Impermeability
With their patented, pneumatic sealing system, air-lux sliding windows guarantee outstanding structural integrity and comfort in all weather conditions.
When closed, the perimeter ring seal ensures 100% impermeability – against driving rain, wind and noise. Air is generated in the frame and pumped inaudibly into the seal.
Smooth opening and closing
When the sliding window is in the closed position, the seal that is built into the frame is inflated and pressed against the window profile using a push-button. This ensures that the gap between the fixed element and the sliding element is always 100% closed.
When the button is pressed to open the sliding windows, the seal deflates and retracts.
In contrast to systems with sealing lips or brushes, this invisible, maintenance-free air-lux technology enables frictionless movement of the sliding windows.
Safety
With the air-lux safe configuration, the robust air-lux basic construction can be enhanced through custom safety packages.
With its various safety packages, air-lux offers comprehensive protection functions to protect people and property to the desired degree. All safety measures remain invisible and change neither the profile nor the glass surface.
Active safety through the use of specific materials
The highly resistant air-lux basic construction can be enhanced with additional mechanical and electronic components and specific glasses in tested designs that can be upgraded up to class RC3.
Special glass combinations can offer greater protection if needed:
Laminated safety glass in various classes for effective break-in protection
Alarm glass
Bullet-proof glass (class P6B or higher)
Passive safety through electronic monitoring
Electronic components for monitoring the closing position and locking of the sliding casement windows make it possible to control and monitor the sliding windows through the building management technology (alarm system, home automation system, etc.) – including with mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Expert air-lux technicians are available for the necessary coordination with safety technicians and electrical consultants.

Construction physics
air-lux windows with triple-layer insulating glass conform to the Swiss Minergie standard. Specific requirements in terms of solar and thermal insulation are fulfilled by selecting the right glass.
The refined air-lux system technology fulfils all structural standards and is also ideally suited to sustainable, modern construction from an energy standpoint. The use of high-quality insulating glass, the patented air-lux pneumatic seal and the flawlessly planned and expertly implemented connections to the structure ensure excellent insulating performance.
Moreover, through targeted glass selection, air-lux offers the following advantages:
• Maximum light transmission for brightly lit rooms and a pleasant ambience
• Optimal utilisation of solar energy through various coatings
• Ideal for passive and low-energy houses
• Combinable with safety and noise-insulating functions
Resistance to wind pressure (EN 12210) class C4 / B4
The profile technology of the air-lux system unites the two architectural imperatives of aesthetics and structural functionality. air-lux sliding windows are designed for very high stresses and are suitable for buildings in exposed locations (e.g. coastal areas) as well as high-rises whose façades are exposed to extreme weather conditions.
Material and robustness
Since the first air-lux installation in 2004, over 5'000 sliding casement windows have been installed in Switzerland and abroad. The air-lux system technology guarantees architects and builders long-term functionality, robustness and quality.
air-lux 173 stands for exceptional Swiss manufacturing precision. The robust and high-quality aluminium design with its slim profile achieves top marks in testing up to a maximum size of 25 m2 (max. dimensions 8 x 3.1m). The patented sliding window system is maintenance-free. The surfaces are made of permanently weather-resistant anodised aluminium or powder-coated.
Fittings
All fittings such as running and guide rollers, latching and locking facilities are constructed of high-grade steel. The maintenance-free ball bearings are double-sealed and the running rail is made of special round steel.
air-lux connect
This one-of-a-kind fusion of materials in the sliding-window façade construction field combines aluminium with fine woods or solid bronze and was honoured with the AIT Award in 2013. air-lux connect offers the same technical and structural advantages as the basic version made of aluminium.
