100 % NATURE.GAULHOFER WOOD WINDOWS.

GAULHOFER NATURELINE offers superior window technology crafted from 100 % natural materials. Technical advancements in our profiles provide unparalleled structural characteristics. GAULHOFER only uses high altitude winter-felled Spruce or Larch from sustainable Austrian forests. The high altitude combined with short summer seasons ensure that the Alps Larch grows particularly slow, providing unique raw density, stability and resistance to decay.

Gentle drying of the wood is performed at the Styrian GAULHOFER works during the whole production process. Only a few manufacturers offer such in-house drying. But this is the only way to guarantee real GAULHOFER quality.

NATURELINETHE BENEFITS OF GAULHOFER NATURELINE AT A GLANCE:

• High altitude winter-felled wood from sustainable forests.

• UW peak values of 0.66 W/m2K.

• Large selection of paints and glazes.

• Unique manufacturing quality.

• Installation depths of 78 mm or 92 mm.

SEALED TIGHT The manually pressed and smoothed GAULHOF wet-sealing with UV-resistant GAULHOFER silicone keeps the glass connection tightly and permanently sealed. Contrary to the usual dry glazing, the wood is protected against un-controlled ingress of humidity for a long time. Thus, the glass edge is separated from the cold outdoor climate almost completely.

WARMThermally optimized glass spacers Thermostop® (standard) or Thermostop®Plus (optional) improve the heat insulation of the glass edge and prevent formation of condensate.

PROTECTEDWith the sophisticated inner glazed GAULHOFER windows, the glasses are outward-protected by a massive glass rabbet made of the corres-ponding wing material. Thus, the glass edge is separated from the cold outdoor climate almost completely.

COMFORTABLEThe sophisticated GAULHOFER Audiostop® provides three surrounding seals. The central seal is perfectly positioned with regard to the 10-degree isothermal curve so that the cold outdoor climate is efficiently separated from the warm and humid indoor climate. This pre-vents the annoying formation of condensate in the rebate zone. A further benefit for increased heat insulation.

COZYAn exclusive GAULHOFER innovation: the Dampfstop® prevents ingress of wet room air into the glass rebate. The glass system remains dry and the wing wood maintains its beauty. An invisible life insurance for your window.

LESS IS MORE!INLINE: A NEW GENERATION OF COMPLETELY FLUSH WOOD-ALUMINUM WINDOWS.

With our new INLINE product line, we present a flush interior and exterior wood-aluminum window with a highly sought after slim profile combined with first class quality and thermal performance. A top UW-value of 0.67 W/m2K ensures the highest thermal performance. The ultra-slim sash is separated from the frame by a precise connection joint. This is what elegance in window construction looks like! With its new INLINE products, GAULHOFER offers a new generation of flush design windows.

INLINE’S ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE.• Highly sought after slim design profile

with flush interior and exterior design.

• Top performing thermal values: UW-values up to 0.67 W/m2K.

• 91 mm construction depth with standard triple glazing.

• Technologically advanced design with proprietary insulating performance at the glass joint.

SECURE & AIR-TIGHT GAULHOFER GLAZING FROM THE OUTSIDE. With INLINE, GAULHOFER presents another design window glazed from the outside after GLASSLINE. Contrary to conventional pro-ducts with a similar construction, INLINE’s exclusive GAULHOFER construction also safely supports the third glass pane, which comes standard; the circumferential glazing seal creates a thermally clean solution in this sensitive area. INLINE’s glass and frame are fixed all-round. This improves stability, thermal insulation and soundproofing, burglary protection and functioning of the window for its entire lifespan considerably.With INLINE, GAULHOFER shows how glazing from the outside is done.

GLASSLINE

THE SLIMDESIGN LINE.THE DESIGN WINDOW WITHOUT VISIBLE SASH FRAME – AND WITHOUT COMPROMISING HEAT INSULATION.

Lots of glass in a super slim frame: that’s the essence of GAULHOFER’s GLASSLINE. Its technologically innovative cutting-edge design does away with the conventional window sash and blends nearly seamlessly into the façade. Combine triple pane glazing and the GLASSLINE product line exceeds Passive House thermal performance requirements. GAULHOFER’s GLASSLINE will allow you to show off more of your views, bring in more natural light, with less of a visible frame. The larger glass surface area brings in 20 % more natural light while still reducing your monthly heating bills.

THE BENEFITS OF GAULHOFER GLASSLINE AT A GLANCE:

• Frameless design with MULTICOMPONENT-PRO technology.

• More light and heat thanks to larger glass surfaces.

• Design versions PURE or SOFT.

• Installation depth: 86 mm.

MORE GLASS THROUGH MULTICOM- PONENT-PRO- TECHNOLOGY. It would be hard to imagine modern aircraft construction and automotive engineering without the revolu-tionary possibilities provided by cutting-edge gluing technologies. GAULHOFER was the first company to apply these high-tech methods to window and door construction. Using MULTICOMPONENT-PRO technology the glass is directly and permanently glued to the window casement, guaranteeing a reliable, 100% secure and permanently supporting glass-frame composite. The additional insulation of glued joint and glass also results in ex-traordinary frame insulation values. The GLASSLINE sash frames allow for super-slim designs, an appearance without sash frame, and signifi-cantly increased glass areas.

PowerDur instead of steel in the blind frame

POWERDUR.STRONG WITHOUT STEEL!NO MORETHERMAL BRIDGES.With the new ENERGYLINE, GAULHOFER presents its Plastics product range without steel reinforcement in all systems – both in the blind frame and in the wing! The particularly developed highly stable Power-Dur glass fibre reinforcement is a real high-tech innovation and makes the thermally disadvantageous steel reinforcements obsolete. It prevents thermal bridges and correspondingly ensures significantly improved insulation properties, increased living comfort and less heating costs. Furthermore, the light-weight construction also offers several benefits.

THERMOSTOP® AND THERMOSTOP® PLUS.BEST GLASS SPACERS.Thermally optimized glass spacers – such as the standard Thermostop® or the optionally available Thermostop®Plus – improve the heat insulation of the glass edge and counteract the annoying formation of condensate on the glass.

POWERBOND. GLUED AND INSULATEDALL ROUND.The homogeneous and highly load-bearing PowerBond bonding of the glass and the sash frame ensures that the wing always maintains its structurally defined shape. Thanks to the new and force-fit connection at the edge it is both dimensionally stable and distortion-resistant to a high extent – even if compared to other bonded systems. This solution also offers several benefits for maintenance. The bonding additionally optimises heat insulation.

AUDIOSTOP®.

The accurately placed triple seal that really works. For all GAULHOFER windows.The sophisticated GAULHOFER Audiostop® keeps noise, cold, wind and rain outside, thanks to three circumferential seals. The central seal is perfectly positioned with regard to the 10-degree isothermal curve so that the cold outdoor climate is efficiently separated from the warm and humid indoor climate. This prevents the pesky formation of condensation in the rebate area. Another plus point for your window’s excellent insulation.

The better the thermal insulation your windows offer, the less energy is emitted to the outside. This is measured with the so-called U-value, the thermal transmission coefficient. The lower this coefficient is, the better are your window’s insulation characteristics.For you, the really significant value is the one showing you the window’s overall performance. This value is the UW-value. It is composed of several partial values: the Ug-value which solely refers to the glass, the Uf-value for the frame and the PSI-value for the glass edge.

By the way: All compound windows have a UW-value of roughly 3.0 W/m2K and windows with insulation glazing achieve between 2.8 and 3.0 W/m2K. GAULHOFER’s energy saver ENERGYLINE PLUS achieves 0.59 W/m2K.

UW-value: thermal insulation value of the entire window(“w” for “window”)Ug-value: thermal insulation value of the glass(“g” for “glass”)Uf-value: thermal insulation value of the frame(“f” for “frame”)

THERMAL INSULATION (U-VALUES).

WHAT OUR VALUES TELL YOU.

YOUR ADVANTAGE IS IN THE DETAILS.

A window’s noise insulation characteristics are determined by measuring the difference between the sound level inside and the one outside and is expressed in dB (decibel). If, for example, a car passes in front of your window and emits 100 dB of sound and you only hear 65 dB, your win-dow has a sound insulation value RW of 35 dB. The higher a window’s RW-value, the better its noise insulation.

By the way: Noise insulation windows score points with the thickness of the glass. Thanks to GAULHOFER windows’ generous construction depth, we are able to offer perfect noise insulation for practically all elements without making compromises in terms of thermal insulation.

NOISE INSULATION (R-VALUES).

ADDED VALUES.

Incoming radiation is measured by the level of solar energy present outside and expressed in the g-value. The higher a window’s transmittance in %, the more energy you can bring into your house through the windows. The optical transmittance value TL shows how many percent of the light energy present in the house’s proximity can pass to

the interior. The higher the TL-value, the brighter the inside of your house.

By the way: GAULHOFER offers the same level of sunlight protection as solar glasses. You can choose to increase or lower the g – and TL-values to suit your personal needs.

Wet sealing

Durably leak-proof.

DAMPFSTOP®.

Window life insurance – take two.For wood and wood-aluminum windows.The sophisticated, durable sealing of the glazing bead to the sash is an exclusive GAULHOFER innovation: the Dampfstop® prevents damp ambient air (water vapour) from getting into the glass fold from the humid indoor climate. An invisible yet indispensable construction detail: the glass system remains dry and the sash wood, beautiful. You will first notice this life insurance for glass, frame and surface coating when you realise you haven’t noticed any impairments after years. With Dampfstop®. Without Dampfstop®.

WET SEALING.

Window life insurance – take one.For wood and wood-aluminum windows.The sophisticated manually pressed and hand-smoothed wet-sealing made from UV-resistant GAULHOFER silicone keeps the glass connection tightly and permanently sealed. At GAULHOFER, this invisible window ‘life insu-rance’ – unlike conventional dry glazing – safely and sustainably prevents damp from getting into the wood.

RENOVATION

Statistics don’t lie. House and apartment break-

ins are on the rise once again. In 2013, break-

ins reached double-digit percentages.

4 TIMES THE BURGLARY PROTECTION.WITH GAULHOFER’S 4-POINT LOCKING SYSTEM.

4 INTERESTING FACTS: • In more than 80 % of cases, burglars force their way in through prying open windows and glazed doors on patios or balconies.

• In some 70 % of cases, a simple screwdriver was used for this.

• Only about 12 % of burglars choose the entrance door to break in.

• Window glass is broken in only 6 % of all cases in order to open the window and get into the home.

GAULHOFER’s 4-point-security provides the appropri-

ate answer to these facts for it significantly impedes

the most “popular” method of breaking in. Prying

open the window becomes 4 times as difficult.

GAULHOFER windows equipped with GAULHOFER’S

4-point-security system feature ADDITIONAL 4 pin

locks made from special steel. These interlock with

strong locking parts made of high-tensile casting.

Each locking part is triple-bolted into the cover

frame. In case of 2-leafed casement windows, two

additional locks secure the leaves in the casement

area.

4 TIMES MORE SECURE!

BEAUTIFUL SAVINGS. WITH NEW GAULHOFER WINDOWS FOR YOUR OLD HOUSE.

New energy-efficient windows are the most important element when refurbishing the house. They only make up for 8 % of the buildings outer shell, but old windows are also responsible for up to 40 % of the annual energy consumption of a house. Replacing the windows will save energy and money – for many years. That is why it is of utmost importance to focus on good quality – both with the windows and with their installation. Even the slightest inaccuracies during installation will have massive negative effects on energy efficiency and may also damage your window or its structural environment in the long term. Your professional GAULHOFER partner guarantees quick, clean and professional installation.

Energy efficiency and res-ponsible use of resources – for instance through closed utilisation cycles – are being put into practice in all areas at GAULHOFER: from materials to production to product quality.

HISTORY.FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS, QUALITY HAS BEEN IN GAULHOFER’S DNA.GAULHOFER has been manufacturing windows for more than 90 years. The company was founded in 1919 by Karl Gaulhofer while the proper beginning of industrial window pro-duction took place in 1963 when it entered the market of producing so-called standard windows.

In the 1970s, GAULHOFER introduced the first natural wood windows to the market. Soon afterwards, in 1978, efforts to establish a distribution network in Germany began. Today, GAULHOFER quality is being delivered as far as Russia and Canada. In order to directly cater to the growing market of PVC windows, GAULHOFER opened a production facility in Mäder (Vorarlberg province).

In the mid-1990s, GAULHOFER was the first company to offer wood-aluminum windows for private customers and since the year 2000, GAULHOFER ranks among Europe’s lar-gest suppliers. In 2005, GAULHOFER adapted the advantages of the bonding technology commonly used in the automotive and aeronautic industries to windows which led to the birth of GLASSLINE, the model without a sash frame.

In 2011, GAULHOFER presented VISIONLINE: A new, frameless all-glass system that properly insulates and seals. Until 2013, the entire GAULHOFER range executed in wood, wood-aluminum, uPVC and uPVC-aluminum was renewed.

The end of 2014 / beginning of 2015 saw the introduction of GAULHOFER INLINE – a new generation of windows with matured construction physics completely flush both on the inside and outside.
