For the second time, smartwin wins by a wide margin the Component Award

The evaluation criterion was the payback of the window. For this, the investment costs were compared with the potential energy savings. The jury of experts also took into account other aspects including practicality, innovation and aesthetics each making up 20%. “smartwin compact S is the overall winner.

After achieving the best result in the category wood/aluminum windows for the Award 2014, Smartwin succeeded impressively in defending the coveted title.

The integration of a blind in the glass has been a topic for years.  To date, the blind was inextricably linked to the sealed insulated glass unit. When the blind failed, the whole sealed unit had to be changed.” Such things are not consistent with our principles “said Franz Freundorfer

The smartwin cooperation which is active in 10 countries excels with a surprisingly simple solution which is – according to the strict jury ‘brilliant and innovative’.

“We install the blind in front of the insulated glass unit and finish with a single pane of glass” says Sepp Lorber the last and new passive house window champion.
