Aluminium doors and windows with custom solutions

Lovász-Károly-KAV-Ügyvezető
2021 / 05 / 21

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.

 

KAV aims to be one of the leading manufacturers of innovative doors and windows in Europe. Our unique approach, based on the fact that there can be a solution for every customer need, as well as our own ongoing developments, can in many ways change the way we have been thinking about windows and doors so far. From this conversation, we can find out what mission or leadership creed drives our company, how our organisational culture is built and what factors affect the success of KAV.

 

Károly Lovász highlighted in the interview that there are two things you should never forget as an innovative company manager: you have to stick to the truth of your vision and be persistent. An innovation-based company structure can never rest, otherwise it will be caught up with and copied. The task of the leader is therefore to continuously spin new ideas and directions by giving examples. This kind of attitude is also important for colleagues, as it encourages them to follow, act and think.

 

However, staff turnover should not be feared; if it goes in the right direction then it will bring results. According to Károly Lovász, the reflexes of the Hungarian workforce are currently inappropriate; they often go in the wrong direction, so it is worth paying attention to international examples. Correcting mistakes is also a social interest, not just an economic one. Thus, in addition to KAV’s thinking and vision, its approach to work organisation and its work ethic also differ from what is usual in Hungary. However, you have to dare to be unique and to take this on because, when coupled with perseverance, serious results can be achieved with this perception.

 

One of the cornerstones of our company, known in Hungary in the sector for its unique approach and solution, is that the owner does not define his company as a window manufacturer, but as a service provider. Therefore, personal contact with partners and customers is essential, and social responsibility also plays a key role in KAV’s corporate culture.

Huge glass walls in a villa with breathtaking features
The glass is the soul of the villa designed by architect Péter Koch, the head of Nara Studio. The unique, distinctive building achieves its floating effect through the almost endless glass surfaces, providing the owner with a perfect panoramic view and an unparalleled sense of connection with the environment. We asked the architect about the design process of the building and the collaboration between the various aspects of the project.

We build for the future rather than for today
Clear shapes, large glass surfaces, spacious interior spaces and creative use of materials – these are the main features of the most predominant architectural style of our era, minimalistic design, in which interest is outstanding in Hungary. However, the number of really well designed and built minimalistic family homes is relatively low. The property our engineers consider as one of the best designed ones our company has met in recent years was built in Budapest. During the project we paid increased attention to the design of large, liberally designed glass surfaces, essential for creating open spaces. We had a conversation with the developer of the house about what was needed to create this property.

We spoke with the homeowner about the construction process, her choice of professionals, and also touched upon how the construction industry receives a woman taking charge of a construction project, even though one wouldn't think it necessary to dwell on this topic in the 21st century.

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.

The key to the realisation of large-scale glass structures is thinking together
Huge glass structures are definitive elements of modern buildings. It is therefore especially important that architects create the plans while thinking together with sector designers. On the questions arising while designing and constructing glass façades, we spoke with chartered architect György Mihály Stocker, reader in the BUTE and vice-president of ALUTA, who played an outstanding role as specialist consultant in the construction of the Hungarian House of Music in its present form.

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.

Production of custom doors and windows at the KAV plant
Most domestic companies selling aluminium doors and windows do not have their own production capacity. However, in KAV's imposing manufacturing plant, they are able to resolve even seemingly impossible profile connections. This is where further thought-out versions of Schüco or Reynaers profile elements and completely unique door and window solutions are manufactured, designed and developed by KAV engineers. We talked to Albert Herbut, the head of KAV's Kisbér plant, about the production processes and the operation of the plant.

Ethical operations raise even SMEs to the top
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.

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.

The changing economic environment and rising energy prices are also impacting the construction industry. But how might the market for premium segment windows change? According to KAV's CEO, Károly Lovász, the focus will shift towards the issue of shading, and it is crucial for builders to select companies with a stable background and a qualified workforce.
