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:
Feature | OS2-40 | OS2-65 | OS2-75 |
---|---|---|---|
Thermal Break | No (cold-formed, for interior use) | Yes (polyamide thermal barrier) | Yes (high-density polyurethane break) |
Frame Depth | ~42 mm | 65 mm | 77 mm |
Max Glazing | Single/Double only (no break) | Up to 40 mm (triple IGU) | Up to 50 mm (triple IGU) |
Sightline (Side) | 27 mm | 27 mm | 27 mm |
Materials | Cold-rolled Steel (standard) | Steel, Cortén, Stainless, Bronze | Steel, Cortén, Stainless, Bronze |
Typical Applications | Interior glass partitions & screens | Residential, commercial façades, historic renovations | High-end architecture, passive-house projects |
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.
Global Reach (US, Asia and Central/Eastern Europe)
Portamet’s global network ensures Secco OS2 steel windows are available wherever you build. We routinely export from Poland to architects and specifiers in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Our products meet international standards: every Secco OS2 window is tested to EN 14351-1 (CE marking for Europe), and we can provide NFRC certification for US energy codes. This means your Portamet windows are fully compliant with local building regulations, anywhere in the world. We also maintain multi-lingual support (English, Polish, German, French) and US-based representatives to facilitate specifications, custom sizes, and on-site assistance.
Worldwide Shipping & Service: We handle all logistics, packaging, and customs for international orders. Steel windows are built to order, so lead times include engineering review and your choice of hardware and glass. Numerous completed projects in Chicago, New York, Germany, Poland, and other regions attest to our ability to coordinate complex shipmentsp. Portamet’s team will work with you from design to delivery, ensuring seamless communication across time zones.
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.
