Window systems from standard to composite, tailor-made for development projects

In the designs of residential buildings, plastic windows prevail, mainly due to their favorable price. On the other hand, the properties and design of window profiles play a significant role. It is a fact that the possibilities of plastic windows in terms of artistic design are unparalleled. The leading German manufacturer REHAU, for example, has over 400 color solutions and designs in its portfolio, including imitations of aluminum and wood (catalog KALEIDO COLOR). However, windows have also made significant advancements in the construction of profiles. When REHAU introduced composite material profiles RAU-FIPRO X (a combination of PVC and glass fibers) years ago, it was a significant step forward. The latest generation of this material has given architects almost free rein in choosing large dimensions while maintaining a slim, elegant structure. As mentioned, the selection of systems is broad and depends on specific preferences. In a similar way, one might choose a car. In the "basic version," REHAU offers tested window profiles Brillant-Design. Better attributes are represented by the SYNEGO profile, for example, from the perspective of thermal insulation properties. However, a demanding investor would prefer the composite GENEO or the latest ARTEVO profile. The main differences need to be sought in thermal insulation parameters, sound insulation, safety, construction, and dimensional options. In proximity to busy streets, for example, ARTEVO window systems are incredibly effective in eliminating outdoor noise. And because large-format window systems, including lift-and-slide doors, have penetrated apartment buildings, composite windows are perfectly suited for these situations. Let's also remind that all windows can be dual-colored: differently designed interior/exterior. However, the latest ARTEVO takes window systems a step further. Although the maximum dimensions of sashes remain the same as with its brother GENEO (height up to 2.8 m), ARTEVO offers a slimmer structure with elegantly executed details. Additionally, it provides greater natural light and increased safety.

The number of references for residential buildings with REHAU window profiles is growing. Among the newest is the attractive Liliová residence in the center of Liberec (realized by DAFE-PLAST with SYNEGO windows); the same company supplied the PROGRESS window system (GENEO profiles) for the Na Skalce apartment project (Humpolec). SYNEGO windows can also be found in the apartment building project in Trutnov (realization by MS Okna) and so on. According to the current trend, the high demands of apartment housing seekers are forcing developers to invest more and more in higher quality window systems, and manufacturers such as REHAU are responding to this reality. For example, by offering additional premium features or complementary equipment for their window systems. And let's not forget the ecological aspect of profile manufacturing, which has been especially important to REHAU for many years.
