Functionality or aesthetics? Quality or convenience? These are often the questions that are referred to when needed choose the ideal fixture for your home or office. So why can’t you have it all? We at Noval have been working for about 35 years to find the right compromise between these alternatives, satisfying the most diverse needs. Let’s see together some features to take into consideration for the right choice of the frame:

• Types of opening: Our proposal is hinged or sliding, pivot and book opening. The opening at swing is the most common and opens like a traditional door. The sliding opening allows you to slide the panels on a side track. The pivot opening opens both inwards and outwards. The opening at book is similar to a double leaf opening.
• Frames: The frames can be made of various materials, but the golden mean is certainly the aluminum one, as light and resistant to corrosion. Furthermore, aluminum is a 100% recyclable material, which it means it can be recycled without losing its properties. The aluminum frames can therefore be considered an environmentally sustainable choice.
• Shapes of Frames: Frames can have different shapes, such as rectangular, square, arc, or circular. There choice depends on the overall design of your home and your aesthetic preferences.

We remind you that factors such as thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and the safety when choosing the fixtures. Noval is successfully experimenting with the Airgel system in this regard: By using airgel panels inside the windows, it is possible to significantly reduce heat loss and improve the energy efficiency of the building. This results in lower energy consumption for heating or the cooling.

It also has sound absorbing properties which can help reduce noise transmission through the windows. This can help create a quieter environment within the building by isolating it from outside noise unwanted.
