Passive House Frame U-factor of 0.21.
Passive House Whole-Window U-factor down to U-0.15.
Fully fiberglass-reinforced sash with REHAU’s proprietary RAU-FIPRO material provides superior strength to build larger window sizes without steel reinforcement inside the sash.
Sophisticated multi-chambered profiles for superior thermal efficiency.
Master-frame mulled assembly design eliminates traditional “back-to-back" frame connections. Fusion welding creates strong, continuous joints between profiles resulting in corners that can handle significant stress.
Structural performance ratings up to CW-PG-1000.
Premium hardware with around-the-sash locking points yield superior air and water-tightness, even in oversize operable windows.
UV-resistant foil finish offers lasting durability and offers a 20 year warranty.
Integral nailing flange for ease of new construction installation.

We specialize in high-performance building products, with a focus on energy-efficient windows and doors. Our Passive House-certified products help architects, general contractors, and developers meet or exceed modern energy codes and build climate-responsive buildings.
Fiber-reinforced uPVC windows offer superior strength, energy efficiency, and durability. They combine the lightweight benefits of uPVC with the added structural integrity of fiberglass, making them ideal for larger openings and commercial-grade performance. Additionally, they provide excellent thermal insulation, soundproofing, and weather resistance.
Yes, fiber-reinforced uPVC windows are well-suited for high-rise commercial buildings due to their enhanced structural strength, excellent thermal insulation, and resistance to wind loads. The fiberglass reinforcement ensures that the windows can handle the pressures and demands of taller buildings without compromising performance or safety.
The fiber reinforcement in uPVC frames enhances thermal performance by reducing heat transfer. Combined with advanced glazing options, these windows help minimize heating and cooling costs, contributing to an overall reduction in a building's energy consumption. This makes them a great option for achieving energy efficiency goals in commercial properties.
Standard uPVC windows are made purely from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, while fiber-reinforced uPVC windows incorporate fiberglass within the frame, providing added strength and stability. This reinforcement allows for larger window sizes and improved structural integrity, making fiber-reinforced uPVC windows more suitable for commercial and high-performance applications.
Yes, fiber-reinforced uPVC windows are engineered for strength and durability, making them suitable for large commercial projects. The addition of fiberglass reinforcement enhances structural stability, allowing for larger window sizes without the risk of warping or bending, even in extreme conditions. This makes them ideal for high-performance commercial applications.
Aspekt+ offers a lightweight glass and frame combination that is engineered for customization, value, and to accommodate larger sizes.
