As glazed facades continue their reign in contemporary architecture, today’s window systems are constantly evolving to meet the needs of modern buildings — from improved insulation to sound absorption. These innovative window systems manufactured by Jeld-Wen, Salamander, Reynaers and Kova elegantly fade into the background to bring views into focus, all without compromising functionality.

Northern Tri-Pane Collection by Jeld-Wen

Designed specifically for colder climates, these thermal-performance windows by Jeld-Wen feature two 1.2-centimetre argon-filled air pockets between three panes that add an extra layer of insulation and reduce radiant heat condensation. The interior panes also buffer exterior noise transfer and increase internal sound absorption for a quieter environment. A range of operating styles and frame finishes are available.

GretaFenster by Salamander

German-based window and door manufacturer Salamander recycles end-of-life windows and production waste for the minimalist PVC profiles of the GretaFenster system, which gives them a roughly textured and modern concrete look. The windows themselves are made to equal Passive House standards, with all-weather performance and high UV values. The flexible system can be configured to suit a range of architectural styles.

SlimLine 38 by Reynaers

Offered in three surface styles — inclined Classic, stepped Cubic (shown) or straight with shadow gaps Ferro — the SlimLine 38 series of high-insulation steel-look aluminum windows (and doors) by Reynaers can be customized with concealed hinges and drainage, as well as optional screens, safety balustrades and glass corners for views free of obstructing profiles.

Window Wall System by Kova

Suitable for homes and high-rises, this window wall system by Kova has a tilt-in panel design that can be safely installed from the inside. The kit of parts features an adaptable PVC thermal break (glue or cap) that accommodates different panel materials and thickness and is non-strutted for easy disassembly and recycling.
