With innovation, there is a solution to every issue

The changing needs of customers and architects require continuous innovation in the field of aluminium door and window systems, too. One of the basic ideas of KAV’s operation is that we believe that there is a solution to every issue. Of course, we also work in this spirit during our developments. The KAV Optivision® system was created with the professional support of Alukönigstahl. Together with the company’s sales representative, Gábor Kiss, we are looking for answers to those frequently asked questions that can be solved using existing products.

What kind of glazed tilt-and-turn balcony door, which can work with a height of up to up to 3000 mm without division, is on offer?

The KAV Optivision® system, developed jointly by KAV and Alukönigstahl, combines concepts of design and functionality. The completely flat, glazed surface, viewed from the outside, enables large opening elements to be designed in a modern, minimalist style. And the tests prove that it meets the requirements for modern doors and windows to the maximum in terms of the properties of building physics. The Schüco FWS 60 CV system is a remarkable filigree-style concealed vent window solution. The point is that the sash is completely hidden behind the 60 mm wide curtain wall profile so that, when it is closed, the opening element does not differ from the fixed fields of the curtain wall. With an opening fitting, a huge sash height of up to 3176 mm can be achieved.

Is there a glass wall system at a more affordable price than the frameless PD sliding door system, with opening sashes that can be at level height (up to 3000 mm), motor-operated and installed with a ground-sill lowered to floor height?

Our deservedly popular Schüco ASS 70.HI system has been replaced in the last few years by the Schüco ASE 80.HI sliding door system, which surpasses its predecessor by far in all respects. With this, large sashes can be realised up to a sash height of 3500 mm and a sash weight of 600 kg. It can be selected with manual or motor operation. Thanks to the newly developed ground-sill solution, the ground-sill profile of the sliding door can be brought completely level with the exterior and interior floor cover plane, which is a great advance in both aesthetics and function. All this with a narrower sash profile, which allows for even greater transparency. In terms of design, it’s nearly only the imagination that sets limits: a 1, 2 or 3-rail design, and the development of positive and negative corner variations, as a catalogue element.

What is the system-level and permitted solution for fixing lamellar blinds to curtain walls?

Schüco offers its own curtain wall brackets that can be used as system components for various elements – e.g. for fixing blinds, canopies and advertising surfaces. It is important to select the right bracket already in the design phase, because in some cases the type of bracket also affects the design of the curtain wall itself.

Can Schüco windows be operated with fully concealed motors and do their control work with building management systems available on the domestic market?

Schüco’s proprietary Schüco TipTronic concealed motorised hardware is a highly innovative, yet well-proven hardware system. The window hardware remains completely hidden, with no hinges or handles visible on it, so it fits perfectly into a modern, clean-looking building. It can be used in almost any opening mode, be it a ventilation window or a heat and smoke extraction window. If necessary, it can be built as an independent system, it can even be integrated into today’s prevalent building management systems, so that every conceivable user need may be realised using it

Aluminium doors and windows and a flexible business model

As a company specialised in custom doors and windows, KAV is constantly striving for innovation and renewal, while maintaining the values it is worth building on. As a member of the Gamechangers professional community, we strive to share best business and organisational practices. We talked to the founder of the initiative, Gábor Csóti, about how the coronavirus epidemic has changed the operation of businesses and

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?

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.

This is how we can extend the life of aluminium doors and windows

Long service life, high quality, exceptional durability and a modern look. Usually, these considerations also play a role in someone’s choice of aluminium doors and windows for their family home. Although distributors often advertise that aluminium front doors and windows are maintenance-free, there are a few things that we can do, not only to increase their service life but also preserve their appearance.

The Basics of Doors and Windows – A Conversation with Architect György Hoffmann

Huge, transparent surfaces that create almost a direct connection with the surroundings. Architect György Hoffmann believes that in modern architecture, there is no longer a need for walls, as windows and pillars can also fulfill the structural functions. 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 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.

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.

The issue of shading is becoming increasingly important

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.

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.

A medieval world built on stilts in the shadow of glass towers

The ALUTA, as the only domestic professional association of aluminum facade builders and window manufacturers in Hungary, organizes annual domestic and international study trips for its members. This year, our foreign trip took us to the Netherlands, a country with nearly 18 million inhabitants. Thanks to excellent organization, we were able to visit a significant number of unique buildings during our journey. Our team focused on exploring the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, where a unique blend of European and colonial history, art history, and engineering culture unfolded before our eyes.

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.

Reflecting the environment with closing systems

The KAV approach helped a lot in its implementation. They talk to the customer and they don't want to sell a product, they want to answer questions and look for a solution. I did not have to choose from a catalogue, so I was not forced to choose from a set of solutions, but was offered individual solutions to a given problem. Of the companies I worked with, KAV gave me the most technical support.
