UtraSlim High-Performance Systems: Ultrathin Frames Meet Internal Suspended Membrane Technology
Achieving ultra-low U-values of < 0.5 W/m²·K using Honeywell technology and aviation-grade aluminium. Realising massive spans and minimalist aesthetics without compromising thermal performance.
The Perfect Balance: Minimalist Aesthetics & Passive House Performance
For modern architects, there has long been a difficult trade-off: pursue the limitless view of frameless design, or adhere to top-tier thermal insulation? Traditional triple-glazed systems, due to their immense weight, rely on bulky frames for support, inevitably disrupting visual continuity.
The ULTRASLIM system resolves this engineering paradox. By combining core technology from Honeywell with precision-machined aviation-grade aluminium, we provide an uncompromising fenestration solution for Net Zero Energy buildings and luxury residential projects—delivering both razor-thin sightlines and rigorous thermal control.
Core Technology: How Internal Suspended Membrane Outperforms Triple Glazing
The core advantage of the ULTRASLIM system lies in abandoning the heavy stacking of multiple glass layers. Instead of a third or fourth pane of glass, we utilise Internal Suspended Membrane technology.
We suspend an ultra-thin, high-transmittance PET film inside the insulating glass unit. This design creates multiple independent thermal chambers within the glass without adding the dead load of extra glass panes
Thermal Leap: Achieves insulation levels comparable to quad or even quintuple glazing. U-values can drop to 0.5 W/m²·K or lower, fully meeting strict Passive House standards and the Australian NCCS 7-Star energy efficiency requirements.
Eliminating the weight of extra glass layers significantly reduces the dead load on hardware. This makes ultra-large opening sashes and extremely narrow face-width profiles—which are impossible with traditional heavy glass—a realit
Structural Engineering: 6060-T66 Aviation-Grade Aluminium
Minimalism without precision structural support is dangerous. To ensure stability of the ultra-narrow frames under high wind loads, we select 6060-T66 aluminium alloy, an aviation-grade material renowned for its high hardness and yield strength.
Extreme manufacturing precision ensures the frame maintains dimensional stability even under immense wind pressure (compliant with AS 2047 ULS 2000 Pa requirements), protecting the glass from compression.
The system integrates a specialised thermal break powered by Honeywell. Unlike ordinary PA66 strips, this component is designed to match the superior insulation of the suspended membrane glass, effectively eliminating the "cold bridge" effect common in traditional thermally broken aluminium and preventing frame condensation in extreme climates.
The system can be flexibly customised to meet project aesthetic demands, including:
-
High-strength Steel
-
Aluminium-clad Wood
-
Thermally Broken Aluminium
Proven in the Field: The Ultimate Experience of a 1,400kg Sash
We don't just simulate performance; we speak with field data. The ULTRASLIM system is born to handle massive architectural spans.
-
The Challenge: A single opening sash measuring 2m x 6m.
-
The Load: A total sash weight of 1,400 kg.
-
The Result: Paired with our specialised heavy-duty hardware system, it requires an operational force of only 20 kg. A single person can easily slide open this 1.4-tonne "wall of glass" with one hand.

[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]
Q: How does suspended membrane glass compare to triple glazing?
A: Suspended membrane glass (like the ULTRASLIM system) offers the thermal performance of quadruple glazing (U-values <0.5 W/m²·K) but retains the weight and thickness of standard double glazing, allowing for larger windows and slimmer frames.
Q: Is the ULTRASLIM system compliant with Australian Standard AS 2047?
A: Yes, our systems are tested to meet or exceed AS 2047 requirements for deflection, operation, and air infiltration, making them suitable for high-end Australian residential and commercial projects.
Q: Can ULTRASLIM windows support floor-to-ceiling heights?
A: Absolutely. Due to the lightweight nature of the suspended film technology and high-strength 6060-T66 aluminum, we can achieve sash heights of up to 6 meters, as demonstrated in our Qingdao Art Community project.
