Unica

The invisible frame which does not go unnoticed

A slim window disappearing on the outside

With its external concealed frame, Unica is the most surprising solution, with a linear design and a structural effect on the outside where the frame disappears inside the wall. This product line is extremely elegant and ideal for contemporary architecture. Unica is also available in the aluminum wood version, with an light thickness which allows large glazing. Inside all wood colors are available, matching the outer side in aluminum in lacquered and wood effect colors. This rigorous and extremely competitive frame allows a variety of aesthetic and functional solutions.

Ideal for renovation and to recover an existing frame
For those who love histortical buildings or have a passion for renovating houses where windows and doors need to be replaced, Unica offers the innovative solution 03, which makes it possible to keep the original frame and the new window installation without any masonry work.

Project Guidelines

Unica is an extremely versatile solution. A linear and clean design with the possibility of different constructions to satisfy to any architectural need.

An important technological innovation has allowed the replacement of the removable glazing bead with a fixed section of the profile, making it possible to eliminate old fashioned nails and clips, which might be the cause of breakage of the camera glass, in order to improve aesthetics and considerably increase the anti-burglary level.

An innovative system allows a considerable increase in the resistance to biological and atmospheric attacks on the frame.

The painting of single components before assembly allows the painting treatment to penetrate the internal parts of the window, which are often the mainly attacked parts.

In practice, this system eliminates maintenance on our products and has a high ecological value thanks to the total absence of glue and formaldehyde.
