What the market dictates

How upcoming products will meet existing requirements in 2026

​Ideally, it is customers, i.e. the market, who drive product development. More than ever, these requirements have an impact on our products. Three developments – three backgrounds.

Avario wintergarden family

From a sales perspective – why a new wintergarden?
“There are essentially only a handful of major suppliers left in the wintergarden market, and the market volume is increasing. With Avario, which features large glass elements, various designs including a flat roof look, energy efficiency and accessibility, we are addressing the key trends in the market and therefore have a good chance of sustainably increasing Solarlux's market share.”

Alexander Willermann, ​Sales Management

Maximum combinability
The decision to develop a new wintergarden system was made in 2024. The goal: a system that is superior to standard wintergardens in many respects, available in various designs and compatible with all thermally insulated, vertical systems. The new Avario system family offers three models (Smart – with internal statics, Pro – with external statics, for complex special shapes, and Cube, in a cubic shape and with a flat roof appearance) and numerous equipment options. The thermal insulation values are significantly better than those currently available on the market. 

Sales launch: As a test run in direct sales from mid January, with the official sales launch at the Quality Partner Conference in September.

Project manager Christoph Kemper reveals his personal highlights and challenges in the development of Avario in this video.

cero frameless

Even more glass, even less frame
Our maximum sliding window, cero, has always impressed with up to 15 m. of glass and a surrounding frame with a visible width of 34 mm. In the first quarter of 2026, a new product variant of the cero III will be added: cero frameless. Thanks to the horizontal frame, which is completely recessed at the top and bottom, all you see is glass – it appears as if this variant is almost frameless.

From product management – the advantages of cero frameless:

“We know from discussions with the sales department that architects and designers want to use as much glass as possible and want profiles that are barely visible. cero frameless caters precisely to this trend: the element frame disappears into the building structure and the sash frame is completely recessed horizontally. The glass edge visually blends in with the floor and ceiling.”

Proline A casement window

Sound insulation for demanding residential areas
Strict structural sound insulation requirements apply to healthy living in cities with high noise levels (from traffic, railways or industry). With the Proline A casement window (the A stands for acoustics), we have already developed a standard solution for road noise this year in collaboration with ifB Sorge, an engineering firm from Nuremberg specialising in building physics. The double-shell construction consists of an aluminium frame and our Proline T full-glass system, and is supplemented by integrated sound absorbers and dampers. It offers extreme advantages, especially for residential construction: it is delivered pre-assembled, has a uniform appearance and can be opened and closed flexibly thanks to the use of Proline T.

Plans for 2026: Another expansion stage, Proline A Mega, with greater installation depth for industrial noise. 


Sound insulation – an extremely important topic in architectural consulting 
“From our consulting work with architects, we have long known that there is a high demand for standardised sound insulation solutions. Through our collaboration with the specialist engineering firm, we have good access to the group of experts and know their requirements precisely. With our Proline A casement window, we can win contracts with this requirement and increase our market penetration in this area.”
