Questions and Answers from Framex
Framex – quality under any circumstances
FAQ for the End Consumer
About PVC Window and Door Systems:
Framex 80 has a greater installation depth (80 mm), 7 chambers, and triple sealing, providing better thermal insulation compared to Framex 71 (71 mm, 6 chambers) and Framex 58 (58 mm, 4 chambers).
Framex 80 is frequently used in private houses, cottages, and large construction projects where high energy efficiency and the ability to install thick glazing units (up to 50 mm) are essential.
If you need a balance of price, insulation, and functionality, Framex 71 works well as a modern mid-range system with optimal performance for the Ukrainian climate.
Framex 58 is ideal where moderate insulation is sufficient — offices, technical rooms, interior partitions, balconies.
Yes. The Framex 80 and Framex 71 door solutions are designed for entrance groups and support reinforced hardware and anti-burglar components.
Yes. Framex systems are available in laminated finishes (wood-effect, solid colors, combinations) and can also be colored “in mass,” meaning the profile is colored throughout.
Yes. The dimensions and installation specifications match standard openings, and the thermal performance significantly improves the home’s energy efficiency.
Yes. Multiple sealing contours and a well-engineered drainage system ensure airtightness and effective moisture removal.
Yes. All Framex PVC systems support the installation of energy-saving and multifunctional glazing units of various thicknesses.
Yes. Framex systems are designed for standard wind loads, and proper reinforcement selection ensures stability and deformation resistance.
About Aluminum Window and Door Systems:
When large constructions, slim frames, high rigidity, or a modern aluminum appearance are required — or when integrating with Framex façade systems.
Framex 10 is a non-insulated (“cold”) system intended for interior partitions, vestibules, balconies, and other areas without thermal insulation requirements.
Framex 38 allows the creation of slim-profile window and door structures, ideal for contemporary architecture and commercial projects.
Its thermal break and triple sealing protect from cold, wind, and water, reduce condensation risk, and improve energy performance in residential and office buildings.
Yes. FT72 and other series can be installed into Framex façade systems, ensuring a unified look across the entire project.
Yes. Profiles are powder-coated at Framex’s own facility in any RAL color, with a variety of textures available.

About Aluminum Sliding Systems and Faсades:
They do not deform, sag, or crack, allow large sash sizes, and maintain their properties for 20–30 years. Slim profiles bring more light, while aluminum tolerates temperature extremes and moisture. It is non-combustible, does not yellow, and provides smooth sliding even for heavy sashes. Available in any RAL color, wood textures, matte or anodized finishes — ideal for terraces, balconies, and verandas.
This system offers monorail, two-rail, and three-rail frames. In the monorail version, the fixed glazing is installed directly into the frame, reducing weight and increasing transparency. Two- and three-rail options allow all sashes to slide. All versions can be integrated into Framex faсade systems.
Framex 50 is a classic mullion-transom façade system used for large buildings — malls, business centers, office complexes, and private architecture.
Framex F50 SG is a structural glazing system with narrow visible joints, creating a “continuous glass” façade effect.
Framex FN55 is an aluminum substructure for ventilated façade cladding. It is mounted on the bearing wall and supports various finishing materials.
Yes. Framex HS 180 is specifically designed for integration into Framex façade structures.
Yes. Framex profiles and components support the installation of curtain walls and doors on high floors with interior glazing.
About Sun-Protection and Wind-Protection Systems:

Yes. The fabric screens block direct sunlight, create shade, reduce air-conditioning load, and protect from UV radiation and drafts.
It is an external fabric shading system with automatic control (remote), a canvas up to 4×3 m, and an aluminum structure painted in any RAL color.
They protect outdoor areas — café terraces, hotel spaces, balconies, and open zones — from wind and street noise.
