Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the innovative aluminium casements developed by Giesse, emphasizing their modernity and minimalist design. The focus is on concealed hardware, which has become a standard in the industry thanks to Giesse's pioneering efforts.

Project Overview
The C.H.I.C. project, led by Product Manager Mirko Scheda, aimed to innovate by using new materials and miniaturizing components to conceal them within the profile. This required extensive testing and resulted in a range of high-performance products.

Product Range
The C.H.I.C. range includes side-hung, tilt-and-turn windows, and doors with features such as load capacities up to 150 kg, 180° opening, 3D adjustment, and micro-ventilation. These products can be combined with Giesse SKG burglar-proof hardware.

Recent Developments
In 2022, the range expanded with the C.H.I.C. Door EG and RG, designed for Euro Groove and R Groove systems. By 2025, the C.H.I.C. Door ALU16 will cater to groove 16 profiles, offering benefits like wide opening angles and robust load capacity.

Durability and Certification
Giesse's ShieldMax5 hinges are designed for extreme environments, certified to Grade 5 under EN 1670, resisting over 480 hours of salt spray. The C.H.I.C. products are certified with EPD, CE marking, and RAL certification, ensuring quality and sustainability.

Minimalist Design
The document highlights the trend towards minimalist window designs, offering optimal glass exposure and sleek aesthetics. Giesse combines its hardware with Schlegel seals and Reguitti handles to create high-performance minimalist windows.

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various C.H.I.C. products, including load capacities, dimensions, and compatibility with different systems.

Conclusion
Giesse continues to innovate in the field of aluminium casements, offering products that combine style, performance, and sustainability, meeting the evolving needs of architects and homeowners.

Mirko Scheda Product Manager The C.H.I.C. project was a challenging one on a number of levels. The technical solutions that we adopted needed to be innovative—and therefore patented—to make an impact on the market.

Finally, the most difficult challenge was to miniaturise the components and conceal them inside the profile. It hasn’t been an easy road. We carried out hundreds of tests and, as often happens, we faced various challenges that enabled us to understand and improve where necessary. The results...
