MINIMAL FRAME
Manolitsis Elias - Aluminium Constructions | Lefkada
EUROPA's MINIMAL FRAME is a pioneer in the sliding systems category, through its design philosophy. Its multitude of applications make it ideal for residential and hotel buildings, combining straight lines with the smallest possible visible 25mm aluminium frame, "carving out" new horizons.
It offers typologies for architectural constructions of high demands and specifications, suitable for very large openings, ensuring unobstructed views, ample light and unhindered movement to the exterior or interior. The system is completed by high performance in thermal insulation, sound reduction and waterproofing and impeccable functionality in every construction solution.
MINIMAL FRAME is prescribed in projects of high construction and design value, with the aim of giving the prestige of a system that marries the interior and exterior, connects man with the environment and frees human creativity.

The new Europa Minimal Frame system received the highest recognition with the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2022 in the Interior Design Elements category and is now among the prestigious and superior design products, with the highest level of innovation, functionality and longevity, with the Red Dot seal. The Red Dot awards are the highest distinction and certify the design superiority of the Minimal Frame system.

The system is available in four (4) different versions of underfloor installation, with the option of total coverage of the lower guide with the floor material.
Additionally, the option of either fully embedding the perimeter frame or a partially visible frame from 25 - 30mm is given.
The visible vertical profile in the middle of the overlapping structures has the smallest possible visible surface of 25mm, maintaining its static adequacy in large openings, while when a combination of fixed sections with movable leaves is required, a column with a visible side of only 30mm is used, maintaining the thin lines of the overall structure

The ΜΙΝΙΜAL FRAME is characterized by:
 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 Freedom of movement, unobstructed view and light thanks to thin-section profiles. |
| High levels of thermal insulation using 28mm polyamides and sound reduction through the possibility of using triple glazing up to 42mm. |
| Multiple construction solutions through: |
| - four (4) different construction typologies |
| - two (2) glass leaf options on the locking side with integrated handle or with additional |
| - possibility of choosing a sink using a grid or a 15mm gap |
| Smooth and easy leaf movement: |
| - The moving leaves have two parallel stainless steel rails at the bottom, which slide on a double array of 24mm diameter stainless steel rollers on the bottom guide, with a static load capacity of up to 230kg per roller. |
| Easy replacement or maintenance of the rolling system, without requiring the sash to be lifted or removed from the guide |
| Absolute waterproofing through: |
| - Rubber seals made of EPD material |
| - Water collection and channeling system to the building's sewage network |
| Increased security through the option of a Multi-Locking Mechanism. Possibility to choose between different types of locking mechanism and handle, providing the advantage of easy installation and replacement |
| Safety from annoying insects through the possibility of installing a hidden screen of superior aesthetics, with Plisse-type cloth or vertical with motor. |
