Janisol Arte 66

Originally developed for refurbishing historic steel windows, Janisol Arte takes slimness to the next level. This system features extremely narrow face widths (as low as ~25–40 mm for fixed glazing) that beautifully replicate classic industrial and Art Deco steel windows. Yet, Janisol Arte is fully thermally broken and supports modern insulating glass. The Janisol Arte 2.0 generation offers improved insulation and even includes options in Corten and stainless steel for unique aestheticsjansen.com. Janisol Arte profiles allow for bespoke mullion designs and nearly limitless configurations, so architects can match almost any historic sightline or create new patterns. Despite the ultra-slim look, these windows meet contemporary standards – offering reliable insulation, multipoint locking, and the ability to incorporate tilt-and-turn or fixed panels. Concealed fittings maintain the authentic look with uninterrupted sightlines. Many of these qualities make Janisol Arte the perfect choice for both landmark renovations and high-end modern residences seeking a timeless industrial style.

With Janisol Arte 66, Jansen is expanding its range of systems to include an attractive variation. The basic depth of 66 mm enables the use of stronger glass, with a vent height of up to 2300 mm. 

This makes it possible to have the turn/tilt opening type, even with the special requirements of listed buildings for narrow frames. With the concealed fittings, they meet architects' and developers' demands for a uniform design and clear lines which do not allow any visual interruption. 

The Euro grooves make it easier for fabricators to install the fittings, while the new glazing bead system facilitates installation of the panes. Fabrication with push-in gasket or dry glazing takes place in the usual way, as with the Janisol and Janisol Arte 2.0 steel profiles – this ensures a high level of process reliability.

  • High thermal insulation (1,0 ≤ Uf ≤ 1,3)
  • Wind-load resistance up to class C5.
  • Watertightness up to class 9A.

Janisol

Modern Thermal Performance: The standard Janisol window system offers a balanced solution for most projects. With a frame depth of ~60 mm, Janisol steel windows can accommodate double or triple glazing for excellent thermal performance. They maintain slender sightlines while providing the strength for large operable sashes (supporting vent weights up to 180 kg) and even structural glazing configurations. Janisol is suitable for new builds and retrofits alike, offering various opening styles (inward or outward) and even specialty options like horizontal pivoting windows. These profiles are available in galvanized steel or stainless steel (316L) for corrosive environments. Janisol windows are tested and certified for all key performance criteria, including air/water tightness and thermal transmittance, and can be configured as burglar-proof or bullet-resistant if needed.

The slender appearance of Janisol window profiles creates space for creativity and gives a building a unique character. Regardless of the variants of rungs, curved windows or large-format glazing: the Janisol window system has its strengths both in new construction and in the renovation of existing buildings.

  • Thermally insulated (1,3 ≤ Uf ≤ 2,0)
  • Leaf weight up to 180 kg
  • Side-hung, tilt & turn, bottom-hung, top-hung and double-vent windows
  • Burglary protection rating up to RC (WK) 3 in accordance with EN 1627
  • Air permeability up to class 4

Jansen-Economy-50 Portamet.

Not every application requires a thermal break – for interior partitions, vestibules, or certain historic restorations, Jansen’s Economy series provides the classic steel look with simpler construction. 

Jansen Economy 50 is a steel/stainless steel profile system with an installation depth of only 50 mm, making it ideal for slender, elegant window designs without thermal insulation

Economy 50 windows match the appearance of Janisol from the exterior, but are uninsulated – a cost-effective choice for interior screens, shopfronts inside conditioned spaces, or any opening where thermal performance isn’t needed. These profiles still benefit from steel’s strength and can be fabricated into various operable or fixed units. (For external applications where insulation is critical, Janisol or Janisol Arte would be recommended; Economy 50 is typically used for interiors or mild climates.)

Applications and Use Cases for Jansen Steel Windows

One of the reasons Jansen steel windows are so sought-after is their versatility across project types. Portamet’s windows grace a wide variety of buildings – from historic landmarks to cutting-edge contemporary homes – proving that steel windows can enhance almost any architectural style. Here are some key applications and use cases:

  • Historic Renovations & Landmarks: Jansen’s slim profiles (especially Janisol Arte) are perfect for replacing old steel windows in heritage buildings, preserving the original sightlines while upgrading performance. Architects can maintain a building’s historic character – thin mullions, true divided lites, arched tops – with modern Janisol Arte windows that provide double glazing and weather tightness. These systems have been used in prestige restorations worldwide, where maintaining authenticity is paramount.

  • Modern Luxury Homes & Loft Conversions: Clean, minimalist aesthetics are in high demand for upscale residences and loft-style apartments. Steel windows enable expansive glass openings with minimal framing, ideal for maximizing views and daylight. A thermally broken steel window offers the desired industrial-chic look (slender black grids, for example) without the thermal drawbacks of old steel. Custom configurations like floor-to-ceiling steel French doors, pivot windows, or steel factory-style casements give modern homes a distinctive architectural edge.

  • Commercial & Public Buildings: From boutique hotels and restaurants to museums and office buildings, many commercial projects specify steel windows for their blend of durability and style. Steel’s strength allows larger window panels and higher security – great for storefronts, showrooms or ground-floor glazing in public buildings. Jansen systems are robust enough for high-traffic usage (doors in steel frames, for example) and can even provide fire-rated or bullet-resistant solutions for specialized requirements. In trendy hospitality spaces, internal steel and glass partitions are used to create that sought-after loft ambiance. The aesthetic versatility of Jansen profiles – available in any RAL color, stainless steel, or even weathered Corten steel – means they can complement both ultra-modern decor and classic vintage themes.

No matter the application, Portamet ensures that the steel windows we supply are engineered to the project’s needs. Our technical team can produce custom shapes for ecclesiastical or art-deco windows, large-format fixed glass walls for panoramic views, or intricate grid patterns for interior partitions. Jansen steel windows excel in scenarios where standard aluminum or uPVC simply don’t offer the required slimness, strength, or visual impact.

This expertise means your windows are engineered correctly from the start, avoiding any mix-and-match issues and guaranteeing the full benefits of the Jansen system.

  • Superior Craftsmanship: Steel windows require specialized skills to fabricate and finish. At Portamet, we employ experienced metalworkers and welders who treat each window as a crafted piece.

Our goal is a hassle-free experience from initial quote to final installation.

  • Competitive Pricing & Value: By manufacturing in Poland, we offer world-class quality at a cost-effective price point. You benefit from lower labor and overhead costs compared to many Western European or US manufacturers, without any compromise in materials (we use the same Jansen profiles and European hardware). Steel windows are an investment, but Portamet strives to deliver maximum value – our windows combine longevity, performance, and beauty, which translates to long-term ROI for your project. Moreover, our efficient production and B2B approach mean we can accommodate both one-off custom orders and larger volume requests with equal attention to cost optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Jansen Steel Windows

Q: What are Jansen steel windows, and why are they special?
A: Jansen steel windows refer to window systems made from steel profiles manufactured by Jansen AG, a Swiss company renowned for high-quality architectural steel systems. These windows are special because they combine the slender aesthetics of traditional steel windows with modern engineering. Jansen steel windows have extremely thin frames (thanks to steel’s strength) which maximize glass area and light. At the same time, they meet today’s performance needs – offering thermal insulation, security, and longevity. In essence, you get the best of both worlds: the classic beauty of steel fenestration and the comfort and efficiency of a modern window. Architects value Jansen windows for their style and versatility, using them in luxury homes, historic renovations, and upscale commercial projects where ordinary windows wouldn’t suffice.

Q: Are Jansen steel windows thermally broken and energy-efficient?
A: Yes – most Jansen steel window systems (such as the Janisol series) are thermally broken. A “thermally broken” window means that the metal frame is constructed with an insulating barrier (thermal break) between the exterior and interior parts, drastically reducing heat loss. Jansen pioneered thermally insulated steel profiles to ensure steel windows can be just as energy-efficient as aluminum or wood windows. For example, Jansen’s Janisol windows have a glass-fiber reinforced plastic separator that achieves U-values around 1.5 W/m²K with double glazing, and even better with triple glazing. This meets or exceeds typical energy code requirements in Europe and the US. Additionally, thermally broken steel frames help eliminate condensation on the interior. So, despite being made of steel, Jansen windows deliver excellent energy efficiency and comfort, suitable for modern low-energy or Passive House buildings. (Note: Jansen’s “Economy” series is non-thermal for interior use, but all exterior-grade systems like Janisol, Arte, etc. include thermal breaks.)

Q: What is the difference between Jansen Janisol and Janisol Arte?
A: Janisol and Janisol Arte are both thermally insulated steel profile systems from Jansen, but they serve different design goals. Janisol is the standard series, designed for broad use in new builds and renovations where a balance of slim profile and robust performance is needed. Janisol profiles have somewhat larger frame dimensions to allow bigger glass units or higher structural loads, and they come in many variants (including doors, tilt-turn windows, etc.). Janisol Arte, on the other hand, was specifically developed for replacing old steel windows with super-slim sightlines – it has an ultra-thin profile width to mimic classic steel window designs from the early 20th century. Janisol Arte is perfect for heritage projects or any design that demands the thinnest possible frame. Technically, Janisol Arte profiles are narrower and a bit shallower in depth than standard Janisol, and might support slightly smaller maximum sizes due to their slimness. However, Janisol Arte still uses a thermal break and modern multipoint locking, so you get nearly the same performance as regular Janisol, just in a more delicate form. In summary, choose Janisol for universal applications (or larger openings) and Janisol Arte when profile slimness is the top priority – such as in historic window refurbishments or sleek divided-light patterns. Often, the two systems are used complementarily: for instance, Janisol Arte for fixed and casement windows, and Janisol for matching doors or larger tilt-turn units in the same project.

Q: Will steel windows rust or require a lot of maintenance over time?
A: Modern steel windows are very durable and low-maintenance. Jansen steel profiles are made from high-grade steel that is usually hot-dip galvanized or zinc-coated to prevent rust. After fabrication, Portamet finishes each window with a strong powder-coat paint in your chosen color, which seals the steel against moisture and corrosion. The result is a finish that can last decades with minimal upkeep – typically just occasional cleaning. Unlike old uncoated steel frames that could corrode, today’s galvanized and coated steel windows have excellent corrosion resistance. In fact, steel is often used in coastal or harsh environments when properly protected. We also offer stainless steel versions of Jansen profiles for the ultimate in corrosion resistance if needed. As for maintenance, steel windows do not warp or swell, so you won’t be planing edges or adjusting them seasonally as can happen with wood. The hardware (hinges, handles) may need standard lubrication every year or two, and the seals/gaskets should be kept clean, but that’s about it. Many steel windows installed in historic buildings 80–100 years ago are still operable today (after restoration), and with modern coatings, the lifespan is even longer. Portamet stands behind the longevity of our windows – with proper care, your steel windows will retain their strength and beauty for generations.

Q: Can Jansen steel windows be customized in size, style, and finish?
A: Absolutely. One of the great advantages of steel windows is the high level of customization available. Portamet builds each Jansen window to order, so we can tailor dimensions and configurations to your exact needs. Whether you require an oversized fixed pane, a unique shape (round, arch, gothic arch, etc.), or a specific mullion grid pattern, we can fabricate it thanks to steel’s flexibility and strength. Jansen profiles support a variety of window types – from inward-opening tilt-turns, outward casements, hopper vents, to French doors and pivot windows – giving you creative freedom in design. We also accommodate custom muntin designs or simulated divided lites to match historical layouts or create new geometrical patterns. In terms of finish, you have a broad palette: we offer any RAL color or custom colors in durable powder-coat (matte, satin, or gloss). You can also opt for special finishes like patinated corten steel (weathering steel) for a rustic look, or polished stainless steel for a sleek modern aesthetic. The hardware (handles, etc.) comes in various styles and finishes (brass, stainless, black, etc.) to suit traditional or contemporary tastes. Glass options are equally flexible – clear, tinted, decorative, triple-glazed, etc., including high-performance low-E and even integrated blinds if required. In short, Jansen steel windows are often made-to-measure products. Our team will work with you to ensure every specification – from profile type to color and accessories – aligns with your vision. The result is a truly bespoke window that enhances your project’s architecture while delivering all the benefits of a proven engineered system.
