MU144 by MUSKITA is a thermally broken aluminium sliding and lift-and-slide system designed to accommodate large-format glazing with high structural and environmental performance. The system incorporates polyamide thermal breaks and multi-point sealing to support improved airtightness and thermal insulation, enabling the use of double or triple glazing depending on project requirements. Its robust profiles allow for large, heavy sashes, facilitating generous openings and increased daylight penetration, which can reduce reliance on artificial lighting.

From a sustainability perspective, the system benefits from the durability and recyclability of aluminium, supporting long service life and end-of-life material recovery.
