The Annecy Thermal-Break 105 Dual Inward-Opening Window offers a blend of advanced engineering and aesthetic sophistication, designed to meet the highest standards in insulation, strength, and visual appeal. Constructed with 6063-T6 aluminum alloy with a wall thickness of 1.8mm, the window's frame and sash provide superior strength and durability. Glass options include laminated, single, or double insulating glass configurations, catering to varying insulation needs and soundproofing requirements.

The window is available in both inward-opening and tilt-and-turn inward-opening styles, with a standard inner insect screen featuring high-transparency mesh, stainless steel mesh, or a hybrid for optimal ventilation and pest prevention. Additional features include magnetic and solar blinds embedded within the glass, providing versatile light and privacy control. With three-seal strip technology and a full-frame welded gasket for a high air-tightness level, the unit achieves a GB8 rating with excellent air permeability.

Enhanced drainage is achieved through a vertical hidden drainage system that supports high drainage efficiency while maintaining a clean facade, complemented by an isobaric drainage structure that reaches a GB6 water-tightness standard. Structurally, the window supports up to 1500mm x 1500mm dimensions with wind resistance reaching a GB9 rating, ensuring robust performance in diverse weather conditions.

For acoustic performance, the window includes double-glazed laminated glass, reducing noise transmission up to 47dB. Triple Low-E glass with thermal insulation bars keeps the overall U-value (Kw) at 1.1W/(m².K), ensuring outstanding thermal efficiency. Aesthetic highlights include a hidden drainage hole design, flush structure aligning inner and outer frames, and ultra-narrow frame lines that provide a seamless, minimalist look with customizable color options for unique interior and exterior visuals.

Safety is prioritized with child safety locks on the screen door and softened corners to prevent injuries. Micro-ventilation and streamlined airflow further enhance usability, while polyurethane foam insulation in the thermal-break profile supports energy savings and eco-friendliness. This window exemplifies innovative design, with attention to user safety, aesthetic integration, and environmental impact.
