Bow-Windows

More room - more light

More space to live

Appreciated since the late Gothic period and an indispensable part of English housing estates, bow windows – depending on your point of view – perform different functions: Inside the building they provide additional space and natural light from different directions. They give rhythm and structure to facades. And with the rp fineline system line they become a visual point of reference. As the filigree, but high load-bearing steel profiles not only provide the utmost in design freedom, but also in tangible window surface.

Completely
flooded with light

The rp fineline profile system combines a minimalist appearance with the load-bearing capacity of the material steel: Consequently, it is possible to implement floor-to-ceiling glass surfaces as well as almost invisible window openings. And thanks to a free choice of colours and five glazing strip designs, the combination with richly decorated, listed parapets is also a success. This is how bow windows are created that characterise new and existing buildings alike.

Stylistic element

Le système de profilés rp fineline allie minimalisme et viabilité de l’acier : ainsi, des surfaces vitrées jusqu’au sol peuvent être également réalisées comme ouvertures de fenêtres quasiment invisibles. Grâce au libre choix des couleurs et aux cinq designs de parclose, ils peuvent être intégrés dans des balustrades richement ornées de bâtiments classés. Les baies vitrées caractérisent ainsi les constructions neuves comme les bâtiments existants.
