Professional and readable content on the new KAV website
2020 / 05 / 27
A notable feature of the market for custom doors and windows is that professionals, construction operators and property owners are equally curious about our products and innovative solutions. This was our guiding principle during the development of our new website; the final design follows the layout of quality magazines, while our text-based content aims to provide readers with useful information.
Surveys indicate that, on average, users spend about 3 hours online per day. This may seem a lot, but users spend only a fraction of that on browsing and collecting information from professional sites of a more serious character. The new design of our site aims to help visitors find the information they need even in this short period; our interviews and professional articles also seek to extend, almost unnoticeably, the time our visitors spend acquiring useful information. Our goal is to give visitors to our website the impression of reading a high-end periodical. We also strive to provide our professional visitors with adequate background material. To this end, we created Treasure, a document repository holding the .dwg drawings that architects need for their work – and many other things.
Our new website shows doors and windows as we see them at KAV. We help you find your way and choose the type of door or window you need, be it an aluminium front door, a sliding door without any window or frame, or a minimalist window. Our unique solutions and innovative efforts show the path to your dreams and the future.

Development by KAV of aluminium doors and windows with an all-glass look
Optivison© is unique in Hungary. (KAV is the only player in the small and medium-sized business sector to have developed aluminium doors and windows with an all-glass look for family homes.) Apart from KAV, no one among small and medium-sized enterprises has developed all-glass look aluminium fenestration for family houses.
The system was designed to respond to the needs of our customers: we made the frame flush with the glass by rethinking the structure of tilt and turn windows and balcony doors. Our solution creates a ‘glass wing’ effect, making Optivison© systems the trend-setting doors and windows for modern family homes.

The house that fascinates with its clean simplicity
Premium, minimalistic, clean simplicity – these are the adjectives that immediately come to our mind seeing the residential property dreamt on the basis of the Porsche design. The building was implemented after a design process, unusual from an architect’s point of view, since the developer arrived with very specific plans and designs. We talked about this extraordinary work with the architect, István Unicsovics.

Ethical operations raise even SMEs to the top
Following the large enterprise sector, operating ethically is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized enterprises, too. These companies not only take into account the interests of their clients and suppliers but also those of their environment and employees. They set an example by their activity and attitude and strengthen trust. This attitude may constitute a basis for long-term operation and economic stability, and what is more, employees of the Y and Z generations are more eager to opt for an ethically operating workplace.

Aluminium curtain wall with arches and large glass surfaces
The design was one of the biggest challenges in the production and installation of the aluminium doors and windows of the Reformed Kindergarten in Svábhegy, since more than 700 individual solid angles had to be calculated to create the aluminium curtain wall, which was not only a segmental arch, but also broken at the bottom and top edges. We talked about this process with Zoltán Erdélyi, KAV’s senior engineer.

The evolution of closing systems in Hungary
If one spends many years in a specialised technical segment, sometimes answering questions from a professional interviewer will inadvertently recall the period from the beginning to the present. Studying the evolution of window and door products used in residential buildings is also instructive, because fashion always changes along with demand and financial opportunities. Everyone sees the past differently - we, Hungarians are special in this - but sales figures outweigh perceptions.
