What are the advantages of aluminum?

Vertical electric lift and slide system

Suitable for both single-family homes as well as apartments or hotels. The window sash opens parallel to the wall and therefore saves space The threshold is very low or can even be left open, making it suitable for children and people with reduced mobility, and in addition it can be easily opened or closed

Its sash has a large volume of structural dimensions, even when using a narrow center frame. Has the best thermal insulation in its class can be added micro-ventilators to make the slightly unsealed. A good solution for investments with not very high budgets.

High-end frameless panoramic sliding windows

In addition to being a traditional architectural element for terraces, balconies or conservatories, they are also suitable for commercial buildings or public buildings. Particularly favored by architects and clients who want a minimalist look and an unobstructed view out of the window from above.

Panoramic windows completely hide the window frame surround (including the threshold), with the glass covering about 94% of the entire surface of the structure. The system can be elegantly decorated, for example with hidden handles in the center sash.

Bi-Fold - Accordion Style System

This system is ideal if you want a completely open space with maximum light access. Compared to other systems, it is not very airtight as there is only one brush at the bottom of the sash, which can cause drafts, so it is more suited to public places (e.g. cafes) than homes (unless located in a mild climate)

Sliding and sliding window and door systems

The least technical system, suitable for mild climates with low requirements for airtightness and temperature protection, such as the Mediterranean or the South of France. Worth considering if you are only interested in the lowest possible price and have low aesthetic requirements.

Transportation

For transportation or technical reasons, the frame may be taken apart into several parts, and then you or your installation team will have to assemble the structure so that it is level and can be easily inserted into the window wings. But don't worry, our team will help you decide which transportation method is best for you - the windows individually in the transport frame or the frame individually disassembled into parts.

Safety

When it comes to security, sash upgrades for burglary protection can be added to any system for an additional fee. As mentioned above, in a frameless system, the glass is glued together and therefore difficult to remove, but you need to make sure that the manufacturer is not using exterior glass, because if the glass isn't glued together, a prepared burglar could easily remove it.

So before you decide to buy a door system, you need to remember that the installation of different door systems is different from the assembly of standard windows, so you'll need to work with an experienced window installer as well as a logistician, but you can leave all the transportation (and other) issues to YaJi. inquire today to find out which system is best for your project!
