The Oltreluce Project

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011


The Oltreluce project was created to bring together contemporary design and the most advanced technology applied to residential doors and windows.

The Oltreluce line is characterised by extremely reduced dimensions for the aluminium part, which gives more space to the glass surface. This line was designed based on the “retractable casement” concept that has a single visible aluminium strip as the casement (the part of the window unit that can be opened) is hidden by the frame. By installing the window unit with special devices, it is possible to almost completely eliminate the visible aluminium. This is where the name “Oltreluce” comes from.

The real novelty of the line is that it offers a range of interior design solutions, rediscovering aluminium combined with wood purely as a decorative element to create lines which are characterised by clean stretches, without giving up a strong aesthetic impact.

Wood combined with aluminium makes an impression. The inlaid model is the concept that best interprets this stylish solution, where aluminium and wood are joined together in a single frame.

As for all aluminium-wood systems, the window unit is characterised by a bearing structure in aluminium that lends stability and decoration that is constituted by the combination of aluminium with wood.

Plastic Graphics

Pantone Matching System* (PMS) is the color specification standard for screen printing and painting of acrylic plastic.

Process color – percentages of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK) is a color specification standard for digital printing and electronic art.

Acrylic Polyurethane (MAP or Grip Gard) is a material specification standard for painting metal including aluminum.

Note:
Color matches can vary due to many factors including humidity level, viscosity of ink, different production runs and application of ink onto different substrates. The specification of a PMS color to be applied onto acrylic plastic or onto a metal surface may slightly vary when compared to the same PMS color which is printed on white coated paper stock. The compatibility of coating material with material to be coated is critical to the production of a quality sign product.
