EFCO’s 590X Steel Replica Window is produced in aluminum. It looks like a classic, industrial steel window. The window comes in three profiles: bevel, cove and T-grid.

Fakro’s FGH-V Galeria roof window with sashes that, when open, create a balcony. The upper, top hung sash opens upwards, while the lower sash can be tilted forwards to allow access to a balcony recess. Side safety barriers at the bottom sash slide out during opening. When closing the lower
sash, balcony rails are hidden inside the window and are not visible above the roof surface.
