Classic frame
Load-bearing thermally insulated window and door units
ThermoFRAME — is an assembled spatial frame that transforms windows and doors into full-fledged load-bearing facade elements. It serves as a thermally insulated interface between glazing and facade panel, ensuring precise geometry, continuity of the thermal insulation contour, and structural reliability.
Panoramic frame
Frame with offset glazing
Corner frame
Key features
• Thermal and sound insulation:
Integrated polyurethane insulation eliminates perimeter thermal bridges.
• Load-bearing function:
Construction ThermoFRAME allows for load bearing from both glazing and facade elements that perform an enclosing function without sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• Geometric precision:
Factory manufacturing ensures high dimensional accuracy and tolerances during installation.
• Structural formation of window and door nodes: Pre-frames ThermoFRAME serve as the basis for forming window and door openings, including rectangular, corner, panoramic and cantilever solutions, ensuring their load-bearing capacity and thermal insulation integrity
• Simplified installation:
Reduces the number of operations on site and lowers requirements for installer qualification.
Variants

Corner frame(internal and external corners of glazed facade]
Panoramic frame / curtain wall glazing (for doors and facades with large glazing areas]
4. Frame with offset glazing (windows protruding beyond the facade plane]

door
Technical specifications
Benefits ThermoFRAME
• Increased facade energy efficiency.
• Reduction of labor costs on the construction site.
• Reliability when installing heavy insulating glass units.
• Direct interface with other system components KARKASYS (PanelKIT, PanelCORE).
Pre-frame for window installation
For reinforced concrete
panels
ThermoFRAME RC — is a factory-made pre-frame, specially designed for installation in openings of single-layer reinforced concrete panels. It forms the precise geometry of a window or door opening and ensures the structural capacity, thermal and sound insulation, as well as complete readiness for window or door installation without additional operations on the construction site.
1 - concrete panel
2 - window
3 - pre-frame (thermal beam ThermoBEAM)
4 - drip cap
5 - window bracket
6 - drip cap plug
7 - mounting foam
8 - interior finishing
9 - basalt insulation
10 - structural sealant
Construction
• Pre-frame includes horizontal lintels and two vertical posts, made of thermal beams — closed metal profile with perforation in the form of formed "louvers", arranged in a staggered pattern, directed inward.
• The internal cavity is completely filled High-pressure PUR (density ≥50 kg/m³, σcomp = 2 MPa], which eliminates thermal bridges and increases sound insulation.
• Mounting to reinforced concrete panel is carried out using anchor bolt connections through porous rubber gaskets.
• Posts have their own load-bearing capacity, sufficient for bearing the weight of glazing, wind and operational loads.
Thermal and fire resistance
The thermal beam is protected along its entire length on all sides gaskets made of basalt board, which:
• eliminates direct metal contact
with fire,
• increases overall fire resistance
panels,
• serves as an additional layer
for thermal and sound insulation.
Ready for window and door installation
• At the factory, the pre-frame can be built-in guides, hinge seats, locks, fasteners, in case it is used as a door frame.
• Installation of windows or doors is carried out without opening modification, directly at the factory or immediately after panel installation on the construction site.
Pre-frame for
installation
doors
Geometry and formats
• Standard pre-frame sizes:
• Windows: width from 600 to 6000 mm, height from 600 to 3000 mm;
• Doors: standard 900×2100 mm (single-leaf], doubles possible;
• Post thickness: from 60×60 mm to 150×60 mm (depending on required strength];
• The pre-frame is supplied assembled with the reinforced concrete panel, ready for interior finishing installation
and additional insulation, setting its thickness and surface level.
Simplification of production and installation
• Eliminates the need for manufacturing complex embedded parts, measurements on site
and opening adjustments;
• Accuracy and repeatability are increased;
• Reduced time and costs for window and door installation;
• Building energy efficiency is increased.
