ARTEVO is here. The next generation of the successful GENEO profile system decisively develops the performance of the glass fibre-reinforced solution in every respect. The result is a revolutionary window system at premium level that opens up new dimensions for window professionals - along the entire value chain and on the basis of a completely closed circular economy.

"The commitment to innovation and progress inspires and motivates the specialists at REHAU Window Solutions every day to create ever better solutions together with and for our customers and partners. ARTEVO is now the substrate of all this passion and a real quantum leap for the industry towards the next sustainable generation of windows. The premium system with its 360° performance promise impressively demonstrates how REHAU Window Solutions, in close dialogue with the industry, is in fact offering new attractive options for global markets as well as for CO₂ and energy efficiency," says Carsten Heuer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) REHAU Window Solutions.

The new ARTEVO window system is the consistent further development of GENEO RAU-FIPRO-X and the stable foundation for additional attractive options. The proven RAU-FIPRO X material opens up new dimensions in sash and window dimensions, largely without steel reinforcements. Clear contours and low overhangs make the profile design modern and attractive for architects and building owners. On this basis, together with the system accessories, smart products, digital services and practised sustainability, individual success models are created for window professionals.

Simply ARTEVO: 360° more performance with maximum efficient use of resources

The premium system is the result of the unique material and window expertise of REHAU Window Solutions and sets new standards: maximum performance in every respect with minimum use of resources. ARTEVO is therefore sustainable in two senses: ecologically and economically.

"ARTEVO shows how we increase the performance of our systems extraordinarily and consistently develop them further together with our partners in their interest. The system is oriented towards their needs across the entire value chain. ARTEVO offers unique selling points for all window applications in new construction and renovation as well as in residential and commercial construction. The premium system also integrates solutions such as Smart Privacy Glass for privacy protection or Window.ID, which makes all processes from production to the end of life significantly more transparent and thus more efficient. This creates even more intensive customer loyalty. We follow our promise 'Create Difference. Grow Business.' and secure attractive additional business for our partners," says Frank Zimmermann, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) REHAU Window Solutions.

Simply ARTEVO: 360° sustainability in action.

The consistently sustainable approach ensures the highest possible degree of future-proofing. Features such as

the passive house certified energy efficiency by means of the innovative LowE technology integrated into the profiles at the factory,
the avoidance of foams to improve thermal insulation, the extensive avoidance of reinforcements,
the use of recycled materials and the integration into a completely closed-loop economy, and
transparency through window tracking by means of Window.ID

demonstrate sustainability in all its facets.

The symbol for this is EcoPuls. On the one hand, the label is an excellent translation of sustainability to customer loyalty for window professionals and, on the other hand, for REHAU Window Solutions, a commitment to its own attitudes and commitments at the same time. For sustainability. For a sense of responsibility. For consistency. REHAU Window Solutions has proven this a million times over for many years in numerous products. EcoPuls is the proof of the use of forward-looking recycling management. Recycled materials ensure the highest possible sustainability in the series. Completely from one source and in all REHAU systems: GENEO, RAU-FIPRO X, GENEO, INOVENT, SYNEGO Brilliant-Design, Euro-Design EcoPuls. SLINOVA and SLINOVA X are also fully integrated into this circuit - and ARTEVO from now on as well.

With ARTEVO, REHAU Window Solutions demonstrates its innovative strength and provides its partners with a unique toolbox full of customisable options to clearly position and distinguish itself in the market. ARTEVO offers the decisive advantage at every point of the value chain. Also through marketing and communication.

Simply ARTEVO: 360° customised marketing services.

"ARTEVO's 360° performance promise includes B2C and B2B marketing services such as brochures, banners, roll-ups, videos, social media snippets, academy lectures and much more. Window professionals thus create unique brand experiences at a premium level. The result is an always individualised and sales-promoting customer experience with variable options through simple and efficient solutions. ARTEVO creates trust and is good for business. It has never been so easy to be successful", says Peter Kotzur, Director Marketing REHAU Window Solutions.

With ARTEVO, REHAU Window Solutions is once again showing the markets a system solution that translates global megatrends such as sustainability, digitalisation or urbanisation into sustainable business models. "With ARTEVO, REHAU Window Solutions is taking responsibility for future generations and for our business partners.

All in the spirit of success for our partners and for new options for the future: 'Create Difference. Grow Business'," says Carsten Heuer.

ARTEVO Espresso: Highlights and details at a glance.

Visionary

Unique material and technology competence based on RAU-FIPRO X for more performance with the most efficient use of resources.
360° system with a multitude of individual added values.
Larger sashes also possible without reinforcements.
Maximum sizes up to 2.80 metres sash height for white and coloured windows.
Wide range of applications for functional glass.

Inspirational

Design windows with symmetrical contours: clear, angular and cubic.
Particularly narrow views enlarge the glass surfaces and open up new architectural possibilities with a maximum of natural light.
Extremely slender overhangs on the outside with small radii and low angular inclination.
The flush window sash ensures a uniform and closed appearance, functionally it extends the maximum pane thickness to 72 mm.
Extremely slim sash makes sash heights of up to 2.60 m feasible.
KALEIDO COLOR surface and colour range with more than 2000 design options - freely combinable inside and outside in wood or aluminium look, with foiling, lacquering or aluminium facing shells.

Productive

Universal reinforcement for sashes including secondary sash, frame, secondary sash profile and dummy mullion optimise stock-keeping and effort in production.
Maximum efficiency in steel processing: window elements without steel reinforcement are up to 40% lighter than classic PVC windows.
Easy bonding: The lower height of the glazing bead base facilitates the insertion of the bonding nozzle.
Machining of the sash reinforcements is not necessary. This ensures a faster throughput time when drilling the handle film, less wear and tear and thus a longer tool life. Steel chips are eliminated.

Innovative

Integration of the high-performance material RAU-FIPRO X in the entire profile cross-section ensures absolutely even and reliable load transfer.
Force zones in the outer walls bring top values in performance and stability.
Revolutionary LowE foil reduces heat radiation to 5 % and prevents convection in the chambers. This results in Uf values of up to 0.81 W/m²K.
Peak value in sound insulation: up to 48 dB.
Sensible add-ons such as the REHAU RAUCERO floor-level threshold or the LINEA handle programme offer attractive additional business.

Unique

80 mm: Common system platform with REHAU SYNEGO AD and MD.
One glazing bead for all: Identical glazing beads in the frame as well as in the sash. These are also identical to those of SYNEGO AD and SYNEGO MD.
Additional profiles and bottom sills are identical for all systems.
Slim centre section with 118 mm in the narrowest version and 156 mm as standard.
Glazing with optimised sound and thermal insulation values: Glazing with a thickness of up to 56 mm can be used in the flush-mounted sash and in the frame, and 72 mm pane thickness is now possible in the flush-mounted sash.

Sustainable

REHAU profiles already contain a recycled content of up to 75 %. ARTEVO now also contains recyclates in the glazing beads for the first time.
ARTEVO max: Energy efficiency in perfection. The product variant with LowE foil is the uniquely sustainable solution for passive house certified elements.
Recyclable LowE film in ARTEVO max can be easily recycled together with the existing window. The materials thus always remain in the cycle.
Transparency with Window.ID: Window tracking ensures efficiency along the entire value chain and ensures the return to the cycle.
