joinery products through POINT.P and other networks. It is an indirect broad incumbent with overlapping reach into the residential renovation supply and installation chain that 3 BAIES competes in.

Direct peers

• Tryba: Tryba is one of France's largest window, door, and home renovation networks with hundreds of regional installers operating under a comparable custom-installation model. It directly overlaps 3 BAIES in product scope (PVC/alu/wood joinery) and target customer (residential homeowners), making it the most analogous competitor despite its national scale.
• Lorenove: Lorenove is a French home renovation brand focused on windows, doors, and associated works, distributed via regional franchisees with an in-home advisory sales model. It directly overlaps with 3 BAIES in custom exterior joinery and target customer.
• KparK: KparK is a French franchise network specializing in windows, doors, verandas, pergolas, and home renovation, with a comparable in-home consultation sales motion. It targets the same residential-renovation customer and competes head-to-head with 3 BAIES across similar product categories in French regional markets.
• FenêtreA: FenêtreA is a French home-improvement retailer specializing in custom windows, doors, verandas, and pergolas with in-home consultation and installation. It shares 3 BAIES's custom-installation positioning and primary product mix.

Others

• VELUX: VELUX is a global roof-window manufacturer whose products are explicitly installed by 3 BAIES (Fenêtre de Toit VELUX). It is a key upstream supplier and category-defining brand that anchors part of 3 BAIES's product line, making it a strategic ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor.
• Somfy: Somfy is 3 BAIES's named home-automation technology partner and a leading French manufacturer of motorization and connected devices for shutters, blinds, gates, and garage doors. It is included as an ecosystem/partner comparable rather than a direct competitor, given their mutual commercial relationship.

Emerging players

• Technitoit: Technitoit is a French home-renovation company with national reach across roofing, insulation, facade, windows, and energy renovations, with an integrated in-house installation model similar to 3 BAIES. It is an emerging multi-product competitor that increasingly targets the same subsidy-driven renovation demand.
