Thermal-Break Aluminum Construction

The window uses an 80 Series thermal-break, or broken-bridge, aluminum profile.

A thermal-break construction separates the internal and external aluminum portions of the frame, reducing direct heat transfer through the metal profile. This makes the system relevant to buildings where improving the thermal behavior of the window frame is an important design consideration.

The 3.0 mm wall thickness also gives the system a heavier profile than many standard aluminum casement systems.

Vintage & Heritage Window Design

The main visual advantage of this window is its vintage-style frame detailing.

It is suited to projects where the windows need to support a classic, heritage, restoration, or timeless architectural character rather than a fully modern glass-and-aluminum appearance.

This makes it useful for both authentic restoration-style designs and new buildings that intentionally use traditional architectural elements.

Double-Tempered Insulated Glass

The specified glazing is:

5 mm + 15A + 5 mm double-tempered clear glass

The two glass panes are separated by a 15A cavity, providing an insulated double-glazing configuration.

For projects with specific requirements for solar control, acoustic performance, privacy, or higher thermal performance, the final glass specification should be confirmed according to the project requirements.

Applications

The 80 Series Vintage Casement Window is particularly suitable for:

• Heritage-style villas
• Traditional residential homes
• Luxury villas
• Boutique hotels
• Heritage-inspired developments
• Restoration projects
• Renovation projects
• Classical architectural façades
• Country-style homes
• Traditional commercial buildings
• Feature windows in modern buildings requiring a vintage appearance

Target Industries

This product can be specified by:

Architects & Designers – for heritage, classical, and transitional architectural projects.

Villa Developers – for luxury and traditional residential developments.

Hotel Developers – for boutique and hospitality projects requiring a distinctive architectural style.

Restoration Contractors – for buildings where the window design needs to complement an existing traditional façade.

General Contractors – for residential and architectural window procurement.

Window Fabricators – for projects requiring thermal-break aluminum with vintage-style detailing.

Ideal Project Styles

The 80 Series is a strong fit for projects using:

• Heritage architecture
• Classical architecture
• Traditional villa design
• European-inspired façades
• Vintage interiors
• Restoration aesthetics
• Transitional architecture
• Modern-classic residential design

It can also be used selectively in contemporary buildings as a contrasting architectural feature.

Why Choose a Thermal-Break Vintage Window?

Traditional-looking windows do not always need to use traditional frame materials.

This system allows the project to retain a vintage visual character while using a modern thermal-break aluminum frame construction.

That makes it particularly useful where the architect wants to balance:

Classic appearance + aluminum durability + insulated glazing + thermal-break construction.

Design Considerations

Before specifying the 80 Series, project teams should confirm:

• Overall window dimensions
• Opening configuration
• Glass requirements
• Interior and exterior finish
• Hardware
• Wall thickness and frame interface
• Installation method
• Weather-sealing requirements
• Local thermal and structural requirements

For restoration projects, the frame proportions and visible detailing should also be checked against the existing building façade.

UAE & GCC Applications

The thermal-break construction makes this window relevant to UAE and GCC projects where heat transfer through aluminum framing is an important design consideration.

It can be used for villas, boutique hospitality projects, traditional-style residences, and architectural developments that want a classic façade without abandoning modern aluminum window construction.

Actual thermal and weather performance should be established from the complete window assembly, glass specification, installation, and project requirements.

80 Series for Restoration Projects

For restoration and heritage-inspired projects, window replacement is often about more than simply filling an opening.

The window needs to work with the building’s:

• Existing façade proportions
• Architectural style
• Frame appearance
• Interior design
• Glazing requirements
• Weather protection
• Modern performance expectations

The vintage detailing of the 80 Series makes it particularly relevant where maintaining a traditional visual language is important.
