Only the glass surface is visible

With the NO-FRAME window, all frames and technical elements are completely concealed within the wall construction. From both the exterior and interior, only a pure glass surface remains visible — without interruptions, edges or visible profiles.

Pure architecture without compromise

Without visible frames, the NO-FRAME system represents more than just a contemporary aesthetic. It gives architects and designers complete freedom in shaping façades and interior spaces, without visual interruptions.

The exterior creates a uniform, clean surface that emphasises the architectural lines of the building, while the interior side adapts seamlessly to the design of the space.

Full functionality – inward-opening window

The NO-FRAME window retains all the functionality of a conventional window while allowing full inward opening along the vertical axis. This ensures easy access, natural ventilation and a greater sense of spatial openness. All functionality is seamlessly integrated into the minimalist design.

Tilt opening for ventilation

Despite its fully concealed appearance, the NO-FRAME window retains all the functionality of modern windows.

Tilt opening along the horizontal axis allows efficient and secure ventilation without affecting the minimalist appearance of the window.

Wall panel – integrated with the interior

On the interior side, the NO-FRAME window can be finished with a wall or decorative panel that visually connects with the interior design of the space. The panel allows aesthetic coordination with materials, colours or patterns, while emphasising architectural clarity without visible frames.

Plaster finish – fully concealed integration

For a completely minimalist appearance, the NO-FRAME window can be fully finished with plaster. The frame and all technical elements remain hidden within the wall, leaving only the glass surface visible.

The result is the effect of an invisible window, where the glass blends seamlessly into the wall, creating a perfectly clean and uninterrupted architectural line.

Hidden handle – discreet elegance

The handle is concealed directly within the window profile and remains invisible until needed. With a simple pull, it allows the window to be opened and then retracts seamlessly back into the profile after use.
