Yingtai Aluminum is a professional manufacturer for aluminum profiles, aluminum windows and doors.

HOGEL is our brand for windows and doors. It specialized in Nordic-style aluminum thermal break system windows and doors covering series from 80 to 300. There are 2 production bases in Foshan & Zhangzhou. Our products are exported to the US, Europe, North America & South America, Middle Asia, and Africa.

Advantages of Ultra-narrow System Windows

1. Premium Minimalist Aesthetic Effect

Ultra-narrow system windows feature ultra-slim frame, with visible frame only 2.8 centimeters or even slimmer. The streamlined minimalist lines fit mainstream Nordic modern home design perfectly. This slim frame design removes visual obstruction, creates a neat, high-end building facade, and matches modern villa, high-rise apartment and landscape decoration styles greatly.

2. Excellent Natural Daylight & Indoor Transparency

Different from standard thick-frame aluminum windows, ultra-narrow windows adopt full-glass or curtain-wall design on top, bottom and two sides. It maximizes glass area, improves indoor daylighting rate, boosts air convection, enhances indoor spacious feeling, and realizes panoramic indoor-outdoor landscape viewing.


Disadvantages of Ultra-narrow System Windows

1. Ordinary Sound Insulation Performance

Limited by slim frame cavity structure, ultra-narrow aluminum frames cannot install thick sealing gaskets and multi-layer soundproof accessories. Its original noise reduction ability is weaker than conventional thermal break system windows. Solution: Match laminated insulated soundproof glass to upgrade overall sound insulation effect for noisy roadside areas.

2. Limited Thermal Insulation & Heat Preservation

The narrow profile cavity leaves limited space for high-performance thermal break strips and sealed structures, leading to limited heat insulation performance. It cannot block outdoor cold and heat transfer efficiently.Solution: Customize upgraded multi-cavity thermal strips and double/triple insulated glass to optimize energy-saving performance.

3. Restricted Application Scenarios

Ultra-narrow slim frame windows are not suitable for all construction projects.

Recommended scenarios: High-rise residential buildings, quiet landscape balconies, modern commercial buildings that prioritize appearance and day lighting.

Not recommended scenarios: Independent villas, roadside buildings, high partition walls, communities with heavy traffic noise, which require high sound insulation and energy-saving performance.
