air-lux is a façade system with a unique sealing concept. Includes minimal frame sliding doors, sky-lights, curtain wall, swing doors and large format descending windows. The maintenance-free air-lux window system with systems up to 18 m2 was developed by Krapf AG, a Swiss metal and façade engineering company and comprehensive provider of quality solutions. With air-lux, Krapf AG offers architects, façade planners and home-builders a versatile window façade system that is as architecturally and aesthetically appealing as it is structurally sound.
What makes the air-lux glass façade system truly unique is the patented sealing concept. Whether for frameless sliding windows, pivot doors or descending windows: The air-assisted ring seal running around the window guarantees 100% impermeability – against driving rain, wind and noise, for example. In contrast to systems with sealing lips or brushes, this invisible, nearly maintenance-free air-lux sealing system offers consistent performance without signs of wear.
The descending window extends the air-lux product portfolio with an impressive new way of opening. The complete width of the descending window can be opened and the whole window unit is lowered into the ground. The advantage over sliding units: no fixed elements needed for the window to slide in front of.
Near the sea, the salt content in the air and water increases the demands on buildings and façade components. Air-Lux has developed a system that performs reliably even under maritime conditions.
