In the KOM 500 U-frame series the frame edge is a deep U-channel: the unit slides onto the sandwich-panel edge during assembly. No cutting, no blind frame, no sub-framing — the bay clicks together like a puzzle.

How it works

Anopeningclosedinthreesteps.

In flat-pack production the joinery behaves like part of the wall: it seats on the lower panel first, and the wall is completed around the window.

The unit slides onto the panel edge

01

The unit slides onto the panel edge

Factory-finished with sash and glazing, the unit slides sideways onto the waist-high lower panel. The U-channel lips grip both faces of the panel.

Neighbouring panels seat into the frame’s U-channels — the bay completes like a puzzle, with no cutting and no blind frame.

The building ships with its joinery

Doors, windows and sliding units install on the same principle; the container leaves the line turnkey, joinery already fitted.

Cross-section

Thevalueisthesectionitself.

The KOM 500 U-frame’s geometry is the installation method: the deep U-channel receives the sandwich panel while the profile body carries the insulation.

01

Deep U-channel

The frame edge forms a deep pocket that receives the sandwich-panel edge; the lips overlap both faces of the panel.

02

Multi-chamber body

The three-chamber PVC body delivers thermal insulation; the design accepts galvanised reinforcement for wind load.

03

Double gasket

Two-stage sealing between sash and frame: Class 4 air permeability, 8A water tightness.

04

Single / double glazing

The glazing bead grips 4, 20 and 24 mm units — the same frame takes you from single glass to insulated double glazing.
