Maximum design freedom

Thanks to the modular profile and sealing system, a wide range of design options can be implemented: an open roof construction, a completely glazed building envelope, a curved roof or the integration of photovoltaic panels.

Project solutions from a single source

We support you in the planning of the building envelope with technical designs and calculations and develop an individual solution for your project with you. Together with our partners, we supply you with a patented and tested complete package – from the aluminium profile system to accessories and the load-bearing substructure.

Energy-efficient and sustainable

The aluminium profile systems are made of Hydro CIRCAL 75R. This particularly sustainable aluminium alloy contains at least 75% end-of-life aluminium – i.e. aluminium scrap. Only 5% of the energy of primary aluminium is required for production – with the same high quality.
