20% more light. Elegance of aluminium
WINDOW APPEARANCE
ARTECH ALUSLIM windows were designed for energy-efficient constructions and modern, brave architectural designs. ARTECH ALUSLIM window system may be used to create impressive glazing in buildings, in which window profiles are practically invisible.
UNIQUE FEATURES OF ARTECH ALUSLIM:
MINIMALISTIC STYLE. ELEGANCE OF ALUMINIUM
Slim sash and aluminium on the outer side make the window look unique.
20% MORE DAYLIGHT
Due to unique construction from durable aluminium, window sash is slimmer and allows more light to enter inside.
ELEGANT INSIDE – CONCEALED HINGES
hinges concealed inside the window’s frame
ELEGANT OUTSIDE – WINDOW FRAME ENCASED IN THE BUILDING’S FAÇADE
We recommend building-in a window frame in a building’s façade, which will give us a very slim window and the effect of even larger glazing’s size.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
Due to unique construction from durable aluminium, window sash is slimmer and allows more light to enter inside.
COLOURS
ARTECH ALUSLIM line windows – available in RAL colours for outdoor and indoor applications. Veneers in the colour of wood and aluminium are available for indoor applications. The most popular ones are presented below:
HANDLES
A few colour versions of handles are available.
COLOURS OF GASKETS
2 colours of rubber gaskets are available: grey and black.
INTER-GLAZING FRAMES
7 colours of frames are available.
ANTI-DIRT GASKET
Additional gasket is used in ARTECH ALUSLIM windows protecting frame’s grove against dirt.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
In new houses, windows take an increasing area of walls. In order to reduce heat losses, only windows of low thermal transmittance UW for the whole window shall be used. The lower the parameter, the less energy escapes outwards.
The following elements are applied in ARTECH ALUSLIM windows ensuring a very good thermal transmittance value for the whole window UW=1.0 W/m2K:
PANES THERM 3pane glazing unit (48 mm) 
Built of 3 panes, in which 2 panes have thermal insulation coating and inter-glazing space is filled with noble gas (argon). Thermal transmittance value for the pane is very low, warranting a very warm window.
76 mm deep profile with aluminium coating
This combination provides higher thermal insulation performance.`
3 gaskets
Gaskets protect against heat loss, noise, permeation of moisture or dust ingress. Additional third gasket is used in ARTECH ALSLIM windows increasing windows’ insulation performance.
Thermal transmittance UW for representative 1 x 1 m Artech ALUSLIM window (3 glazing panes, 76 mm Artech profile) is 1,0 W/ m2K.
FUNCTIONALITY
Functionality of a window is not limited just to the possibility to open and tilt a window. Use innovative solutions of ARTECH THERM line, which will make the use of windows and balcony doors easier.
Handle-controlled brake of balcony doors– open balcony doors do not close in case of draught or wind.
Balcony doors in version with low aluminium doorsill, allowing balcony doors to be flush faced with a floor.
Closing balcony doors from outwards – especially useful for e.g. smokers. Little pull handle and special fittings allow for closing balcony doors from outwards.
Window ventilation (small tilt) – protects a room against water condensation on glass panes and the risk of mould formation. It is also a good choice during rainy days (rain is not falling inside) and protection against mosquitoes.
Blocking of wind tilt –
tilt window/ balcony door does not close in case of draught.
The highest quality easy-to-close fittings by German Siegenia company (Titan model) – sash does not drop because the system automatically raises the sash during closing.
Blocking system protecting against improper handling for tilt and turn windows/ balcony doors, e.g. protecting against sash falling out from a top hinge.
VENTILATION
All PVC windows are “ultra-tight” and may cause excessive air humidity level in a room, followed by increased risk of mould formation. On the other side, air exchange, especially in winter, costs a vast amount of precious energy. Venting through an open or tilted window occurs very rapidly, causing serious heat losses in a short period of time (approx. 2°C in 10 minutes); therefore, use our innovative ventilation solutions provided in ARTECH ALUSLIM line – choose the best option for you:
ACOUSTIC INSULATION
Noise influences on our health and comfort. If you live nearby a noisy street or in the district where children make a lot of noise, and you want to comfortably rest after work, use ARTECH ALUSLIM windows. Suitable noise reduction coefficient Rw * at the level of 31 dB will protect you against unwanted noise from outside.
* Acoustic insulation of windows is expressed using noise reduction coefficient Rw given in decibels (dB). The higher the Rw value, the less noise gets inside.
If, outdoor sound pressure level is 70 dB (e.g. passing truck) and Rw parameter for a window is 31 dB, the sound pressure inside will be at the level of 39dB.
WINDOW RIGIDITY
Each building expands and contracts, and so initiated stress may potentially damage a window. Therefore, our profiles are built from 6 chambers, steel reinforced along the whole perimeter.
External aluminium warrants suitable rigidity of such a slim window.
NOTE: In a very hot climate, aluminium is an additional protection for PVC against high temperatures.
