Breaking new ground

Wicona’s new window series maximizes energy efficiency to meet passive house criteria, and it allows design flexibility with its modular design.

WICLINE 95 achieves a Uf value up to 0.68 W/(m²K) and a Uw value less than 0.80 W/(m²K), without the need for thermal inserts in the sash or frame profile. Uw is used to determine the overall value of the window, which incorporates the values Ug for the glazing and Uf for the frame.

Sapa Building System’s Avantis 95 series is based on classical window design principles and requires no additional fabrication steps. It can be constructed as a normal window, resulting in smooth, fast and easy implementation in production and in traditional on-site installation.

Sapa's portfolio of building systems brands ensures a proper response to the segments of the global market for facades, windows and doors.
