Provence Thermal Break Compression Sliding Window is designed with the highest standards of quality and innovation. Made from 6063-T5 aluminum with a primary profile wall thickness of 1.8mm, it offers exceptional strength and durability. Available in various styles, including floor-to-ceiling, fixed bottom, dual-opening, and center-fixed with movable sashes, it provides a wide range of options for different spaces. The window features a thermal break design and is equipped with double-insulated Low-E glass (5G+9A+5G+9A+5G), achieving a heat transfer coefficient (Kw) as low as 3.2 W/m².K and sound insulation up to GB4-36dB. Multiple sealing layers ensure airtight performance up to GB7, while the multi-point locking system and stepped external drainage design deliver superior water tightness, reaching GB5 standards.

The window’s reinforced structure can withstand wind pressure up to GB9-5KPa, with a standard sample size of 2600mm x 2000mm and a maximum sash width of 1000mm. Its hardware supports a load of up to 200kg, enabling large openings up to 2200mm wide. The unique parallel sliding and compression mechanism combines the advantages of sliding and casement windows, enhancing sealing performance. An optional damper prevents sash collision during closing and integrated shading solutions, such as manual or electric roller blinds and solar-powered blinds. The sloped side frame cover accentuates the sleek, metallic surface, while the uniform narrow border creates a sophisticated, minimalist appearance. The thermal break design supports dual-color configurations for interior and exterior surfaces. The reinforced vertical mullion and stepped drainage system improve wind resistance and overall stability, while the design allows for high sealing and large openings, combining the benefits of sliding and casement windows without occupying indoor space.

Safety is prioritized with a flush frame and sash design that minimizes the risk of accidents, and optional dampers to prevent injury from forceful closures. The sliding mechanism offers a large opening area, making it ideal for rooms with curtains or limited space, while optional electric roller blinds enhance user convenience with remote control functionality. The thermal break and high-performance glass reduce energy consumption, supporting sustainability efforts. The durable construction minimizes the need for frequent repairs or replacements, conserving materials and resources.
