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 customised shades
The hot and dry summers experienced over the last few years due to climate change have made suitable shading solutions ever more important. However, the standard systems available on the market do not meet individual customer needs either in terms of movement mechanisms or their form. That is why KAV’s engineers are offering customised aluminium shades that reflect contemporary trends in building. Károly Lovász, Managing Director of KAV, provides an insight into these special solutions.

We talked about this special job with Mihály Fodor, the Managing Director of the implementing company, and András Havasy, the project’s Technical Director.

Choose big aluminium windows and doors!
The use of aluminium doors and windows in family homes allows increasingly large glass surfaces to appear in residential buildings. Because we spend a large part of our time indoors, high-transparency aluminium windows and sliding doors help to create an almost direct connection with the environment. We discussed with Károly Lovász, the managing director of KAV Hungária, why it is worth choosing large doors and windows.

Using aluminium closing structures might be cheaper and more appropriate
In connection with aluminium closing systems, durability, sleek design and a wide range of application opportunities pop into the mind of most people. Still, due to financial constraints many people do not consider this option when it comes to family home design.

KAV also helps the work of architects
From now on, KAV assists the work of architects with a complimentary consulting service. This is because, closing systems are such special structural elements that their thorough knowledge and following the trends is nearly impossible for those not specialised in this field. Now architects may ask their questions of Norbert Kiss, who worked as a designer for a long time himself, and now he has been strengthening the KAV team for years.

Do we need large glass surfaces everywhere?
Our colleagues are increasingly encountering residential building plans in which large glass surfaces dominate. These concepts are understandable not only from a design perspective but also because of transparency, connection with the environment, and the continuous influx of light. However, in many cases, they cannot be realized, or they require significantly higher investments and more complex alterations to the plans. In our new series, we explore the topic of the dimensions of glass surfaces with Mr. Károly Lovász, the CEO of KAV, and Mr. Csaba Mravik, the Chief Development Engineer.
