Before the system,the question.
Every facade we have built started as a conversation with an architect — a problem the catalogue could not solve, and a pencil. We do not specify from a brochure. We listen to what the building wants to be, then engineer the assembly that delivers it. Sometimes that assembly exists. Sometimes we author it ourselves.
Material isnever alone.
Stone. Timber. Metal. Porcelain. Aluminium.
Each face carries a different weight: mineral, warm, precise, thin, profiled. We choose the skin for the building, then engineer how it meets the glass, the shade, the opening, and the hand.
And then,glass
Every material we build, you can see.
Except the one that matters most. Always already there — deciding the light, the view, the way the whole wall holds together. Never chosen from a catalogue. Judged, for the building. Whatever comes next always begins with the glass.
Aluminium carries a second account beyond the finished surface. It can be remelted at a fraction of primary-production energy, and the profiles we specify carry independently verified recycled-content declarations. Those declarations belong to the profile — not the window or facade — so we keep the claim as narrow as the evidence.
Every finish begins assomething the eye already trusts.
A grain, a sheen, a depth borrowed from the natural world — then engineered into aluminium. Over two hundred finishes, twelve families.
Brased
Scratched metal. Light combed into a single direction, so the reflection travels across the surface as you move past it.

Beyond these, the full RAL spectrum — any colour, on request.
Craft.
In-house fabrication
Every profile is cut, crimped, and glazed in our own workshop. Nothing leaves the floor before it earns the drawing it came from.
FOM automation
Italian machining centers run the line — the same automated fabrication the profile was designed for in Italy.
Three generations
Steel first, then aluminium profiles, now full facades. The workshop has been in the family since 1964.
