Redefining transparency and aesthetics in architecture
When an architect envisions the opening of a space,
the primary goal is to create a framework that enhances views, improves the entry of natural light,
and makes the most of the lighting it provides.
In this context, we often seek to maximize the proportion of glass, minimize the presence of frames and profiles,
Thus expressing the growing desire for perfect integration between internal and external environments.
To adequately meet this demand, architects and manufacturers are constantly looking for solutions that reduce visual obstructions caused by structures,
pushing the boundaries of what is technically and statically possible toward simple window frames and sections.
It is produced by a German company with 40 years of experience,
specializing in flexible window and facade solutions such as folding doors, sliding windows,
glass extensions and facade glazing.
An innovation that increases transparency and redefines the aesthetics of sliding windows
The product is considered an innovation that increases transparency and redefines the aesthetics of sliding windows.
The line has an innovative feature: the front area includes a structural glass effect that keeps the side line of sight to a minimum, making it almost invisible.
With a vertical window width of only 2mm.
This achievement is both an aesthetic triumph and a technical breakthrough typically seen in structural glass panels.
The glass panel on the outside almost completely hides the sides of the vertical windows,
Allowing up to 98 percent glazing, with sides of 15 mm wide each,
redefining the look and aesthetics of sliding windows.
Another notable feature is the hidden locking mechanism, discreetly located at the panel level.
They remain invisible from the outside and ensure a smooth, uninterrupted surface.
This not only enhances the aesthetic appearance but also increases the functionality and safety of the window.
The product uses tried and tested trolleys, stainless steel running tracks, track rollers,
This ensures wear-free and low-noise operation, even with individual panel weights up to 1000 kg.
Window provides durability and thermal insulation
Using thick glass in the 56 to 58 mm range, the system combines durability and thermal insulation.
The frames achieve a window thermal transmittance value > -0.8 UW, which means reducing heat exchange, ensuring superior thermal insulation, and maintaining the comfort of interior spaces.
Reducing energy consumption, which contributes to a more sustainable environment.
This is achieved thanks to the fiberglass reinforced plastic used in the front section, bringing the window up to passive construction standards.
The sliding window also offers the option of opening an unsupported corner.
The sliding corner post is integrated directly into the window frame and slides over the stainless steel rail when opened,
This seamlessly connects the interior to the exterior and eliminates the boundaries between spaces.
In addition, the system’s versatility allows for a variety of configurations, including fixed elements and different window versions,
This ensures ideal solutions for projects that prioritize smooth transitions and access to natural light.
A harmonious balance between aesthetics, functionality and sustainability
In a world where contemporary architecture seeks a harmonious balance between aesthetics, functionality and sustainability,
Finding innovative solutions for openings has become a priority.
By reducing frames and profiles, the windows not only redefine window aesthetics;
It also changes the way we interact and perceive the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The almost complete transparency and discreet locking mechanism not only enhances beauty but also increases functionality and security in architectural openings.
