GIESSE has introduced a new class of window on the market. Described as a revolution in window design, Essenza is a full-glazed window offering uninterrupted views as there is no internal frame.

“Essenza removes all visible structural elements and allows glass to be what it should be – transparent,” says a spokesman for Giesse. “It makes a strong architectural statement by enhancing the impact of the external landscape, thus creating new opportunities in architecture. The full-glass concept with its minimal structural detailing offers new options to interior design as well.”

Essenza is conceived as a window for external walls, but its refinement and insulation characteristics are said to make it ideal for interiors as well. “This is why Essenza is a horizontal slider, with all the superior conveniences, advantages and functionality of this product type compared to casement windows, without any of their disadvantages.”

The superiority of the product is evident at first glance with its outstanding styling, whether open or closed, for the most ambitious design concepts, he says. The sliders offer functionality and space-saving advantages and there are no sharp corners when the window is open. “Its performance is certified to the highest standards, in line with a top-quality casement window or terrace door,” he says.

Essenza is rated Class 4 for air infiltration, with up to 2,000 Pa for wind resistance and 900 Pa for water-tightness.

“This puts Essenza at the top of available windows performance as it surpasses in one stroke the traditional advantages of casement windows,” the spokesman asserts. “It also provides thermal insulation at the top of the range, and glass soundproofing of 40 dB. This makes Essenza ideal for designs in which comfort and privacy are primary requirements. It is thus ideally suited to hotels, wellness centres and office buildings as well as prestigious residential installations.”

The new Giesse product also ensures top security for the premises. “Not only does it offer some of the highest levels of security, Essenza can be equipped with locks and lift-proofing to further enhance its resistance to break-ins. For a genuine intrusion-proof installation, it can also be equipped with laminated glass,” he says.

“Essenza is the ideal window for exteriors and interiors, wherever unbeatable design and technical performance are required as in elegant homes, wellness centres, and luxury hotels. Essenza is the evolutionary masterpiece for external windows and divider for rooms with different climatic requirements,” he concludes.
