Aluprof systems used on the project

The MB-SR50N EFEKT is a facade that provides a uniform external appearance of a smooth glass wall divided by the structure of vertical and horizontal lines of 2 cm, thanks to the use of a special system for fixing panes to mullions and transoms. The gaps between glass fields of the facade are filled with a special silicon binder to ensure high tightness of the construction and enhance its insulation properties.

MB-70 is a modern aluminium system intended for realizations of exterior architectural building elements requiring thermal and acoustic insulation, such as: various types of windows, doors, vestibules, display windows or spatial structures.
