Descending window
The vertical highlight
At the touch of a button, the entire window front sinks into the floor as if by magic, allowing the interior to merge with the exterior – with absolutely seamlessly. The advantage over a sliding window front: The slider does not have to be pushed in front of a fixed element. This allows the entire window façade to be opened.
Sufficient space underneath the glazing is required for a technical room to position the descending window in the open state. The controller, motor, drive shaft and counterweight are also housed here.
Unique sealing system –
how air-lux works
Descending window
The unique air-lux sealing concept with all-round inflatable ring seals guarantees 100% impermeability against driving rain, wind and noise.
Open window:
the seal is vented at the touch of a button. After unlocking and venting, the glass wall disappears silently into the floor by a constant push of a button.
Close window:
the descending window is closed by a constant push of a button. As soon as the window frame is completely closed, the LED in the button goes out and air is pumped into the seal.
Features of the air-lux descending windows
Construction
The moving parts are raised and lowered silently by means of an electric drive. In the event of a power failure, the descending window can be closed manually from the technical room.
As the descending window disappears completely into the ground, enough space beneath the glazing must be available to accommodate it when open. This technical area includes the control, motor, drive shaft and the counterweight, and must be accessible for maintenance work. The dimensions of the technical area are determined and logged by air-lux.
Operation
The window functions are operated by a button with a deadman’s switch and visual monitoring of the movement. The buttons are activated via a key switch. This prevents unauthorised people from operating.
Sizes and weight
Big is good – bigger is better! In the case of descending windows, the size is limited only by the maximum possible glass sizes:
The larger the achievable glass wall, the more impressive the effect when open. Different glass thicknesses and safety glass with bullet resistance can be installed.
Surfaces and materials
Whether a special wood, architectural bronze or stone, We produce sunken windows in different real materials and surfaces. The core is always our high quality, thermally insulated aluminum profile clad with the required material.
Safety
We manufacture and assemble the air-lux project in compliance with the machine guidelines. This means that personal protection is guaranteed at all times, whether during the operation of the descending window, during a power outage or in severe weather conditions.
Glass to a thickness of 60 mm can and bullet-resistant safety glass can also be constructed.
