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.

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.

Windows in the service of maximising the view
Frameless windows are favourite elements in houses built in modern and minimalistic styles, since, thanks to the nearly invisible frames, the external and internal spaces almost connect; in this way, nothing disturbs the view, and also natural light may flow into residential spaces through a greater surface.
