Vizus Pasiv
Characteristics of design
Sustainable architecture inspired a variety of innovations. The Standard Passive house is one of the ways of creating the sustainable architecture. It is designed as a number of propositions and requirements used for designing and constructing of passive buildings with the aim of extreme reduction of energy consumption (not more than 15KWh by m2). In this sense a special sections of this standard concerns windows, according to which they must be glazed with triple thermal insulation glass, and the window sash thermal conductivity coefficient must not exceed 0.85W/m2K. Window system Vizus AT135 has been developed in accordance with the mentioned propositions, which implied creation of a massive window system from the outset.
Even and simple surfaces of the windows on the external side facilitate unimpaired construction of RAL fitting details, where the façade cladding of the wall overlaps the window jamb thus providing additional seal of the wall and window joint. Immediately after placing AT135 on the market, the aluminum version Vizus Pasiv VP106 was created. The outside appearance of both systems is identical, which allowed for construction of a single window detail of the external architecture while simultaneously making the interior distinction of the room use.
Systems AT135 and VP106 are extensively used on the buildings expected to have high energy efficiency class rating in the energy passport of the building.

Vizus AT135
Vizus AT135 is composite window system with inward opening, characterized by extremely pronounced resistant properties. As a response to the rigorous requirements of the principles of sustainable architecture, the performances of the window were enhanced to the maximum: thermal resistance, wind resistance, air, water and sound proofing. The realized thermal conductivity coefficient of the window sash, combined with the technological improvement in the production of glasses ranks AT135 among the latest generation of top performance thermally resistant window systems.
The resistant properties of the system are emphasized by the massive dimensions: basic frame thickness 116mm, sash thickness 135mm and total sash height 130mm. The hardware slots are set in the aluminum, thermally resistant profiles, and they are made as a Euro slot system.
The design of wide, even surfaces and sharp lines suggests the monolithic quality of clearly defined frames. The window AT135 with its massiveness, contemporary and straight lines, undoubtedly belongs to the passive house esthetics. Excellent structural properties facilitate construction of the large window schemes, whereby massive wooden frames give a special impression of warmth in the interior.
Window system characteristics:
Wind resistance: Class C4
Air tightness: Class 4
Water tightness: E900
Frame thermal conductivity coefficient
Uf=0.76W/m2K
Vizus VP106
Vizus VP106 is composite window system with inward opening, characterized by extremely pronounced resistant properties. Designed along the same principles as AT 135, with a goal to satisfy the rigorous requirements of the principles of sustainable architecture, possesses excellent performances: thermal resistance, wind resistance, air, water and sound proofing. The realized thermal resistance of the window sash, combined with splendid performance of triple glazing provides the extremely low coefficients of thermal conductivity of the entire window.
The system VP 106 is also characterized by the massive dimensions of window frames, vertical and horizontal partitions: basic frame thickness 106mm, sash thickness 114 mm and total sash height 130mm. The hardware slots are set in the aluminum, thermally resistant profiles, and they are made as a Euro slot system.
In formal terms, VP106 belongs to the esthetics of the passive house, while its excellent structural properties facilitate construction of large window schemes.
