Improving window design is a new trend in window manufacturing. What has changed?
First, the glass unit. Customary glass acquires new properties: we now have energy saving, super tough, flame proof, smart, and electrofunctional types of glass. The new qualities of glass provide new architectural options. Today the glass not only provides access of natural light and environmental protection, but also gives expressive look to buildings and constructions.
Second, the accessories. A wide variety of advanced locking systems makes fitment producers invent new and modern facilities for regulation and adjustment of window casements, including remote control, intellectual airing, invisible pivots, and child safety locks.
And third, profiles and sealing tapes. The new sealing tapes have long-standing living periods and are less subject to wear and ageing. Profiles are stable in color and strength performance. For example, innovative polymer coating provides brightness and advanced contamination protection. Designs and constructions of frames and casements, as well as décor elements and accessories are expanding. The SKOLKOVO Centre for Urban Studies (SUrbC), manufacturers of translucent structures, architects, designers, and builders interact with each other, and this also contributes to business development.
