Post Covid, with the hybrid work pattern, people are seeking more comfortable living spaces since they are spending increased amount of time in their personal abode. This stresses the newfound importance of natural lighting and ventilation, which dictates wider openings and slimmer profiles. Giesse – a well-known brand from Tyman International for high-performance hardware for aluminium windows and doors, addresses both of those issues thanks to its range of concealed hinges, “C.H.I.C.”, and minimal handles, “Supra7”, the perfect hardware for contemporary minimal windows; and also with its micro-ventilation system, the natural ventilation setting as standard on all Giesse tilt-and-turn kits.

New buildings have to account for the wellbeing of the elderly, being it advanced home automation or general simplicity of use when it comes to windows and doors. This is also driven by the increased availability of new technologies that are creating different ways of living and working, thus driving growth in smart buildings and connected homes, as well as heightened awareness of surface hygiene, due to the pandemic. Reguitti and Giesse answer for surface safety is Antigermtm, the exclusive antibacterial treatment for handles that works 24/7, requires no maintenance and kills 99.99% of all germs and bacteria.

Building codes and product certifications are getting stricter worldwide. That includes safety and security, mechanical durability, resistance to wind load, air permeability and water infiltration as well as enhanced fire safety standards. Giesse, Schlegel and Reguitti abide by the strictest in the world: the European standards. All products undergo rigorous in-house testing in the advanced Highdea Test Centre placed in Bologna, Italy, as well as third-party testing with independent auditors to obtain official certifications.
