Aluminum-Clad Tilt-and-Turn Wood Windows

Chablais aluminum clad tilt and turn windows are wood windows inside, with an aluminum skin outside that never needs painting. From inside the room it is a true wood window.

Handle down, the window is locked. Handle to the side, the sash swings in like a door, so you clean the outside glass from inside. Handle up, the sash tilts in at the top for safe ventilation.

Private Residence - Reggio Emilia

“Archetipo Architettura” have designed this austere, modern residence. Capoferri engineered special steel hardware to support the external windows made from mahogany. The sun-breaking panels, some of which are fixed while others are hinged, are made from wooden slats fixed to a support structure in brushed stainless steel. The verticality of the slats communicates with the geometries and the lines that characterize the pure minimalism of the villa. At the same time the movement of the sun-breaking panels creates a sense of permeability which contrast the impact of theA visible stone structure – a fascinating play with contrast and materials.
