The ultimate steel window profiles

Portamet is a leading steel windows manufacturer with Polish-based production serving clients in the US and Central/Eastern Europe  We specialize in fabricating Secco Sistemi steel window systems (OS2-65, OS2-75, OS2-40) to deliver thermally broken, high-performance steel and bronze windows worldwide. The award-winning Secco OS2 series offers ultra-slim Italian-designed frames, giving architects expansive glass and seamless sightlines .

All Portamet OS2 windows use high-density polyamide/polyurethane thermal breaks between inner and outer profiles, so interiors stay warm in winter and cool in summer p. As a versatile steel-windows producer, Portamet combines Italian elegance with European quality to serve projects globally.

ecco Sistemi OS2 Profile Series (40, 65, 75)

The Secco Sistemi OS2 series is an award-winning family of slim-profile steel windows and doors. All OS2 profiles share a 27 mm slim sightline and a modern thermal-break design. Depth and insulation vary by sub-type: OS2-40 is a 42 mm deep cold-formed frame (non-thermally broken) mainly for interior partitions, while OS2-65 (65 mm frame) and OS2-75 (77 mm frame) are fully thermally-broken systems that accept double or triple glazing. The OS2 series includes over 40 profile variants, covering every opening type (casement, tilt-turn, sliding, lift-slide, bi-fold, pivot, etc.). Below is a comparison of key OS2 specifications:

These OS2 profiles allow a consistent look across all windows and doors. For example, a project can use the same 27 mm frame on fixed windows, casements, and sliders, ensuring uninterrupted. Portamet can tailor any OS2 window with custom shapes (arches, circles), hardware, and finishes (RAL paint or custom bronze patinas) to meet your design vision.

Secco Sistemi OS2 75

OS2 75 is the thermal break window in precious metals, with minimal profiles of 27 mm, central node between the two windows of only 62 mm, depth of 77 mm for glass up to 50 mm. The system is the only one that has all types of openings, tilt and turn, bi-folding, pivot, lift and slide, anti-burglary, providing you with the option to always have the same section in sight.

 

There are more than 40 profiles to choose from, where you can find solutions for any formal or functional project requirement. The profiles can house flush-mounted and non-flush-mounted glass panels, enhance the borders of the monocoloured area of the windows that make up the front, or render them imperceptible to the eye, put fixed or openable sashes correspondingly in the design of the façade. To better distinguish the various choices available, we have created two subsystems: OS2 75.1 and OS2 75.2.

Key Benefits of Secco OS2 Steel Windows

  • Ultra-Slim Sightlines & Elegant Design: OS2 profiles have award-winning Italian styling. With side sections as narrow as 27 mm, they “dematerialize” walls and flood interiors with natural light. The minimalist frames complement both contemporary and classical architecture. Optional finishes include matte black, any RAL color, or precious metals like copper or brass that age to a luxurious patina.

  • High Thermal & Acoustic Performance: All OS2 windows are thermally broken steel windows, using polyamide/polyurethane strips between inner and outer metal. This interrupts heat transfer so effectively that OS2 systems routinely achieve passive-house level U-values (around 0.6–1.0 W/m²K) with triple glazing. The solid steel construction also provides excellent sound insulation, keeping interiors quiet and comfortable.

  • Exceptional Strength & Security: Steel’s tensile strength is three times that of aluminum, allowing large panes and tall openings. Portamet’s OS2 windows withstand high wind loads and harsh weather; rigorous welding and gaskets make them airtight and watertight. For safety, Secco OS2 offers EBE fire-rated variants (up to EI90) and anti-burglary options, while standard frames easily meet strict security standards.

  • Versatile Materials & Finishes: Beyond black-painted steel, Secco OS2 profiles can be made in architectural bronze (brass), stainless steel or Corten®. Brass frames give a warm bronze-like look that naturally weathers over time. With dozens of glazing beads and finishes, every window can be precisely specified for light, privacy, and aesthetic goals.

  • Design Flexibility: Secco’s modular OS2 system has 40+ profile options, enabling virtually any configuration. Architects can mix fixed panes with operable casements, tilt-turns, sliders or folding doors, all using matching slim frames. This uniformity means a single project can maintain the same frame dimension on fixed and opening units, creating cohesive facades. The OS2-75 can accommodate oversized sashes (up to ~130×290 cm) and concealed hardware for a clean, modern look.

  • Sustainability & Quality: Portamet’s steel windows are built to last. We use locally sourced, eco-friendly materials and powder coatings, and each frame is CE-certified and NFRC-ready. Steel is fully recyclable, and the extended service life of Secco windows means fewer replacements and reduced environmental impact.

FAQ

Q: What are Secco Sistemi OS2 steel windows? 

The OS2 series are premium thermally-broken steel window and door profiles designed in Italy. They offer extremely narrow visible sections (as slim as 27 mm) and can be used in any opening type. OS2 windows can be fabricated in structural steel or architectural bronze, giving a heritage look with modern performance.

Q: How do OS2-65 and OS2-75 differ? 

The numbers refer to frame depth in millimeters. OS2-65 frames are 65 mm deep and accommodate double/triple glazing up to 40 mm. OS2-75 frames are deeper (77 mm) and can take larger triple-glazed units (up to 50 mm). Both maintain the same 27 mm slim sightline. OS2-75 also offers flush-glass variants and larger sash sizes for panoramic designs.

Q: Are Secco OS2 windows energy-efficient? 

Yes. All OS2 profiles are thermally broken, meaning they have insulating polyamide or polyurethane barriers between the steel sections. This dramatically reduces thermal bridging. Combined with argon-filled IGUs, Portamet’s OS2 windows routinely achieve U-values in the 0.6–1.2 W/m²K range, easily meeting tight energy codes. Our windows are CE-certified and can be NFRC-rated in the US to demonstrate compliance with specific climate zones.

Q: Can I get bronze-colored or brass windows from Secco? 

Absolutely. Secco OS2 frames can be finished in architectural brass (bronze) or copper. Brass finish provides a warm bronze-like patina that ages gracefully. Portamet can apply custom patinas or paints (including RAL colors) so that your windows perfectly match the project’s aesthetic.

Q: What is the difference between thermally broken and regular steel windows? 

A thermally broken steel window inserts a non-conductive material between the inner and outer metal profiles. This thermal break stops heat flow through the frame. In contrast, non-broken (cold-formed) steel windows conduct heat and cold easily, making them inefficient for exterior use. Secco’s OS2-40 is an unbroken variant (for interior use), whereas OS2-65/75 are fully broken, achieving much higher insulation.

Q: Where does Portamet ship steel windows? 

Portamet delivers worldwide. We have shipped projects in the USA, Asia, Europe (including CE and Eastern Europe), and Asia. Our windows are designed to meet both EU and US standards, so they can be specified on projects globally. We handle export documentation and coordinate with local partners to ensure smooth installation everywhere.
