# New design frames: when the window "blends" into the facade

From clearly visible frames to a smooth, almost invisible transition between window and facade.

Window design has changed significantly in recent years – from traditional, clearly visible frames to solutions that create a smooth, almost invisible transition between the window and the facade. This design direction has become especially popular in modern architecture, and it has both aesthetic and practical reasons.

## What is a flush design profile?

In traditional window profiles the sash (the moving part) visibly protrudes above the frame, creating a pronounced, stepped silhouette. The latest flush profiles are designed so that the sash and the frame sit on the same level, creating a smooth, continuous surface without pronounced edges.

## Why does this solution look so refined?

### Minimalist silhouette

Without pronounced shadow lines and steps, the window looks like a single element rather than something "added" to the facade.

### Visual simplicity

This design perfectly complements modern, minimalist architecture, where clean lines and simplicity are the key values.

### Focus on the glass, not the frame

By reducing the visual presence of the frame, attention shifts to the glass and what you see through it – more light, less "noise".

## Does it affect performance?

Flush profiles have developed technically to the point where they offer the same functionality as traditional solutions:

- Full thermal insulation and sealing
- Standard opening types (turn, tilt-and-turn)
- Durability and long service life

The only difference is visual – the construction is designed so that technical performance stays the same, changing only how the window looks from the outside.

## Where does this design look best?

### In modern architecture

For houses with clean lines, a flat roof or a minimalist facade, flush profiles perfectly complement the overall look.

### In large glazed areas

The less visible the frame, the more attention goes to the view and the light – especially effective for large windows or panoramic glazing.

### Combined with aluminium profiles

Aluminium constructions allow even slimmer, more expressive profiles that enhance the flush effect.

## Does this solution suit a more traditional house?

Of course – flush profiles are not limited to ultra-modern architecture. With the right colour and proportions they can also complement a more classic house, adding a subtle contemporary accent without losing its overall character.
