YOU DON'T CHOOSE THE PRODUCT.

We specify the solution.

There isn't one glazing system that's right for every project. We consider the architecture, opening size, sightlines, glass, thermal performance, solar gain, thresholds, structure, budget and installation conditions before selecting the most appropriate solution.

You tell us what matters. We specify what works.

A CLEARER WAY TO COMPARE

Three ways to approach the specification.

These are starting points, not fixed packages. The right specification depends on the opening, architecture, performance requirements and budget.

01 / ESSENTIAL

Considered and practical.

A well-resolved solution focused on the key requirements of the project, with carefully selected options and finishes.

  • Core configurations and finishes
  • Performance matched to the brief
  • Clear, practical detailing

02 / PREMIUM

More design freedom.

For projects where sightlines, large openings, refined thresholds or additional finish choices are central to the outcome.

  • Broader design and configuration options
  • Closer attention to sightlines and junctions
  • Specification tailored to the architecture

03 / BESPOKE

Designed around the opening.

For unusual dimensions, complex interfaces or projects where a standard solution does not meet the design intent.

  • Project-specific design development
  • Coordination with the wider build team
  • Detailed review before ordering

Product availability and achievable performance vary by system and configuration. We confirm the appropriate options against the project requirements before specification.

WHY RÄHMEN

Five reasons to choose RÄHMEN.

01

Specified, not sold.

We aren't tied to one glazing system. We select the right solution for the project.

02

Architecturally led.

We understand the building around the opening, not just the opening itself.

03

One point of accountability.

Specification, supply, installation and inspection under one roof.

04

Detail matters.

Sightlines, thresholds, junctions, glass and proportions are considered before anything is ordered.

05

We stay involved.

Our responsibility doesn't end when the doors arrive on site.

TECHNICAL CONFIDENCE

Beautiful isn't enough. It has to perform.

Every project is specified around the performance the building requires.

Thermal performanceSpecify glazing to support comfortable internal temperatures year-round.
Solar controlConsider heat, glare and solar gain for the intended orientation.
SecurityChoose appropriate secure systems and locking options.
Weather resistanceMatch system performance to exposure and project conditions.
Acoustic performanceConsider glass build-up and noise reduction requirements.
Thresholds & detailingResolve thresholds and junctions for a clean, considered transition.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We stand behind the result.

Every RÄHMEN installation includes manufacturer warranties, professional installation and a RÄHMEN-backed warranty package. Our responsibility doesn't end when the doors are installed.
