Winhoff — Trusted Fenestration
Wide lift-and-slide glazing opened onto a timber terrace with hills beyond

Frame a better view.

Precision-crafted aluminum windows, doors and architectural glazing systems. European engineering, applied to Canadian performance requirements.

(01)Trusted fenestration

Every Winhoff system starts with aluminum strong enough for slender frames and large glass — then it's finished by hand with precision in every detail.

(03)GS142 · Lift & slide

Open up the possibilities.

Seamless living, inside and out — made possible by a system that lifts heavy glass before it moves. Scroll to operate the model.

Moving sash — lifts, then slidesFixed panelSeals and track on the sillGS142 is catalogued for moving sashes up to 500 kg and fixed sashes up to 1000 kg. Operation illustration: the lift is exaggerated so it can be seen; not an engineering simulation.
  1. Corner glazing in an open-plan living space

    01 — Lift

    Expansive views

    Turn the handle and the sash rises off its seals. GS142 handles moving sashes up to 500 kg — and fixed sashes up to 1000 kg — so one opening can span much of a wall.

  2. Lift-and-slide hardware at the sill

    02 — Slide

    Effortless movement

    Lifted clear of the seals, the heavy sash glides along its track instead of dragging across them.

  3. Sliding glazing opening to an exterior deck

    03 — Lower

    A closer connection outdoors

    Turn the handle back and the sash settles onto its seals. Monorail, multirail, double or triple tracks and a pocket solution let the glass disappear the way the plan needs.

(04)Precision in every detail

Precision, made visible.

Take a thermally broken frame apart. Turn it, separate the layers, switch between double and triple glazing — and see why the break matters.

(06)Applications

Designed for the way a space opens.

01 — GC74

A statement entrance.

Pivot doors turn on an axis set in from the jamb, so very wide, very tall leaves swing with surprising ease. Double-action doors swing both ways.

02 — Curtain walls

Transparency at façade scale.

GF60, GF50 and the hidden-vent GF60HV form continuous glazed façades with thermal-break engineering and a transom drainage approach.

03 — Glass railings

Nothing between you and the view.

GCR60 and GCR100 hold frameless 17.52 mm or 21.52 mm tempered laminated glass in a base channel — left exposed, or with GCR100, set below the finished floor.

(08)Precision in every detail

Craftsmanship behind the frame.

Winhoff fabricates aluminum systems by combining advanced machinery with skilled hand finishing — European engineering applied to Canadian performance requirements.

Certificate reproduced in the catalogue: authorized-fabricator status for Fenspro systems in Ontario, as stated on it — not a certification of every product.
