In the ever-evolving world of smart home technology, Quanex introduces a groundbreaking Giesse innovation that redefines how we interact with our living spaces — GIESSE SMART CHIC. This complete hardware system for aluminium windows is not just smart — it is invisibly smart. At the heart of its design lies a concealed actuator, seamlessly integrated even into the most minimal window frames, making automation discreet yet elegant. With SMART CHIC, Giesse sets a new benchmark for intelligent living by blending aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.
Smart By Design, Concealed By Choice
GIESSE SMART CHIC is more than a motorised window — it is a responsive and adaptive system that innovates, perceives, communicates, protects, and adjusts to user needs. Designed to enhance everyday living, it operates silently in the background, improving comfort and safety without drawing attention to itself.
The Actuator Disappears — Even In Minimal Profiles
Measuring just 17×25 mm, the actuator houses the motor, electronics, and gears in a compact form that disappears into even the slimmest profiles. This minimalist design pairs perfectly with Giesse’s C.H.I.C. concealed hinges, ensuring a sleek, unobtrusive look with no visible wires or batteries. Even the handle can be removed, achieving a truly invisible finish.
Installer-Friendly With Remote Support
GIESSE also prioritises professionals. A dedicated mobile app guides installers through configuration and testing, simplifying setup. Once operational, authorised technicians can diagnose and resolve issues remotely, without physically accessing the actuator — reducing downtime and service costs.

Connected Living, Accessibility, And Security
One of SMART CHIC’s most transformative features is its seamless integration with existing smart ecosystems. Compatible with the Matter protocol and smart assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa, it allows users to operate windows through simple voice commands. This accessibility feature empowers elderly users or those with physical limitations to control their environment effortlessly.
The system also supports controlled access and remote assistance, allowing family members to open or close windows from afar — ideal for assisting elderly relatives or managing a second home. In emergencies such as rain or fire, SMART CHIC responds automatically to home security alerts, closing windows to safeguard interiors.
When integrated with home automation systems and sensors, it enables intelligent air exchange. Controlled micro-ventilation circulates fresh air while maintaining acoustic comfort and thermal efficiency — optimising ventilation, reducing energy use, and lowering the carbon footprint.
The Road Ahead
As the first in a new generation of smart solutions, GIESSE SMART CHIC lays the foundation for a complete ecosystem of intelligent, connected products designed for comfort, security, and sustainability — all operating on a unified digital platform.
Discover GIESSE SMART CHIC at ZAK Windows and Doors 2025, at the Quanex stand, Hall 1, Booth D1J3, from 4th–7th December, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO), Goregaon East, Mumbai.
