Garda Line
Define every setting with style. Dissolve the boundaries between inside and nature to give space to the sunlight. Light and beautiful, Garda is the new coplanar window conceived to respond to the most innovative solutions of contemporary design. A concise window with joint angles of ninety degrees and high technological performance. Imagine running your hand along the wall of the building without any interruption. Thanks to the positioning of the frame and the leaf in the same plane, the coplanar window is inserted within the architectural context of reference with elegant minimalism.
Wood
Profile entirely in coplanar wood for the leaf and frame. Processing of the wood carried out with final planing with a fixed blade which returns the naturalness of the material at both the visual and olfactory levels. The design highlights the pureness of the lines, with extremely reduced sections – only 112 mm at the central node of the two leaves – making the window aesthetically pleasing and concise. The laminate wood that is used is PEFC certified and originates from forests with certified sustainable management. Layers of elements with a length greater than 2,500 mm are joined with finger joints. The minimum length between the joints is equal to 800 mm.
Aluminum
Profile in aluminum alloy EN AW-6060 (Al MgSi) with thickness of 1.5 mm oxidizable or paintable with powder coat within the RAL range. The coplanar profile is attached externally with floating technology to the wooden structure along its entire length, for the purpose of guaranteeing the degrees of freedom throughout the temperature ranges.
Thermal Performance
Thermal transmittance equal to 0.85 W/(m²K) according to the UNI EN ISO 10077-1 standard with low emissivity glass from 52 mm.
Structure
Supporting structure in laminate wood, with aspects in spruce, larch, or oak, and exterior covering formed from an extruded aluminum profile.
Fittings
Siegenia Titan AF fittings in the turn and tilt or sliding versions, completely hidden. Elements in tropicalized steel with hinges and latches that are adjustable in three directions. Basic anti-break-in series configuration, with antidrill handles and opening prevention from the outside.
Seals
Three seals in TPE expanded thermoplastic material, resistant against atmospheric agents with a sealing function against water, air, and noise.
Painting
Integral Essepi painting, with robotized three-coat treatment applied on its entire surface – including the surface facing the joints – before assembly. This technology gives the product a double lifespan with respect to systems with traditional painting. All of the profiles are treated with antiworm and antimould paint, brushed, and painted with transparent or covering hydrosoluble acrylic products that are resistant to UV light. With certain woods such as larch, it is possible to not use chemical paints so as to appreciate the aromatic essence of the wood and the surface to the touch.
Glass
Glazing available with a thickness of either 28 or 36 mm double paned, or 52 mm triple paned. Plate glass single paned or stratified with a thickness from 4 to 10 mm. Paired with the plate glass is PVB film that may have functions of security, anti-break-in, or acoustical insulation. Possibility of one or more panes of multiple glazing with low emissivity treatment. Groove with Super Spacer or low conductivity TGI, in various colors. Airspace filled with inert argon gas. The composition of the multiple glazing as a function of the type of panes supplied will have the thermal, acoustical, safety, solar factor, and luminosity performance as desired.

The ideal window for the new style of living
With its subtle lines and the concise profile, the Garda coplanar window responds to the most varied architectural solutions and to current residential trends. Greater luminosity from the environment is accompanied by a restrained style in a clean design, where wall and window are in perfect harmonious continuity.
Wood and Aluminum
The soul of Garda is high quality wood, such as Norway spruce from the Val di Fiemme, which is paired with the lightness of aluminum. High performance with both thermal and acoustical insulation make this window the ideal solution for all those in search of the perfect combination between aesthetics and living technology.
