Modern Aluminum-Glass Facades – Lightness and Elegance from DOOR Filipek

aluminum facades, Aluminum structures, DOOR Filipek aluminum windows, Panoramic aluminum windows, Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek, aluminum showcases

Aluminum glass facades 🏙️ are the quintessence of modern architecture. They combine the lightness and extraordinary durability of aluminum with the aesthetics and transparency of glass, creating spectacular, elegant facades.

This is an extremely popular solution, valued both in commercial construction (office buildings, hotels, showrooms) and in increasingly ambitious residential projects. They allow for the creation of luminous buildings, open to the surroundings, with a minimalist and prestigious design.

Jako DOOR Filipek, a Polish manufacturer of aluminum joinery based in Bochnia, we specialize in the design, production and installation of facade systems that meet the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.

🌟 Main Advantages of Aluminum-Glass Facades

Choosing a facade system from DOOR Filipek is an investment that brings a number of benefits:

  • High aesthetics and design flexibility 🎨 Aluminum is a lightweight and malleable material, enabling the creation of a variety of shapes and complex structures. Combined with a wide range of available glass types (e.g., clear, frosted, reflective, and safety), architects have virtually unlimited design freedom. Our modern machinery allows for full design customization and the realization of even the boldest visions.
  • Durability and resistance to weather conditions 🌦️ Aluminum structures are exceptionally durable. They are fully resistant to corrosion, rain, snow, wind, and prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV radiation). This means that facades constructed by DOOR Filipek maintain their impeccable, aesthetic appearance for decades, requiring no complex maintenance.
  • High energy efficiency 🌡️ Modern facades are no longer just about appearance, but above all, efficiency. Thanks to the use of advanced aluminum profiles with thermal breaks and specialized, multi-chamber glazing units, our facades provide excellent thermal insulation. This translates into lower heat loss in winter and reduced room overheating in summer, significantly reducing heating and air conditioning costs.
  • Excellent sound insulation 🎧 Aluminum facades with glass with enhanced acoustic insulation guarantee a high level of soundproofing. This is a key advantage in buildings located in noisy, urban locations, ensuring comfort and quiet inside.
  • Optical enlargement and illumination of the space ☀️ Extensive glazing opens the building's interior to the surroundings, blurring the line between interior and exterior. This makes rooms appear significantly larger and brighter. Unlimited access to natural light positively impacts the well-being, comfort of work, and daily functioning of users.

🤔 Technological Challenges, or "Flaws" That Professionals Avoid

In the context of aluminum facades, challenges are often discussed. DOOR Filipek we perceive them as aspects that require knowledge and experience for the system to function flawlessly:

  • Thermal conductivity of aluminum Aluminum itself conducts heat well. Therefore, it's absolutely essential to use only "warm" insulated systems. At DOOR Filipek, we only use profiles with advanced thermal insulation inserts and spacers, which effectively eliminate this problem.
  • Surface sensitivity during assembly Aluminum is soft, meaning profiles can be scratched or dented if transported or installed incorrectly. 🚚 That's why choosing an experienced contractor is crucial. Our production and assembly team pays attention to every detail at every stage – from safe packaging to precise on-site assembly.
  • The key role of precise assembly Properly sealing a facade is absolutely crucial to preventing leaks and energy loss. 💧 Installation errors can lead to costly problems. That's why at DOOR Filipek, we rely exclusively on our own, specialized installation teams, who guarantee 100% tightness and proper operation of the structure.

📐 Types of Aluminum-Glass Facades in the DOOR Filipek Offer

We specialize in providing proven and effective facade systems:

  • Post and beam facade This is the most popular and classic system. Glass panels are mounted on a solid frame of aluminum profiles (vertical mullions and horizontal transoms). These profiles are visible from the outside, creating an aesthetic, geometric grid on the façade. We offer this system in a variety of aesthetic and thermal options.
  • Structural and semi-structural facade These systems are perfect for minimalists, creating the effect of a perfectly smooth, uniform glass pane. The aluminum profiles are partially (semi-structure) or completely (structure) concealed from the outside. The glass is attached to the structure using special adhesives or hidden mechanical fasteners.
  • Point facade ("Spider" type) In this solution, glass panels are attached to the supporting structure (e.g., steel or glass) using special point fasteners (rotules). This ensures maximum transparency and an exceptionally light, modern look.

SkyTwin – a novelty in sun protection: a roller-screen combining an external roller blind and a screen fabric.

SkyTwin – a novelty in sun protection: a roller-screen combining an external roller blind and a screen fabric.

blinds, Aluminum structures, sun visors, Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek

More and more investors and homeowners are looking for solutions that combine sun protection, thermal insulation and facade aesthetics. SkyTwin - a new type system roller-screen — integrates a traditional external roller blind with a technical fabric such as screen, creating a single, compact solution for windows and glazing. The product is offered by aluminum systems manufacturer Aluprof and available in our DOOR Filipek range.

What is SkyTwin?

SkyTwin is a system in which the moving roller blind elements filled with polyurethane foam coexist with the external fabric. screen (reflexol) placed in the same cassette, i.e. fabric integrated with the roller blindThis allows the user to simultaneously benefit from the anti-burglary protection and thermal insulation typical of external roller shutters, as well as the light and visibility control and heat reduction provided by screen fabrics. The ZIP system also provides additional insect protection while maintaining the desired level of visibility outside.

Roleto - screen or SkyTwin - a combination of fabric and roller blinds DOOR Filipek cross-section

The most important advantages of SkyTwin

  • Dual function in one product — space saving and simpler installation compared to installing two separate systems.
  • Better thermal protection all year round — the roller blind reduces heat loss in winter, the screen reduces heating in summer.
  • Light and visibility control — Screen fabrics allow you to regulate the penetration of light, keeping the view outside without strong glare.
  • Durability and resistance to weather conditions — Technical fabrics (e.g., from the Soltis range by Serge Ferrari) are designed for UV, wind, and moisture resistance. The manufacturer guarantees an appropriate warranty on the products. Fabric specifications can be selected during order configuration, taking into account fabric type, color, and openness factor (OF).
  • Aesthetics and façade fitting — many colors and textures, possible to harmonize with the facade.
  • Wind-resistant zip fabrics – thanks to the use of special ZIP guidance, the screens are tested and certified based on wind resistance in the appropriate wind classes.

Who is SkyTwin the best choice for?

  • Owners of houses and apartments with large glazing (terraces, balconies) who want to combine protection, privacy, and energy savings. Combining these two products provides significant benefits in terms of heat transfer and solar radiation.
  • Investors in public buildings and office buildings, where energy certificates and acoustic/lighting comfort are important.
  • People who value a minimalist look – one system instead of two installed separately.

How fabric screen in SkyTwin and what technical features does it offer?

Manufacturers of fabrics such as screen Aluprof (including Serge Ferrari and other renowned brands such as Copaco) offers materials designed specifically for outdoor solar shading. The key technical properties of these fabrics include:

  • Light transmittance and openness factor — Different options (e.g., 4%, 14%, etc.) determine how much light and view is let in. This allows you to find a compromise between visibility and sun protection.
  • Protection against solar radiation and heat — Selected Soltis fabrics can block a significant portion of solar energy (for example, up to approximately 97% of heat in certain variants), acting as a “shield” that reduces cooling requirements.
  • UV resistance and color fastness — The pigments and production technologies used ensure long-lasting resistance to fading. The use of glass fiber significantly extends the fabric's lifespan and resistance to temperature changes.
  • Mechanical strength — high resistance to stretching, tearing, and weather conditions (rain, wind). Précontraint® is an example of technology that improves dimensional stability and durability.

Technology Précontraint®, patented by the company Serge ferrari, is used to produce flexible composites with exceptional lightness and dimensional stability. In this process, a polymer coating is applied to a polyester (PET) microcable carrier, maintaining the material in a state of biaxial tension—in both the warp and weft directions—throughout the production process. This solution gives the materials special properties, including high resistance to deformation under load, significantly extending their durability.

The impact of the roller-screen (SkyTwin) on building parameters

  • Energy savingThe outer screen fabric reduces the greenhouse effect (less heat gets into the interior), and the roller blind improves winter insulation—this combination reduces air conditioning and heating costs. Fabric manufacturer sources indicate a significant reduction in heat transfer in Soltis models (e.g., Soltis 92).
  • Visual comfort: less glare, ability to maintain the view to the outside while controlling the light intensity.
  • Protection of interior furnishings: reducing UV rays that cause fabrics and furniture to fade.
  • Acoustics: external blinds improve sound insulation from outside; when combined with a screen, the effect can be enhanced by providing a second layer between the interior and exterior. (Depending on the design and materials)

Principles of application and assembly

  1. Selecting the fabric variant — choose the openness depending on the window orientation: on the south side, less openness (greater protection) is preferred, while east/west you can use more "transparent" fabrics.
  2. Integration with the window/frame — SkyTwin is designed for installation in a built-in structure or above a window opening; the installation should be performed by an authorized installer to maintain the tightness and proper functioning of both layers.
  3. controlling — SkyTwin systems are available with a wired or radio drive (remote control/weather automation), which facilitates daily operation and programming of behavior in strong sun/wind conditions.
  4. Wind & rain considerations — in extreme weather conditions, external screens have specific wind resistance classes; fabric and system manufacturers provide permissible loads — check the specifications before installation.

How to clean and care for screen fabric?

The fabric manufacturer (e.g. Serge Ferrari) recommends simple, regular maintenance procedures that significantly extend the life of the fabric:

  1. Periodic cleaning (easy staining): Rinse the surface with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using products containing solvents (e.g., white spirit).
  2. Cleaning for more difficult stains: use dedicated detergents recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. Cleaner 500 and/ or Formula S in Serge Ferrari documents) - apply, leave on briefly, brush gently with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with water. The pH of the detergent used should be in the acceptable range (usually 5-11).
  3. Spot cleaning: immediately remove bird droppings, resin and other substances that may damage the coating or dye.
  4. Cyclic checks: check the condition of the guides, fasteners and roller shutter mechanics; remove any leaves and sand from the cassettes and guides.
  5. Avoid aggressive brushes and solvents — may damage the fabric coating and shorten its lifespan.

Modern aluminum terrace roofs – how to choose the perfect solution for your home?

Modern aluminum terrace roofs – how to choose the perfect solution for your home?

terrace roofing, Aluminum structures, aluminum pergolas, Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek

The patio is the heart of the garden – a place for meetings, relaxation, and shared meals outdoors. To enjoy it comfortably throughout most of the year, it's worth ensuring it has adequate roofing and side protection. In this article, we'll present various options. aluminum terrace roofs – from slatted structures, through solar control glass, to fabric verandas. We'll also describe side protection solutions such as screens, blinds, sunbreakers, and sliding glass doors. This will help you decide which solution will work best for your garden.

Why aluminum?

Aluminum is an increasingly popular material for patio roofing due to several key advantages:

  • Durability and resistance to weather conditions – aluminum does not corrode, is resistant to rain, snow and UV radiation.
  • Lightness and durability at the same time – the structure is solid, but does not overload the terrace or foundations.
  • Modern design – minimalist aluminum profiles fit both classic and modern style homes.
  • Easy to maintain – regular washing with water and mild detergents is sufficient.

Types of aluminum terrace roofs

Roof made of movable slats

This is one of the most popular premium solutions. Aluminum roofing with slats (slats) in the roof can be set at different angles – manually or automatically.

Advantages:

  • Adjustment of light and air flow.
  • Possibility of completely closing the roof during rain.
  • Elegant, modern look.
  • Option of integration with weather automation (wind, rain, sun sensors).

Disadvantages:

  • Higher price compared to permanent solutions.
  • It requires the installation of a water drainage system, however in the case of Pergola-type roofs, the system most often already includes its own internal water drainage system.

Roof made of fixed slats

In this case the slats are permanently mounted, without the possibility of adjusting them.

Advantages:

  • Lower cost compared to movable slats.
  • Minimalist and aesthetic appearance.
  • High resistance to snow and wind loads.

Disadvantages:

  • No possibility of adjusting the light.
  • During rain, the terrace will not always be completely dry, depending on the arrangement of the slats.

Sun protection glass roof

Roof made of tempered glass, most often covered with a special coating that limits the heating of the space under the roof.

Advantages:

  • High aesthetics and elegance – perfect for modern homes.
  • Maximum lighting of the terrace and interior of the house.
  • Resistance to UV rays.

Disadvantages:

  • The glass can get hot – on hot days the terrace requires additional shading.
  • Higher installation and maintenance costs (regular washing).

 

Roof with fixed slats + solar control glass to maintain water tightness

This solution involves attaching fixed lamellas (for construction and design) which are covered glass sunshadesThis ensures complete roof tightness and protection against rain, while maintaining a modern appearance.

Advantages:

  • Full water tightness – the glass provides effective protection against rain, which fixed slats alone do not guarantee.
  • Elegant look – the combination of aluminum and glass fits into modern architecture.
  • Resistance to UV radiation and overheating – solar glass reduces the heating of the terrace and the interior of the house.
  • Solidity of construction – aluminum lamellas support the glass, which increases the resistance of the entire structure to loads (snow, wind).
  • Longevity – no moving parts means less risk of failure.

Disadvantages:

  • No light adjustment – the angle of the slats cannot be changed (as in the case of movable slats).
  • Higher cost than solid lamellas alone – due to the addition of glass panes.
  • Requires regular glass cleaning – to maintain aesthetic appearance and transparency.
  • Weight of the structure – adding glass makes the roof heavier, which may require a more solid foundation and a stronger supporting structure.

 

Fabric veranda (additional solution for a glass roof)

To minimize the heating effect under the glass roof, a system can be installed fabric veranda – a sliding cover made of durable, weather-resistant material.

Advantages:

  • Effective protection against the sun.
  • Possibility of fully or partially covering the terrace.
  • Variety of fabrics and colors to choose from.

Disadvantages:

  • Requires maintenance (cleaning of the material).
  • It does not provide protection against rain – it serves as a shade.

Side covers for terrace roofs

A roof alone is often not enough – wind, rain, or low sun can make using a terrace difficult. That's why various types of roofs are increasingly being chosen. side coversthat turn the terrace into a cozy winter garden or summer living room.

Screens (external textile blinds)

What is this: vertical, external technical fabric blind mounted in a cassette with guides.

Advantages

  • Protection against sun and glare — reduce the heating of the space without completely darkening it.
  • Privacy Policy — Fabrics with different % OF “open factor” (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5%) allow you to adjust the view and privacy.
  • Air flow — unlike solid panels, they allow air to pass through, so they do not create “stagnant” hot air.
  • Small development — discreet, aesthetic cassettes; easy to integrate with the pergola.
  • Possibility of automation — electric drives, sun/wind sensors, smart control.
  • Relatively low price compared to glazing and easy fabric replacement.
  • Easy maintenance of technical fabrics (regular cleaning, impregnation extends service life).

Disadvantages

  • Limited resistance to strong winds — screens can let the wind through, but in strong winds they should be rolled up or a wind sensor should be purchased
  • Limited rain protection — in heavy side rain, water may penetrate through the gaps in the guides.
  • Degree of visibility — the higher the permeability (open factor), the better the view, but the weaker the protection against sun and wind and the less privacy.
  • Fabric wear — fades over time, may rub at the edges.
  • Lack of high sound insulation — the fabric will not dampen street noise.
  • The need to adjust the guides and tightness — to avoid letting wind and rain through, you need to choose the appropriate guiding system and installation method, i.e. ZIIP.

Good practices/tips

  • draw open factor according to priorities (1% = great privacy, 5% = better view).
  • Install wind sensors if your terrace is exposed to sudden gusts.

Facade blinds (aluminum - horizontal with adjustable slat tilt)

What is this: systems with movable slats (aluminum), mounted horizontally on the outside of the building.

Advantages

  • Precise light control — the ability to adjust the angle of the slats, regulate the amount of light and the direction of the rays.
  • Aesthetics and modern look — harmonize with the architecture of the building, wide selection of colors and shapes of slats.
  • Possibility of ventilation while providing shade — slats ensure air flow without excessive sunlight.
  • Good integration with the facade and roof — suitable for pergolas and aluminum roofs.

Disadvantages

  • Lower resistance to very strong winds than full blinds — Blinds often do not serve as wind barriers during gusty conditions.
  • Cleaning and maintenance — slats collect dust and dirt; they require more frequent cleaning.
  • Less acoustic and thermal insulation — the blinds do not close the space tightly.
  • Greater mechanical complexity — more moving parts = greater likelihood of service.
  • Expense — usually more expensive than simple screens, but cheaper than full glazing.

Good practices

  • For windy locations, choose one with a wind sensor included.
  • Take into account the need for maintenance and cleaning.

Full roller blinds (external, aluminum)

What is this: full roller blinds with closed curtain — they completely cut off space.

Advantages

  • Maximum privacy and obscurity — perfect for protection from the eyes of neighbors.
  • Good thermal (as an addition to tight partitions) and acoustic insulation — in closed conditions, roller shutters improve indoor comfort and reduce noise.
  • Protection against wind and precipitation — if properly secured, they create a solid barrier against driving rain and wind.

Disadvantages

  • Completely obscured view — they block light and the view of the garden.
  • Size limitations — Heavier systems require solid mounting and drive and have maximum width and height.
  • Aesthetics — large, closed panels may seem visually “heavy”.
  • Installation cost — mounting boxes, drives and possible facade modifications are expensive.

Tips

  • Consider perforated blinds if you want to control light without closing it completely.

Sunbreakers (decorative and functional aluminum slats)

What is this: fixed or movable horizontal/vertical (aluminum) strips, often used as an element of the facade or side covers of the terrace.

Advantages

  • Very good solar control and glare reduction — designed to reflect and scatter rays.
  • Durability and low maintenance — aluminum, resistant to corrosion and damage.
  • Can be used as an architectural element — aesthetic, they give character to the facade.
  • Good wind parameters and hail resistance (some systems are designed for demanding locations).

Disadvantages

  • Fixed versions less flexible — if they are constant, it is difficult to quickly change the degree of occlusion.
  • Limited privacy — depending on the slat arrangement, they may not be sufficient in densely built-up areas.
  • Installation and design costs — often individually designed, which increases the price.
  • They can cast specific shadows — in some settings, unsightly shadows may appear on the facade or terrace.

Opaque panels (e.g. aluminum)

What is this: fixed partitions made of aluminum frame mounted as side partitions.

Advantages

  • Complete privacy and wind barrier — effective separation of the terrace from the surroundings.
  • Quick installation and clean appearance — panel as a “wall” — a simple visual effect.

Disadvantages

  • Completely cutting off light and view — can overwhelm a smaller terrace.
  • Risk of moisture accumulation — poor ventilation behind the panels.
  • Less flexibility — more difficult to change configuration than in roll-up systems.

Glazed quarters

What is this: fixed or partially opening glass segments (hardened, laminated) mounted in aluminum frames.

Advantages

  • Premium look and transparency — maintaining the view and natural light, elegant "winter garden" effect.
  • Good protection against wind and rain — the structure creates a tight barrier.
  • Better sound insulation than fabrics — solid glass dampens noise.
  • Frameless glass option / thin profiles — minimalist design.

Disadvantages

  • Maintenance — regular cleaning and care of seals.
  • Risk of condensation — especially in the absence of proper moisture drainage.
  • Expense — tempered/laminated glass and installation are more expensive than fabric.
  • Weight and assembly — require solid construction and professional installation.
  • Security — glass should be tempered or laminated (for safety and durability).

Glass sliding doors (openslide/all-glass sliding systems)

What is this: all-glass, sliding sashes creating a terrace partition - you can completely open or close the space.

Advantages

  • Possibility of fully "closing" the terrace — protects against rain, wind and cold; provides functionality similar to a winter garden.
  • Aesthetics and a frameless view — modern, "levitating" effect of glass walls.
  • Large wings and flexible configuration — you can have 3, 4 or more panels, sliding on one or both sides.
  • Special safety solutions — guide systems protecting against the sash falling out.

Disadvantages

  • High investment cost — openslide systems and professional glazing are more expensive than simple roller blinds.
  • Maintenance and service — care required for sliding fittings
  • Lack of perfect tightness in the case of lightweight sliding walls— if there is no proper seal, cold and water may appear.
  • May require minimum threshold or drainage — important when designing thresholds and terrace floors.
  • Weight of large sheets — solid base and supporting structure required.

Additional practical tips - how to choose side covers for your terrace

  1. Identify priorities: Wind protection? Privacy? View retention? Sound insulation? This will define the direction of your choice.
  2. Check local wind conditions and windward side  and select the resistance class (especially for screens, blinds and roller shutters).
  3. Combine systems: Often the best effect is achieved with a hybrid – e.g. glass walls + screens (screens provide more protection from the sun and privacy, glass provides a rain barrier).
  4. Automation and sensors: Motorized covers with wind/rain sensors will extend service life and improve comfort.
  5. Fabric material: choose fabrics resistant to UV, mold and salt (if near the sea)
  6. Take care of water drainage and tightness — especially with the combination of glass and slats/blinds.
  7. Pay attention to service and warranty — mechanics and drives should have service available in your area.

Summary – which solution to choose?

Choosing the right roof and side covers depends primarily on your needs:

  • If you care about flexibility and prestige - choose roof made of movable slats in combination with a screen system or sliding glass doors.
  • If the priority is budget and simplicity - it will work great roofing made of fixed lamellas and side blinds.
  • If you dream about full of light and elegance - choose glass roof with the addition of a fabric veranda and glass-covered quarters.

What's the difference between enameled glass and Lacobel? A guide to aluminum joinery solutions.

What's the difference between enameled glass and Lacobel? A guide to aluminum joinery solutions.

Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek, aluminum facades, Aluminum structures

In modern architecture and projects using aluminum joinery Not only the profile design is of great importance, but also the type and finish of the glass. Choosing between different types of decorative and functional glass affects aesthetics, durability, and range of applications. The most common variants are enameled glass (enamel), glass with ceramic print and Lacobel glassAlthough they may look similar at first glance, their properties and purposes differ significantly.

In this article we will explain:

  • how is it different ceramic enamel od ceramic print,
  • what is the difference between enamel and lacobel,
  • which solution works best in combination with aluminum joinery in external and internal architecture.

Emalit – enameled glass

Enamel This is tempered glass, which is then coated with a layer of special ceramic enamel. The glass then enters a tempering furnace, where the enamel is fused into the glass surface.

Characteristic:

  • Color fastness – the enamel is permanently bonded to the glass, making it resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions.
  • Security – the glass is tempered, so it has increased mechanical and thermal resistance.
  • Matte or semi-gloss finish – the visual effect depends on the enamel and technology used.
  • Uniform color – a wide range of colors possible, although less intense than in the case of organic varnishes.

Application:

Emalite is especially useful in facades ventilated, external structures, facade cladding, glass blinds, balustrades or elements exposed to weather conditions.

Lacobel – lacquered glass

lacobel is float glass on one side of which a layer is applied organic varnishUnlike enamel, glass is it is not hardened (although there are technologies that enable subsequent tempering of painted glass in special versions).

Characteristic:

  • Intense color and shine – the varnish surface gives the effect of depth and high gloss.
  • Delicacy – Lacobel glass is not resistant to weather conditions, so it is only used indoors.
  • Easy to care for – the smooth, shiny surface is easy to keep clean.
  • Color variety – a wide range of colors, from classic to designer shades.

Application:

Lacobel is mainly used in interiors – in built-in furniture, partition walls, decorative panels, kitchen and bathroom wall coverings.

Enamel and ceramic printing – the most important differences

Ceramic enamel (Emalit)

  • That's it uniform covering coating applied to the entire surface (or large parts) of the glass.
  • It is most often created in one color (white, black, gray, RAL colors), without patterns.
  • It is used to achieve an even, covering effect – e.g. for masking strips in facades.
  • The end result is a smooth sheet of glass with a uniform color.

Ceramic printing (screen printing or digital printing)

  • This is the application technology pattern or graphic using ceramic paints.
  • It can be implemented by the method screen printing (repeating patterns, e.g. dots, stripes) or digital printing (solid images, gradients, custom themes).
  • After printing, the glass also goes into the hardening furnace – the paint is fused into the sheet and becomes part of the glass.
  • The end result is decorative or functional glass – you can obtain, for example, sun protection glass with a raster pattern, facade graphics or advertising elements.

Summary of the differences between enamel and digital printing:

  • Enamel = uniform, covering coating in one color.
  • Ceramic print = pattern/graphics applied with ceramic paint (screen printing/digital), giving more aesthetic and functional possibilities.

Both methods are resistant to UV, weather conditions and mechanical damage because the paint becomes an integral part of the glass after tempering.

 

Emalit and Lacobel – the most important differences

Characteristic Enamel (enameled glass) Lacobel (lacquered glass)
Production process Applying ceramic enamel and hardening Applying organic varnish
Resistance High – resistant to UV, moisture and weather conditions Low – for indoor use only
Security Hardened, resistant to impacts and temperature changes No tempering as standard, glass is fragile
Finish Matte or semi-gloss High gloss, depth effect
Color palette Rich but subdued Very wide, saturated colors
Application Facades, elevations, balustrades, external elements Interiors: furniture, walls, decorations

Application in aluminum joinery

Aluminum and glass are a perfect pair – lightweight, durable aluminum profiles blend perfectly with various glass options, and the choice between enamel, digital printing, or lacobel depends on the intended use of the project.

  • Aluminum joinery in exterior architecture:
    In the case of facades, ventilated facades or structures exposed to atmospheric factors, the clear leader is enamel or digital printIts resistance to UV and moisture ensures long-lasting color and a safe and aesthetically pleasing structure.
  • Interior aluminum joinery:
    When aluminum profiles are used inside buildings – e.g. for office buildings, partition walls or interior design – it is worth reaching for lacobelIts high gloss, intense colors, and modern finish enhance the design of the rooms while maintaining the lightness of the entire structure.

Summary

Choosing between glass enameled a lacobel comes down to the question: Is the glass intended to operate in outdoor or indoor conditions?

  • If we care about durability, resistance and safety in facade structures – we choose enamel or digital print.
  • If design, shine and intense colors in the interior are your priorities, the perfect solution will be lacobel.

By using both technologies in combination with modern aluminum joinery, architects and investors have a full range of possibilities at their disposal – from minimalist facades to impressive interiors.

Do emergency exit doors need to be certified? Everything you need to know before accepting a building.

Do emergency exit doors need to be certified? Everything you need to know before accepting a building.

Aluminum doors, Aluminum structures, Entrance door security

Doors on emergency exits are a key safety feature in a building. They enable quick exits in emergency situations, so their selection cannot be left to chance.

But does every door that opens towards an emergency exit meet the regulations? Do emergency exit doors need to be certified? What documents are needed to complete the building inspection? We answer all frequently asked questions.

What are emergency exit doors?

In accordance with Polish regulations (Regulation on technical conditions) doors used on escape routes:

  • they must open towards evacuation,
  • they must enable keyless opening,
  • they must have the appropriate width and heightto ensure free exit,
  • should be equipped with emergency or anti-panic fittings, compliant with standards:
    • EN 179 – emergency fittings (for buildings with limited access),
    • EN 1125 – anti-panic fittings (for public facilities where the quick evacuation of a larger number of people is important).

Do emergency exit doors need to be certified?

This is a question many investors ask themselves:
“Do I need an emergency door certificate to accept the building?”

Recipes they do not introduce a separate category of "certified emergency exit doors"The manufacturer introduces doors to the market in accordance with the standard PN-EN 14351-1 (external/internal doors) and marks them CE.
To serve as an evacuation aid, they must be equipped with certified emergency fittings (PN-EN 179 or PN-EN 1125) i.e. emergency fittings and/ or anti-panic.

So formally – there is no obligation to have an additional “emergency door” certificate.

Answer:

  • For standard emergency exit doors: recipes do not impose the obligation to have a separate "escape door" certificateThe manufacturer introduces doors to the market in accordance with PN-EN 14351-1 (external/internal doors) and marks them CE.
  • The key is that they are equipped with certified emergency or anti-panic fittings.

So why does our company have emergency door certificates?
Because we know that investors, designers and inspectors often expect unambiguous confirmationthat complete set (leaf + frame + fittings) meets all evacuation requirements.

Because We voluntarily subjected our doors to additional tests at certification bodies and we got emergency door certificate.
This is added value for our clients – facilitates the acceptance of the building and provides a full guarantee of safety.

 

Do fire doors on escape routes need to be certified?

The situation is different here.

Fire doors used on escape routes must be certified as a complete set – a separate certificate for the door leaf and separate certificates for the fittings are not enough.

Dlaczego?

  • Each element of the door (leaf, frame, lock, door closer) influences its behavior in fire conditions.
  • Fire doors must undergo fire tests in their complete configuration (PN-EN 1634-1), and their fire resistance (e.g. EI30, EI60) is confirmed in fire classification certificate.

Our doors are fully certified for both fire resistance and evacuation function. Thanks to this, the investor can be sure that the selected set is legal and safe.

 

What documents are needed when accepting emergency and fire doors?

For regular emergency exit doors:

  • Declaration of Performance (DoP) compliant with PN-EN 14351-1,
  • Fittings certificates (PN-EN 179 or PN-EN 1125).

For fire doors on escape routes:

  • Fire classification certificate (PN-EN 13501-2),
  • Fire resistance test report (PN-EN 1634-1),
  • Declaration of Performance (DoP),
  • Certificates of fittings approved for use in fire doors.

Why choose certified doors?

Although for standard emergency exit doors the certificate for the entire set is not a formal requirement, its possession provides a number of benefits:

  • Confident building acceptance – inspectors and fire brigades accept a complete set of documented solutions more quickly.
  • Safety Guarantee – you can be sure that the sash, fittings and installation method have been tested as a whole.
  • Investor protection – the certificate provides proof that the building has been equipped in accordance with best practice and regulations.

Summary

  • Standard emergency exit doors – they do not have to have a separate certificate, but it is worth choosing those that do.
  • Fire doors on escape routes – must be tested and certified as a set.
  • Certified doors it means safety, easier reception and peace of mind for years to come.

Aluminum Fire Doors and Windows - Legal Requirements, Selection, Applications

Aluminum Fire Doors and Windows - Legal Requirements, Selection, Applications

fireproof windows door walls, Aluminum structures, Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek

Aluminum fire doors and windows play a key role in ensuring fire safety of buildings. Thanks to the durability, aesthetics and lightness of aluminum, these structures are gaining popularity in modern construction. Below we present current legal requirements, selection principles and specific examples of applications in various facilities.

Applicable legal provisions - basic acts and standards

Fire-resistant doors and windows in Poland are subject to, among others:

  • Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 1065) – “Technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location”;
  • Fire Protection Act (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 869);
  • European standards:
    • PN-EN 13501-2:2016 – Fire classification of construction products;
    • PN-EN 1634-1:2014 – Fire resistance tests for doors and opening closures;
    • PN-EN 1364-1:2015 – Fire resistance tests for non-load-bearing elements.

Fire resistance classes of aluminum doors and windows

Fire doors and windows are classified based on:

  • E (fire tightness) - preventing the passage of flames and hot gases,
  • I (fire insulation) - limiting the temperature increase on the unheated side,
  • W (limitation of thermal radiation) — reduction of thermal radiation.

The most commonly used classes for aluminum: EI30, EI60, EI120 (30, 60 or 120 minutes of protection).

Principles for selecting fire-resistant doors and windows

Selection of structure depending on location:

  • Fire zones: doors in walls separating fire zones must have an EI class not lower than the wall.
  • Escape routes: the most common minimum requirement is EI30 and smoke tightness Sa or Sm.
  • Load-bearing walls: doors with fire resistance equal to the wall (in practice EI = REI of the wall, except in some cases - see explanation at the end).
  • Opening width and direction: emergency doors must open in the direction of evacuation and have an appropriate width in accordance with evacuation standards.

Smoke tightness – an important addition to fire protection

In the event of a fire, smoke is the main hazard on evacuation routes. Therefore, increasingly, fire doors must also meet smoke-tightness requirements:

  • Sa (smoke tight at ambient temperature)
  • Sm (smoke tightness at elevated temperature of 200°C)

Is it always necessary to meet the EI fire resistance criteria for doors used in escape routes?

Does every emergency door have to be EI class?

  • Not every emergency exit door needs to be EI rated, but if it is located in a fire-resistant partition, then yes.
  • The regulations state clearly:
    • doors on escape routes must be of adequate width, open outwards, and be easy to open (e.g. anti-panic handles).
    • Class EI is only required when the door also serves as fire separation (zone or smoke control).
  • Example:
    • entrance door to a smoke-ventilated staircase must have EI + Sa.
    • doors to the exterior of the building at ground level - do not need to have EI.

In certain situations (e.g. in the case of doors or display windows installed in partitions of REI class) is it necessary to adopt a fire resistance class EI higher for these elements than the fire resistance class of the partition in which they are installed?

Is it possible that EI doors have a higher class than the REI of the partition?

  • Yes, such cases do occur.
  • This results from the PN-EN 13501-2 standard and the logic of fire tests:
    • A load-bearing wall is tested as REI because its load-bearing capacity (R) is tested.
    • Doors are not load-bearing elements, so only EI is tested.
    • Since doors are usually the weakest point of a partition, it is often assumed that doors should have an EI equal to the REI class of the wall or higher (due to the higher risk of loss of tightness and insulation at the door/partition interface).
  • Practical example:
    • Wall REI 60 - door EI60 (min.)
    • REI 120 wall — EI120 door (sometimes a higher class is adopted by design to increase safety, e.g. in hospitals or industrial halls).

Key Note on EI and REI Classes

  • Not all emergency exit doors need to be EI class if they do not serve as fire separation.
  • Doors in REI class partitions usually have an EI class equal to the REI class of the partition (e.g. REI60 – EI60 doors).
  • In design practice, EI doors are sometimes selected higher than the REI partition class to increase safety, especially in high-risk facilities (hospitals, hazardous warehouses, large shopping malls).

In most cases, EI30-Sa or EI60-Sa class doors are required on escape routes.

Function of fire doors on escape routes

Fire doors on escape routes:

  • They ensure the safe evacuation of people,
  • They separate the source of fire from evacuation zones,
  • They limit the passage of smoke,
  • They protect traffic routes from high temperatures,
  • They are an element of active fire safety management of buildings.

Assembly and certification

All fire doors and windows must be installed by certified contractors in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain full fire resistance.

Modern commercial construction increasingly uses solutions that combine modern design with high functionality. One of such elements is aluminum-glass facades, which are both an aesthetic and practical element. In this article, we will discuss the implementation of the installation of aluminum joinery in the form of a glass facade on an office building connected to a warehouse. We will pay special attention to the technical challenge - the construction of a vertical facade with a transition to a tilted facade acting as a roof.

Characteristics of the aluminum-glass facade

Facades of this type are an architectural solution that combines lightness aluminum construction with a modern glass look. Facade systems are chosen for their durability, high weather resistance and the ability to create large-area glazing, ensuring maximum lighting inside the building.

The investment was carried out using facade systems with high thermal and acoustic insulation, meeting the requirements of construction standards. Choosing the right one aluminum system was crucial for the stability and aesthetics of the entire structure.

The process of installing an aluminum facade

  1. Design stage – The key step before assembly was to develop a detailed technical design that took into account the specifics of the building and the investor's requirements. At this stage, it was also necessary to predict the method of implementing the transition from the vertical façade to the inclined one.
  2. Preparation of the supporting structure – The aluminium supporting structure was precisely adapted to the specific conditions of the facility. Due to the large glazing and the inclined part of the façade, it was necessary to use reinforced profiles and appropriate fasteners.
  3. Installation of vertical elements – First, the vertical part of the façade was installed, which was the main element of the glazed elevation. Each glass module was precisely placed in aluminum frames using gaskets and expansion systems.
  4. Transition of the vertical facade to the inclined one – The biggest challenge was to make a smooth transition from the vertical façade to the inclined one, which would serve as a roof. For this purpose, diagonal connection of aluminum columns constituting the load-bearing structure of the façade. At the appropriate height, the vertical wall becomes a slanting one, creating a structure with an appropriate slope that effectively serves as a roof.
  5. Finalization and sealing – The last stage was to make the final seals, install water drainage systems and check the quality of the work performed.

Technical challenges and how to solve them

  • Precise adjustment of structural connections – The use of diagonal connections of aluminium columns required precise calculations and careful execution of structural elements.
  • Ensuring tightness of connections – In places where the vertical façade transitions into the inclined façade, dedicated seals and structural adhesives resistant to changing weather conditions are used.
  • Load resistance – The structure has been reinforced with additional fastening elements to ensure its stability in conditions of strong wind and dynamic loads.

Benefits of using an aluminum-glass facade

  • Modern look – The transparency and elegance of the façade emphasize the prestigious character of the building.
  • Energetic efficiency – High-quality solar control glass and thermal insulation systems reduce heat loss.
  • Durability and resistance – Aluminum is a corrosion-resistant material, which ensures the longevity of the structure.
  • User comfort – Optimal interior lighting improves work comfort and reduces the need for artificial lighting.

Summary

Implementation aluminum and glass facade on an office building with a warehouse was a demanding but effective undertaking. The construction of a vertical façade with a transition to an inclined one, acting as a roof, was a significant technical challenge, which was solved thanks to precise design and the use of advanced assembly technologies. The final effect is not only an aesthetic, but also a functional façade, which meets the expectations of both investors, architects and contractors.

Why do aluminum windows dominate in modern Polish villas?

Why do aluminum windows dominate in modern Polish villas?

Panoramic aluminum windows, Aluminum structures, DOOR Filipek aluminum windows, Aluminum joinery DOOR Filipek

Large glazing is a hallmark of modern villas in Poland. Tall windows that reach from floor to ceiling and wide panoramic glazing are today synonymous with luxury, elegance and functionality. In this context, more and more investors decide to choose aluminum windows instead of wooden or PVC. In this article, we will look at the differences between these solutions, taking into account the structural and aesthetic advantages offered by aluminum profiles. We will also discuss how they interact with sun protection systems, which are an integral part of large glazing.

Durability and aesthetics, the key design differences

When choosing windows for modern villas, investors are guided not only by aesthetics, but also by durability and technical possibilities. Here's how aluminum windows compare to PVC and wood:

  1. Maximum dimensions and stiffness of the structure
  • Aluminum windows: Aluminum is a material, which stands out for its extraordinary rigidity while maintaining lightness. It allows the creation of large glazings with dimensions that significantly exceed the capabilities of PVC or wood. In the case of modern villas, where panoramic views and minimalist design dominate, such solutions are invaluable. Thanks to the strength of aluminum profiles, it is possible to use narrow frames that do not limit the amount of light entering.
  • Wooden windows: Wood, although durable, has its limitations. Large glazings require massive frames, which affects their visual lightness. Over time, wood can deform under the influence of moisture or temperatures.
  • PVC windows: PVC is a material susceptible to deformation in extreme conditions, especially with large surfaces. Steel reinforcements that increase stability significantly increase the weight of the structure, which can be problematic with very large glazing.
  1. Minimalist design

Aluminum gives designers the ability to create profiles with thin lines and a modern look. Unlike PVC and wood, aluminum windows fit perfectly into architectural trends characterized by simplicity and elegance.

Durability and resistance to weather conditions

In the Polish climate, with large temperature fluctuations and variable weather, the choice of window material is crucial for its durability:

  • Aluminum windows: They are completely resistant to corrosion, moisture and UV radiation. They do not deform or change color, even after many years of use.
  • Wooden windows: They require regular maintenance, such as varnishing or impregnation, to protect them against moisture and mold.
  • PVC windows: Although moisture resistant, they may fade when exposed to UV radiation and their surface may become dull over time.

Technical and construction possibilities of aluminum windows

Modern technologies allow us to implement the most demanding projects that are often impossible to implement in the case of wood or PVC:

  1. Large-size sliding doors
    Sliding systems in aluminum windows can reach even a dozen or so meters in width. Additionally, thanks to the use of modern solutions, such as HS systems (lift and slide), they can be easily operated, despite their large weight.
  2. Corner glazing without visible posts
    Aluminum allows for corner glazing with an almost invisible glass joint. Such solutions, unavailable in the case of PVC and wood, give the building a modern and unique character.
  3. Integration with smart home systems
    Aluminum works perfectly with advanced home automation systems. Windows can be equipped with automatic opening, weather sensors or anti-burglary systems, which is more difficult to achieve with wood and PVC.

The role of sunshades in large glazing

Large glazing, although beautiful, requires appropriate protection from the sun. Aluminum windows work perfectly with various types of covers, which have both a practical and aesthetic function:

  1. Facade blinds

Thanks to their construction, they allow for precise regulation of the amount of light entering the interior. Aluminum, as a supporting material for large glazing, allows for easy installation facade blinds, which fit perfectly into the modernist character of the building.

  1. Reflexes

Reflexes are minimalistic external blinds with fabric, which are perfect for large glazing. Their installation allows you to limit the heating of the interior in the summer, while not losing the view of the surroundings.

  1. Roller shutters

blinds, especially those integrated with window frames, provide not only protection from the sun, but also additional thermal and acoustic insulation. Aluminum, thanks to its strength, is the ideal material for their installation.

Thermal and acoustic insulation

Many investors mistakenly believe that aluminum is inferior in terms of thermal insulation. Thanks to modern technological solutions, such as the use of thermal breaks and special seals, aluminum windows offer excellent insulation:

  • Aluminum windows: Thanks to modern profiles with thermal breaks and triple glazing, they are able to achieve parameters comparable to wood and PVC.
  • Wooden and PVC windows: Although naturally well insulating, their technical capabilities are limited when dealing with very large glazing.

Additionally, aluminum effectively dampens noise, which is important in villas located near busy streets or city centers.

Summary: why choose aluminum windows?

Aluminum windows are the perfect solution for modern villas that focus on large glazing, minimalist design and the highest quality of workmanship. Thanks to their structural advantages, durability and compatibility with sun protection systems, aluminum is becoming an irreplaceable choice for investors looking for aesthetics and functionality at the highest level.

By choosing aluminum windows, you gain:

  • the ability to implement even the most demanding projects,
  • aesthetics that match contemporary trends,
  • durability and resistance to changing weather conditions,
  • effective cooperation with sun protection systems.

What if windows and doors with poor fire resistance class are installed?

What if windows and doors with poor fire resistance class are installed?

fireproof windows door walls, Aluminum doors, Aluminum structures, DOOR Filipek aluminum windows

Installing windows and doors with the wrong fire resistance class can lead to serious consequences, both legal and practical, which can threaten the safety of the building and its users. The introduction of such elements into the building that do not meet fire protection requirements can have several significant effects:

Lack of adequate fire protection

Fireproof windows and doors are a key element of the fire protection system in a building. Installing elements with a lower fire resistance class than required by regulations or the building design can significantly reduce the effectiveness of fire protection. The consequences may include:

  • Faster fire spread: If doors or windows have too low a fire resistance class, fire can spread more easily to other areas of the building, increasing the risk of a larger fire.
  • Insufficient thermal insulation: Doors and windows with too low a class may not provide adequate thermal insulation, which accelerates the increase in temperature in adjacent rooms and therefore increases the risk of fire in these areas.
  • Danger to people in the building: If fire protection is inadequate, evacuation times can be significantly reduced, exposing building occupants to a greater risk of injury or death.

Legal and financial consequences

Installing windows and doors that do not comply with regulations can lead to serious legal consequences:

  • Civil and criminal liability: In case of fire, if it is determined that the use windows or doors did not meet fire safety requirements, the building owner, designer or contractor may be held civilly or criminally liable. This can lead to financial penalties and, in extreme cases, even criminal liability.
  • Insurance problems: If fire protection systems are not up to standard, the insurer may refuse to pay in the event of a fire. The insurance may also be invalidated, meaning that any fire-related losses will be covered by the building owner.
  • Administrative penalties: According to building regulations, installing improper windows or doors can result in administrative sanctions. Building control authorities can impose fines on the building owner or contractor, order the dismantling and replacement of elements with those that comply with the standards, and in extreme cases even order the closure of the building until the deficiencies are corrected.

Consequences during the technical acceptance of the building

During the technical inspection of the building (e.g. by the fire department or building supervision), installation of windows, facades and doors with the wrong fire resistance class may result in the building not being approved for use. Inspectors will carefully check that all fire protection elements – including windows and doors – meet the requirements of the regulations and the building design.

  • Delay in obtaining occupancy permit: Incorrect installation may require corrections, which may delay the building's commissioning and thus generate additional costs and financial losses.

Replacement and repair costs

If it turns out that windows and doors with the wrong fire resistance class have been installed, they may need to be replaced. This in turn involves:

  • Additional replacement costs: Removing and reinstalling the affected windows and doors is a costly process that may require additional financial outlays.
  • Delays in project implementation: Any need to repair or replace building elements extends the investment implementation time.

Threat to the company's reputation

If improperly selected windows and doors lead to a fire or other incident that threatens people's safety, it can negatively affect the reputation of the construction company, architect, developer or building owner. Such situations can lead to a loss of trust from customers and contractors, which in the long run can have serious business consequences.

Summary

Window and door installation with an inappropriate fire resistance class can expose the building to a serious fire hazard, and its owner and contractors to legal, financial and reputational consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to always use elements that comply with applicable regulations and technical designs. In case of doubt, it is best to consult experts or building supervision authorities to ensure that the solutions used are appropriate and safe.

Aluminum is also lightweight, durable and easy to process, which allows the creation of modern and aesthetic architectural solutions.

Fire protection requirements in construction for aluminum windows and doors

In Poland, the regulations regarding fire protection in buildings are specified in Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 12 April 2002 on the technical requirements to be met by buildings and their location. Chapter 7 of this regulation provides detailed information on the requirements related to fire protection in buildings.

Fire resistance classes

The most important criterion for fire-resistant windows and doors is their fire resistance class, which is marked with the letters EI and a number indicating the time in minutes that the element retains its protective properties.

  • E (fire integrity) – The window or door must be airtight and prevent the passage of flames or hot gases for a specified period of time.
  • I (fire insulation) – The window or door must prevent heat from reaching the side not affected by the fire.

Example of marking: EI 30 means that the element maintains fire tightness and insulation for at least 30 minutes. For more demanding facilities, products with higher parameters can be used, such as EI 60, EI 90, and even EI 120.
