The preferred solution

Janisol Arte 2.0, the second-generation renovation window from Schueco Jansen, is proving popular with architects because of its enhanced specification, improved performance characteristics and ability to satisfy the aesthetic concerns of local authority planners and conservation officers, the company said.

‘Retro’ Janisol Arte 2.0 offers an enlarged range of profiles with slim sight-lines from 25mm. A wider choice of glazing bead shapes – right-angled, bevelled, scotia and flat – makes it easier to find an exact match for the steel windows being replaced.

Since laser-welded profiles can now be added to standard Arte profiles, mullion spans can be significantly increased, so enabling the Janisol Arte 2.0 window to accommodate much larger areas of fenestration.

Available in all the opening types commonly encountered in both pre- and post-war industrial buildings, maximum vent weights have increased to 150kg thanks to the introduction of 3D adjustable stainless steel hinges. Another benefit is that simpler fabrication techniques reduce manufacturing time by up to 85%, meaning that six and a half Janisol Arte 2.0 vents can be produced in the time it took to make a single vent in the previous system.
