Reykjavik under construction on-site visit to the Marriott Edition Hotel construction site

Reykjavik-Mariott-Reynaers-aluminium-homlokzat-fassad-glass-KAV-Hungaria-Gluggar

2019 / 09 / 12

Our staff design, manufacture and deliver façade windows and the vast majority of aluminium building elements for the most complex hotel construction project to date in the capital of Iceland.

We visited the construction site of the Marriott Hotel with Zoltán Nagy, domestic Sales Manager of the unique Reynaers Aluminum System Administrator. At the end of the Icelandic summer, we watched the installation of our products in a 13-degree wind, in glittering sunshine. The installation of larger glass panels had just began, the closure of nodes designed for special meteorological loads and the installation of ground-curtain walls and portal structures. Fire protection and acoustic closures between the floors are started and their components and parts are also supplied by KAV. It was great to see the results of our work as well as the professional on-site construction practice and the quality of the construction as the Icelandic professionals work.

Our products will arrive at the closing floor of the main building of the hotel in these days, but soon the fabrication of the specially reinforced wooden folding doors and the 4 m high flat glazed entrance portals will begin. A lot of preparation and work has been done by our specialists working on the packaging and loading of our products, as a result of which all our products have travelled unharmed, on land and sea, to the construction site in the capital, more than 3000 kilometres away. It was fascinating to see the Icelandic builders’ extremely sophisticated battle with the weather, which included protecting all open wall openings and non-glazed door and window frames with permanent foil and / or backing them with laminated wood panelling. Their continuous installation and relocation is undertaken by a dedicated team, as they can only carry out interior design work on these port buildings by excluding the constant burden of wind from the sea, which often brings precipitation in a variety of physical conditions.
The capital of Iceland is under construction and beautification, of which this building complex will probably be the brightest gem. Of course, we will also report on the finishing touches to the project, illustrating this exemplary and exotic project with some spectacular pictures too.

When a dreamt-of work of art becomes a reality

Properties being created in an ongoing KAV project may nearly be interpreted as works of art. No company with relevant references could be found, either in Hungary or abroad, for the implementation of buildings that were considered unique at the European level too. We talked about this special job with Mihály Fodor, the Managing Director of the implementing company, and András Havasy, the project’s Technical Director.

Facade structures for full transparency

Curtain walls connect several large glass surfaces into a single structure, many times in an invisible manner. Initially these elements were exclusively used in communal building technology but, with the penetration of the minimalistic style, it also appeared in the family home segment. Today it is the most dynamically developing branch of the closing structure market, in that these surfaces are suitable for individual solutions where only the imagination of the client and the designers can set the boundaries.

The Vizafogó parish lodge has been renewed with KAV support

The full building structure, energy renovation and functional extension of the St. Martin of Tours parish lodge has been completed. The concept of this building on Váci út in Budapest, serving religious purposes, was developed by the head of our company, Károly Lovász. And although the implementation was performed by others through the public procurement procedure, KAV supported and checked the entire process as professional advisor during the works. We talked about this five year process with Dr Gábor Tamás Juhász, the parish priest

Aluminium doors and windows with custom solutions

The founding of KAV Hungária was also triggered by an innovative idea: why not introduce aluminium doors and windows to the family home market? Since then, our own developments, individual solutions, needs assessment and construction work organisation have become the defining elements of the company. Károly Lovász, the managing director of KAV, Gábor Csóti, the founder of the Gamechangers community and Kálmán Szabó, the host of the podcast by the Association for Excellence Public Benefit Association, spoke about innovation, the underlying managerial thinking and organisational structure.

Wondering how an aluminium-framed window or door is manufactured? What happens in the machining centre? How are aluminium doors milled, reinforced, and machined in the production process? What is the size of glass surfaces that can be produced? And how to assemble a window?

The property was built in the vicinity of water and nature, with full transparency, clarity and harmony as its main features. The house, with its unique shapes, could be completed at a very high standard of quality without making compromises. We spoke about this process with György Pintér, the owner of the house.

A smart home requires a different kind of building use awareness

Smart homes are no longer a feature of futuristic novels and films but a part of our present. When building premium-class homes, automation and building systems that help its inhabitants’ live are often a basic requirement, which also affects the design of windows and doors. Our new series introduces you to the world of smart homes. Our goal is to provide adequate knowledge for decision-making and for starting the design of a house.

ALUMINIUM DOORS AND WINDOWS AND THE KAV HOME

For a long time, aluminium doors and windows were just the privilege of communal buildings, offices and the exclusive family home market. KAV Home was created to provide a value-for-money solution for customers who have never dared to dream of aluminium doors and windows. Trends and solutions are also available with these products, which are very well adapted to the customer’s needs.

A communal gastronomic space where the fusion of outdoor and indoor is facilitated by KAV glass portals

BABA Budapest is not merely a restaurant; it is a space where one can feel at home throughout the day. The main principles of design focused on the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces and the creation of a genuine sense of community experience. We had the opportunity to discuss the BABA with its lead designer, Dóra Fónagy, while sitting at one of its tables, and during our conversation, we ourselves experienced why it provides a truly unique experience.

The evolution of blinds

Climate change and increasingly sophisticated customer demands have accelerated the evolution of shading systems, not just of windows and doors. While in the past the goal was complete darkening, nowadays light control and maximum transparency are the main considerations. Thanks to this, most client choose lamellar and textile shadings.

We make our decisions based on local characteristics

Our cooperation is very good, and I think it is very important that both sides work transparently. You have to think of it as shared engineering thinking and a creative process as we work together.

Aluminium window trends based on customer needs

When it comes to aluminium windows and doors, the name ‘KAV’ has become associated with custom client needs. Many of the ideas and plans that come to our attention can lead later on to the development of aluminium windows and doors. So, if we want to present the trends for 2022, it is worth starting with what Károly Lovász, Managing Director of KAV, and Csaba Mravik, Chief Development Engineer, have experienced and what products are now being sought by builders of family homes.

Aluminium windows and services at KAV Home

Thanks to this, and our unique working method and approach, we have been market leaders in our field for many years. Thanks to KAV Home, aluminium doors and windows are now available to a wider range of customers in the field of family house projects. We spoke to Erzsébet Kardos-Tamási, head of sales, and Károly Lovász, Executive Manager of KAV, about the services we offer in this product range.

Custom windows and doors beyond the standards

Just as in many areas of the world, ‘unique’ and ‘self-expression’ are the strongest buzzwords; so change the needs of architects and developers. However, most door and window manufacturers are finding it difficult to go beyond the standard items, although this area also offers many innovations in the field of architecture when it comes to sincerely rethinking structures.
