Functional frame component for wood-aluminium windows with water-draining effect

12-12-2023 | The “Triangle” window frame element from BUG Aluminium-Systeme (BUG) is a small, functional component that is integrated into the aluminium frame. This creates inclined profile contours in the lower area of the cover frame and sash, which promote water drainage and reduce the water level in front of the glass pane and the seal on the aluminium profile.

Wood-aluminium windows are very complex to manufacture. It requires detailed planning and meticulous craftsmanship. Specialist companies often come across weathered windows that require renovation or even complete window replacement. Therefore, small helpers can play a key role in assisting end customers with the installation of new windows. Anyone investing in new windows expects technically sophisticated, secure systems with intelligent design features.

Exclusive designs create an attractive facade silhouette

The BUG Triangle window element is a unique frame that sets itself apart from previous market offerings. Thanks to the small insert in the aluminium shell, it is easy to implement combinations of angled and angular profile systems within a window. The combination of straight and angled aluminium profiles creates a visual and functional highlight that does not require any additional planning.

The BUG Triangle is a permanently integrated insert element for the sash and/or frame corner, and it is compatible with all standard glass variants. It can be combined with both flush and recessed windows. Thanks to its variability, the triangle element can be integrated on all sides of the sash frame. This extension optimises weather protection due to the drainage slope, especially on the lower sash or frame profile. At the same time, there are countless design options that guarantee an attractive facade silhouette.

Reliable water drainage

According to the manufacturer, the practical BUG Triangle window frame element offers a decisive benefit over many other wood-aluminium window frames: the bevelled sash profile favours the drainage of rainwater even when the window is tilted. Condensation and moss formation on the seals, as well as snow deposits, are reduced. This prevents water from accumulating and from penetrating to the inside when the sash is opened. Dirt is also prevented and window maintenance is made considerably easier. This shows that BUG makes no compromises when it comes to economy, durability, safety and product quality.
