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

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.

Aluminium window and door development trends and tendencies

Ever-increasing dimensions, ever-increasing load capacity, automation and integration of structures. These are what Reynaers' staff see as the most striking trends in the development of aluminium windows and doors. We spoke to Zoltán Nagy, Head of Reynaers Aluminium Hungary, and Gergő Hajas, Sales Support Engineer at Reynaers Aluminium, about their experiences and trends they saw in 2021.

Professional and readable content on the new KAV website

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.

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 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.

Those about whom who nobody ever talks, or the eminences of manufacturing preparation

KAV's customers come into contact with several of our colleagues in the bidding, preparation and construction processes in the course of a job. These are our sales and estimation colleagues, our technical and manufacturing preparation engineers, our project engineers, and then our installation specialists. It is very rare that the end-user comes into contact with the manufacturing preparation engineers. In this article, we’d like to describe the work of these professionals in connection with the Continental Golf Club construction project.

Why is it worth choosing an aluminium front door?

When building or renovating a house, developers and architects may be wondering when it is worth deciding on an aluminium front door. In addition to durability, the main argument may be that aluminium can deliver dimensions and solutions that neither wood nor plastics allow.

For a smart home, product selection is key

For a newly built property, in terms of windows and doors, one of the most important questions is whether prospective residents would like a building management system in the house, as all solutions need to be tailored to this in the design phase. For today's systems, system-specific connector units and auxiliary modules must already be planned and positioned so that they can remain completely hidden.

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. We spoke with Károly Lovász, managing Director of KAV Hungária, about the when using aluminium closing systems might pay off.

The Role of Windows in the Design Process, an Architect’s Perspective

Kenyeres László, a leading architect at the Archista architectural firm, believes that villa buildings can be considered small form factor public buildings. This is why he considers it crucial to consult with window and door specialists multiple times during the design process. This approach helps avoid situations where window and door companies have to "re-design" certain parts of the building during the construction phase.

Frameless sliding door structures with an architect’s eye

Each project poses a different challenge to architects and to door and window professionals as well. One of our reference concepts is based on the unlimited view created by the wing-opening roof and the space stretched by the floor. Filigree division solutions, as well as frameless sliding mechanisms, were the main solution to achieve maximum transparency. We talked to the architect Orsolya Glavanovics about the issues raised by the aluminium door and window solutions implemented during the design and construction, who the Myd-II Interior Design Stúdióval planned it jointly, house operating on this for the special fenestration solutions.

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.

Aluminium windows and doors and the gluing technique

Unique windows and doors, large glass surfaces and narrow frames would not have become part of our building culture without developments in gluing technology. We talked to Gábor Farkas, head of the industrial glue technology division at Sika Hungária Kft., about the special fixing and sealing processes and innovations that have emerged in this field over the past decade. The cooperation between KAV and Sika goes back many years. In the beginning, they only supplied sealing materials for glass-to-glass connections made on-site, but today they supply KAV's factory workers and installation team with special materials and tools, and also train our engineers.
