REYNAERS
IN KYIV

Reynaers Aluminium systems in Kyiv: MasterLine 8, MasterPatio, HiFinity and ConceptWall 50. Engineering selection, glazing and installation.

BIFORIUM architectural glazing — reference project for Kyiv and the Kyiv region

CONTEXT

Reynaers is a set of different architectural tools.

Reynaers tends to appear on Kyiv projects where windows, large sliders and façade zones need to read as one architectural language. Matching colour is only part of the task; frame depths, system junctions and drainage levels also need coordination.

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 high or exposed elevations we review wind loading separately. With large MasterPatio or HiFinity elements, delivery access and the final supporting base are considered at the same time as the system choice.

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 should not be treated as one generic brand specification. Each platform has different limits for size, weight, visible geometry and drainage.

SYSTEM SELECTION

Systems we compare.

We first define the element — window, lift-slide, minimal slider or façade — and only then compare the relevant Reynaers configurations around geometry and performance.

WHAT WE CHECK

01

Architectural sightlines

02

Element dimensions

03

Glass weight

04

Uw and solar control

05

Thresholds and drainage

06

System interfaces

INPUT DATA

What we need for an initial review.

The most useful starting information is a set of elevations, floor sections and a few key junctions. They show where a system fits cleanly and where the architectural concept needs adjustment.

01

Opening drawings

Elevations showing element divisions, opening directions and the main levels.

02

Architectural context

Required sightlines, floor level, façade build-up and areas where the frame is intended to disappear behind finishes.

03

Glazing requirements

A glass specification if available, or at least the solar, safety, acoustic and transparency requirements.

04

Installation conditions

Bearing surfaces, waterproofing, drainage, installation access and the lifting plan for heavy insulating glass units.

START A PROJECT

Have drawings or a specification?

Send the elevations and key sections. We will break the project down by element type and show where MasterLine, MasterPatio, HiFinity or ConceptWall make practical sense.
