ah! Ultra Minimalist window
ah! ultra-minimalist is based on the revolutionary vacuum insulating glass. This technology allows for 12mm total thickness glass to achieve triple glazing performance. By reducing glass thickness the overall aluminium structure of the window diminishes proportionally, resulting in an extremely slim and minimal system. Also, by using vacuum insulating glass, the vertical sightlines are reduced to an astonishing 15mm, even less than the initial systems based on standard double insulating glass.The system can achieve pane surfaces up to approximately 4.5m² and allows for the introduction of a wide range of accessories.
