Ö5 uPVC Profile Series — Sliding and Casement Windows
The Ö5 series is designed for residential window and door applications. It includes sliding and casement profile systems, allowing fabricators to select an opening style that suits the available space and the requirements of the building.
The sliding system works well in rooms where a window that opens inward or outward would take up additional space. The casement system provides another option for residential windows and doors where the design calls for hinged shutters.
Ö5 Profile Sliding Series
The Ö5 sliding series suits residential spaces where the available opening area is limited. Sliding shutters move along a track rather than swinging into the room, making them a practical choice for bedrooms, apartments and other compact spaces.
The system also includes a sealing design for applications where weather exposure needs attention, including suitable high-rise installations. The final performance depends on the complete window design, fabrication and installation.
