FERROFINESTRA is a thermally broken window system for small and large façade portions in the tradition ofthe steel windows as crafted by artisans during the nineteenth and middle of the twentieth century.

Built from 5mm solid metal sheet rather than from extruded or folded profiles, FERROFINESTRA allows for seamlessly welded joints and a profile depth which can be adjusted to the thickness of the insulated glass unit.

The result is a truly minimalist window which, unlike propriety systems, can be modified and adapted to suit the architects’ requirements without imposing compromises on profile dimensions and opening types.

The innovative patent-pending thermal break is integrated into the profile in such a way that the profile sizes especially for operable units (i.e. casement, tilt) remain within the classic dimensions of the true artisan metal window of the past, while guaranteeing structural integrity and providing excellent performance values for thermal insulation, air/water/wind tightness and sound insulation.

The fully visible hardware adds a “Retro” feel while providing multiple locking points in line with modern window systems.
