Windows and doors - REHAU
REHAU celebrates its 75th anniversary in the window and door market in 2024. The company sees its global activities as a commitment. It sees itself as a guarantor of DNA at a high level of quality. The industry must face the challenges of today's global megatrends. Megatrends include the sustainability issues of energy efficiency, the change in the building envelope, but also other issues such as preparing for taxonomy legislation or the increased proportion of argumentation that customers need. REHAU will be presenting this mission at Fensterbau Frontale 2024 in Nuremberg.
REHAU Window Solutions: Taking the customer's perspective and providing arguments
Based on the global megatrends, it is crucial for REHAU Window Solutions to engage with its partners and customers. The trade fair appearance at Fensterbau Frontale serves to take a view from the perspective of partners and customers and thus support customers in their sales success.
Megatrends: skills shortage, Green Deal, Renovation Wave or recycling and circular economy
REHAU is developing solutions for the megatrends in order to provide answers to global challenges. Central topics are also digitalization, for example for smart home solutions, and energy efficiency and safety are already considered in the design phase. The result is a sustainable product with a convincing design.
Window innovation: ARTEVO TERRA with biodegradable PVC
How is the challenge solved in the actual implementation? One example of this is the lead product ARTEVO, which meets the criteria for market requirements with a recycled content of 75%. The next step is the ARTEVO TERRA. A solution with a recycled content of up to 78% which, with the bio-attributed PVC sheathing, now has a recycled content of up to 80%. This creates a standard solution that REHAU partners can use immediately to have good arguments at hand even in difficult markets. REHAU Windows Solutions relies on its own recycling model. Material is collected and processed in our own recycling plants. In this way, the material can be kept in the cycle from granulate to production. Further highlights from REHAU Windows Solutions at Fensterbau Frontale 2024 can be discovered with SLINOVA and SLINOVA X in the area of sliding systems.
The entire value chain is traceable
The entire value chain is linked to digitalization. This applies to the creation of the product in order to optimize production, but also to traceability with the Window ID, which functions like an ID card for the product. It becomes traceable when it is installed, where it is installed, so that you can later ensure that the cycle is really closed.
ARTEVO product series offers many features
ARTEVO as a product series is equipped with many features. The design is visually very sleek. The usability is characterized by the fact that a special static is used. It is a formulation that is reinforced with fiber, a synthetic fiber with very high strength. The result is a product that looks very slim and yet has extremely good statics. Customers benefit from a lot of light in the building with a recycling concept that meets the criteria of future trends in such a way that the building owner, as a private owner or commercial investor, is also geared towards the taxonomy-relevant issues. The customer receives a package of design, plenty of light and good statics in a sustainable cycle that also represents the right solution for the future.
Smart privacy solution - make windows opaque at the touch of a button
The Smart Privacy solution is available for REHAU window constructions. Here, panes can be made opaque at the touch of a button. This is ideal for front doors with side panels, but of course also for windows in the living area or bathroom. With these smart solutions, it is also possible to darken the course of the pane in the glass, as with roller blinds or external venetian blinds. Operation is very intuitive and responds immediately. The added value of intelligent windows with additional functions is self-explanatory. Assembly and installation is kept very simple for partners thanks to plug & play solutions. Another example of how to develop a new business more quickly and efficiently.
Windows of the future play an important role as part of the building envelope
The window of the future should be easy to operate and also be seen as part of the building envelope. Ventilation control functions are a matter of course at REHAU these days, as are innovative functions in the glass such as Smart Privacy. But there are even more possibilities that the window can take on. These include touch functions in the glass, even if these are still relatively cost-intensive today. These are all topics that REHAU Window Solutions is working on in order to create additional added value for windows through innovation.
