About Us
Difference
A few of the ways we stand out.
Revolutionary Tilt & Turn mechanics. Invite nature into your living space with our breathtaking Tilt & Turn windows and doors, as well as Lift & Slide, Fold & Slide and Tilt & Slide patio doors. Our easy-to-use (one-handed!) Tilt & Turn technology allows you to open your windows and doors completely – and we can build to any and all size specifications.
Superb energy efficiency. Gaulhofer windows exceed all insulation standards (u-value, air infiltration, solar heat gain, decibel level), sometimes by more than double. Our optimized thermal glass spacer, Thermostop, minimizes low temperature zones around the glass edges and thermal bridging. This means lower heating costs, a more evenly maintained temperature in your home, and superb condensation protection. Energy efficiency features include argon or krypton (option) filling and low-e coated glazing.
Extreme weather resistance. Our technically superior aluminum skin that allows for thermal expansion fully protects Gaulhofer wood windows from rain, snow and hail, and renders them practically maintenance free. The design has been carefully engineered down to the smallest detail to virtually eliminate condensation, allow free water drainage and diffuse moisture.
A guaranteed clear view. You’ll always enjoy a clear view, because Gaulhofer has eliminated the problem of condensation and has made staining a thing of the past. Our patented Thermostop glass pane spacing system and Dampfstop vapor barrier produces low thermal bridging values thereby virtually eliminating condensation, improving thermal insulation by 45% and creating more comfortable ambient room temperatures.
An infinitely stable product. Our windows keep their shape even under the most extreme stress from all types of weather. We achieve ultimate stability and minimize warping by using triple-laminating clear edge grain wood, specialized joinery and multiple locking points.
The best possible materials. Our wooden windows are manufactured using Austria’s finest larch and spruce – woods are chosen for their resilience to extreme climatic conditions. The aluminum components of our wood/aluminum windows are the result of many years of research and development. These components are made from high-tech materials designed for long life, weather resistance, low maintenance and easy cleaning.
The ultimate in safety and security. Our windows and doors are equipped with a multi-point locking mechanism that lets fresh air in and keeps intruders out - even if they are in the tilt positions. The locking system features mushroom-shaped locking points on the bottom of every tilt unit. Our use of intelligent pin protection makes it hard for unwanted guests to lever out your window, and our anti-drilling device protects against drilling of the window gear from the outside. Also, ‘slam shut’ technology (sway bar with brake) means your window can safely remain open in windy conditions. You may also choose laminated, shatterproof safety glass and high security fittings in all our products.
Distinctive, timeless design. Proven in the European marketplace, the beauty, technology and substance of Gaulhofer windows will set you apart. Gaulhofer creates a uniform look and feel to their windows and doors by using matching profiles and dimensions of frame and sash. The simple beauty and sheer elegance of our windows, doors and hardware can even eliminate the need for casings.
Infinite choice. Gaulhofer products are as varied as life, and turn an ordinary house into a dream home. Whether you are a homeowner, architect, designer or builder of fine homes, you will find a solution at Gaulhofer. Our windows and doors are all custom-made to size and shape, and you can choose one of the multitude of our standard colors or ask us to custom match virtually any colour. We also offer a wide range of made-to-order design options, superb hardware and cool accessories such as insect screens and shutters.
