Modern architecture is characterised by large window constructions that create immense light-filled spaces. Even when renovating heritage buildings narrow frames are demanded in order to maintain a precise shape of historical windows. With the use of GEALAN S 9000 system narrow frames are perfectly applicable. This involves using 25% more glass and allows letting in more light.
Significantly smaller frame
Upon direct comparison it has been established that GEALAN-LUMAXX system is significantly narrower compared to frame constructions used before. Earlier mullion (French Casement) constructions frequently reached up to 150 mm and were wider. Unsightly massive bars distorted window proportions and prevented more light from flowing in. Now, upon application of the new system, narrow window constructions are available without compromising on comfort and safety.
Optimised geometry parameters
When GEALAN-LUMAXX system was being developed, all frame geometry parameters were optimised by minimizing profile size as much as possible. The designers also strive for balanced ratio of thermal insulation and static characteristics as well as pursue harmony of fitting elements. Symmetrical single mullion allows even more flexibility in window design.
No compromises
Although narrow constructions are now a priority, when a new frame sash and mullion profile was being developed, static parameters were retained. Both constructions contain steel which, due to its static characteristics, may be applicable in elements up to the size of 2.3 m (white) and up to 2.2 m (in colour).
