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.

The Application Possibilities of Steel Windows and Doors in Family Homes
With the changing architectural trends in residential buildings, larger glass surfaces are becoming increasingly prevalent in properties, while the size requirements of frame structures are decreasing. As a result, the use of steel windows and doors, which were previously mainly present in communal construction culture, is now being considered more frequently. We spoke with Mr. Károly Lovász, the Managing Director of KAV Hungária, to discuss when it is advisable to choose steel windows and doors instead of aluminum ones and what this product category has to offer.

Finding the right solution for the project
Unlike its other competitors, KAV was not thinking about classic “contract manufacturing” - that is, not buying material from us, making and delivering it, so to speak - but actually looking at the whole project, looking for solutions and providing additional services to the Icelandic customer.

Wind pressure is the biggest challenge for doors and windows designed for Iceland
Our company, is involved in the doors and windows solutions of the Marriott Hotel, being built near Harpa, one of the symbolic buildings of Reykavík.

Details were given by Norbert Kiss, architect consultant and Csaba Mravik, chief development engineer.

Our conversation also reveals what primarily influences the thinking of architect-designers and what it takes to establish a common language between the client and the designer.

THE MARKET SHARE OF ALUMINIUM WINDOWS AND DOORS IS CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING IN RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
The market share of aluminium and steel doors and windows in Hungary is constantly increasing with regard to single-family home projects as well. However, even in this stable market, the year 2021 introduced a number of unexpected situations: cancelled professional events, shortages of raw materials and supply chain disruptions.

Rebirth of a Bauhaus villa
This year, the Bauhaus is 100 years old, and it is a great pleasure for us to take part in the renovation of a property displaying the marks of this school. When the Bauhaus appears as a description of a building, it is a guarantee of clean shapes, exciting spaces and quality materials. Even so, it is important to point out that although several Hungarian architects were in contact with the famous German school, there are hardly any Bauhaus buildings, in the strict sense, in Budapest. Péter Lenzsér, the architect, talked about how this building bears the hallmarks of style and how it is worth embarking on such a renovation.
