GeoPet Aluminium (stand S2074) is proud to present the SlimLine Frame
system of sliding windows, inspired by the panoramic windows used by
architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. While
traditional window systems use glass as filler and the frame as a structural
support, GeoPet work with the intrinsic characteristic of glass and give it
the function of a self-supporting element, free to slide within a frame with
no constraints regarding its dimensions. Fully panoramic windows are
now possible, without intrusive lines or sills between the interior and the
exterior.
