GEALAN-KONTUR®
The premium system with aluminium option
State-of-the-art PVC windows made of premium profiles
As a PVC profile system, GEALAN-KONTUR® not only offers state-of-the-art design language for new windows, but also a wide range of surface design options. In addition to classic surfaces and an extensive range of films, the GEALAN-acrylcolor® PMMA finish is also available. The advantages of the proven surface technology are currently being prepared for the GEALAN-KONTUR® system and will be available in 2024.
GEALAN-KONTUR® also enables trendy aluminium design of windows and doors through the use of matching facing shells - and this in an extremely wide colour palette of the RAL colour range.
Elegant. Robust. Versatile
GEALAN-KONTUR® is the all-rounder among modern PVC profile systems.
Due to the simple and clear design language outside and inside, the system sets real accents in terms of window design. Narrow face widths and a maximum proportion of glass also provide more light in the rooms.
Otherwise, there is a lot of safety and stability in the slim profiles! Optionally with two materials that complement each other perfectly: proven PVC with its multi-chamber system ensures the best thermal insulation, trendy aluminium offers a strikingly modern look and additional protection against weather influences.
Thanks to its installation depth of 82.5 mm, GEALAN-KONTUR® is suitable for new construction projects as well as in the renovation sector.
Modern all-rounder GEALAN-KONTUR®
Design
Simple and clear design language outside and inside. Narrow face widths ensure more light due to maximum glass content in the window
Versatility
Variety in appearance, colour design, surfaces: GEALAN-KONTUR® offers a high degree of design freedom with and without aluminium cladding
Automatability
GEALAN-KONTUR® is prepared for automated processing at the manufacturer. This means that the profiles are designed for modern production lines as well as for automated processing in the field of adhesive technology.
Performance
Thanks to an innovative system design, the 82.5 mm centre seal system achieves top performance in sound and thermal insulation as well as in statics.
Burglary protection
Fixed center seal bar increases burglary protection, additional stability through reinforcements within the entire system design and the use of adhesive technology
Other features
- 82.5 mm installation depth in frame and sash
- 3 sealing levels for optimum thermal insulation
- Glass thicknesses of up to 56/66 mm
- 4° Inclination in rollover
- Frame spine suitable for existing 82.5 mm platform
- Extremely cleaning-optimized frame rebate
GEALAN KONTUR:® Design meets function
Here, all cogs mesh perfectly: A fixed center seal dome provides increased protection during burglary attempts. For particularly good tightness and thermal insulation, the GEALAN-KONTUR® profile system is equipped with three sealing levels throughout. GEALAN-KONTUR® thus meets all requirements for a high-end profile system with an installation depth of 82.5 mm.

Burglary protection taken into account at the same time
Particularly safe thanks to fixed center seal dome
Windows, balcony and patio doors are actually weak points of a building envelope. There are always good opportunities for burglars to get into an apartment. Therefore, it is immensely important to protect these areas optimally and to consider comprehensive burglary protection.
The new premium system from GEALAN already puts an extra stop to this - because the sophisticated profile geometry of GEALAN-KONTUR® is stable and difficult to crack. In most burglaries, the windows are levered out by the intruder inserting a screwdriver between the frame and the wing.
At the fixed center seal dome from GEALAN-KONTUR®, burglar tools encounter an effective barrier in the profile.
Play it safe with the GEALAN all-rounder in the 82.5 mm segment: The profile geometry of GEALAN-KONTUR® has been specifically optimised for burglary protection. Reinforced profile bars at important points of attack support the overall concept.
Optimized thermal insulation
Here, the heat stays exactly where it should stay: With profiles from the GEALAN KONTUR® system, reliable insulation works without any additional measures - even with high static requirements.
GEALAN KONTUR® profiles achieve a tested Uf value of 1.0 W/(m²K). Three sealing levels throughout enable optimum tightness in the system, while the central seal level ensures an interruption of the heat flow.
In this way, the premium system ensures that in the icy winter the cold remains outside and the cosy warmth remains within the four walls.
Excellent sound insulation
The noise must stay outside
Windows are the most vulnerable components of a building when it comes to noise pollution from outside. In order to maintain health and well-being in the long term, the window system plays a decisive role. Deep construction profiles, which support multiple glazing and have completely closing seals, cut off the living and working spaces from polluting sources of noise from the outside.
The all-rounder GEALAN-KONTUR® can accommodate acoustic insulation glass with a glass thickness of up to 56 mm. If special aluminium shell sashes are used, even glass thicknesses of 66 mm can be achieved.
The perception of noise is different for every person. From a nightly continuous sound level of more than 45 decibels due to road or rail traffic noise, sleep is severely disturbed. Such a noise level is comparable to quiet radio tones or quiet conversation scenes. Noise levels that consistently exceed 60 decibels can permanently affect your health. Such a level is given, for example, when the TV is running at normal room volume. Therefore, windows with sound-absorbing properties, such as those made possible by GEALAN-KONTUR®, are a valuable contribution to a healthy lifestyle.
Well glued is doubly stable
Various bonding techniques can be used to process the GEALAN-KONTUR® system. On the one hand, the STV® (static dry glazing) developed by GEALAN, on the other hand, GEALAN-KONTUR® can also be wet glued.
Advantages of glued elements:
- Larger windows with even more glass content are possible
- In some cases, the use of stabilizing steel can be dispensed with
- Maintenance effort is reduced
Wet bonding offers further possibilities:
- Burglary protection up to RC 3 is feasible
- Bonding can be done automatically in window production
Automation in manufacturing
The GEALAN-KONTUR® profile system not only offers the window customer function and design, but is also taken into account by the processor for the step beforehand. A wide variety of production techniques can be automated in production, GEALAN-KONTUR® offers, for example:
-
The possibility of automatically notching the frame for the outer and inner construction connection
-
The central seal in the sash is also optimized for optional, mechanical feeding
-
A flat sash rebate for automation of wet bonding
-
A flat frame rebate for automation in fixed glazing
GEALAN-KONTUR® is also designed for automated processing in the field of adhesive technology. The universal sash rebate allows either the classic block of the glass, the bonding of the glass with STV® or wet bonding.
For special requirements
Robust aluminium finish
GEALAN KONTUR® PVC profiles are optimised to be combined with various aluminium facing shells. In this way, the GEALAN system further expands its design freedom.
Visually, the modern aluminium look on the outside of the window underlines the architectural trend towards straight, angular window design.
In addition, the aluminium shells are not only strikingly chic, but also extremely weather-resistant.
A special feature of the GEALAN KONTUR® system that enables even more design variants: it contains a wing profile that can only be combined with aluminium shells. This reduces view and rollover widths.
The colour scheme with the wide range of RAL colours and special aluminium colours can be tailored to your personal taste, inside and out.
[Facing shells offer a wide variety of variations in RAL colours]
Colouring in the S 9000 system
GEALAN offers a wide range of options for bringing colour to PVC windows. One of them is the proven surface technology GEALAN-acrylcolor®. The coloured acrylic layer is scratch-resistant, weather resistant and easy-care. That means that window systems with GEALAN-acrylcolor® meet the highest technical and functional demands for innovative, coloured surfaces.
There are also a wealth of options for creating coloured window and door profiles with GEALAN’s extensive range of decorative foils. The standard range offers a wide spectrum of colours. Additional tones and textures are available upon request on a property-related basis.
