Otto Hahn School

Technically sophisticated window refurbishment at the Otto Hahn Comprehensive School in Frankfurt am Main

During the renovation of ‘Building B’ at Otto Hahn School, the windows had to meet demanding requirements that called for complex adaptation to the existing building structure and specific functional requirements. In particular, high standards applied with regard to tightness, energy efficiency, stability, safety, sound insulation and burglary resistance.

The wood/aluminium sliding window solution enables safe ventilation without window sashes protruding into the room – ideal for schools, offices and public buildings. The low-maintenance solution impresses with its intuitive operation, high air exchange rate and long-lasting tightness – for greater energy efficiency and room quality.
