REYNAERS
IN KHARKIV
Reynaers Aluminium systems in Kharkiv: MasterLine 8, MasterPatio, HiFinity and ConceptWall 50. Engineering selection, glazing and installation.
CONTEXT
In Kharkiv, we select Reynaers by element type and envelope detail rather than by brand name alone.
For Reynaers in Kharkiv, the first question is whether an aluminium platform is justified for the opening in question. MasterLine windows, large MasterPatio units and HiFinity sliders have different thermal, weight and installation logic and should not be specified as one generic family.
We use Reynaers where architecture requires a precise balance between narrow sightlines, large glazing, thermal performance and demanding opening geometries. A single building may combine window, sliding and façade platforms, and their interfaces need to be coordinated.
On large elements, internal glass-edge temperature, frame support and the airtightness of the lower junction often have a greater effect on comfort than small differences between catalogue figures.
ENGINEERING
Resolve it before fabrication.
MasterLine 8, MasterPatio, HiFinity and ConceptWall 50 solve different problems. We do not substitute systems by a simple “more expensive is better” rule; size, weight, energy target, threshold, drainage, façade grid and installation strategy are reviewed first.
MasterLine, MasterPatio, HiFinity and ConceptWall differ in more than appearance. Aluminium fraction, threshold, drainage and support requirements vary significantly, especially on large thermally sensitive openings.
SYSTEM SELECTION
Systems we compare.
We split the project into windows, doors, sliders and façade zones. Each group is then checked separately for practical size, Uw, glass, lower junction and installation access.
WHAT WE CHECK
Architectural sightlines
Element dimensions
Glass weight
Uw and solar control
Thresholds and drainage
System interfaces
INPUT DATA
What we need for an initial review.
A few representative sections are often more useful than a full general plan: window base, terrace threshold, façade junction and the zone where the frame disappears into insulation.
Opening drawings
Elevations with element references, clearly marking the largest opening and sliding units.
Architectural context
Floor and façade sections showing insulation, finished levels and the intended depth of concealed framing.
Glazing requirements
Façade orientation, thermal target, safety requirements and the desired visual character of the glass.
Installation conditions
Support stiffness beneath large elements, waterproofing strategy and actual access for installers and lifting equipment.
START A PROJECT
Have drawings or a specification?
Send the elevations and two or three key details. We will identify where a Reynaers platform is technically justified and where a simpler system can achieve the same architectural result.
