Frequently Asked Questions

Aperi is a family of motorized and hand‑operated vertical sash glass systems designed to enclose or protect outdoor dining and hospitality spaces. They offer insulated window units and wind‑breaker systems built from durable, thermally broken 6063‑T6 aluminum frames.

The motorized Aperi Vast, Slim and Lite models are window systems of varying frame thicknesses and sash counts. Aperi Vast is the largest, with a frame depth up to 255 mm (10‑inch) for up to four sashes. Aperi Slim offers a mid‑sized footprint with a frame depth of 127 mm–170 mm and minimal trim, while Aperi Lite provides a simplified motorized option for smaller dimensions. For outdoor wind protection, the Wind Breaker series includes motorized (Smart) and hand‑operated (Dynamic and Basic) versions.

Motorized Aperi windows use an integrated electric motor and chain‑lifting system. Users operate the window via push‑button or remote control, raising or lowering the glazed panels smoothly and safely. The systems also include safety features such as insulated motor covers and chain guards to protect users.

Yes. The Wind Breaker Dynamic and Wind Breaker Basic models offer manual operation using a gas‑spring piston or counter‑weighted hand control, respectively. These versions are ideal where electric power supply is unavailable or unnecessary.

Aperi windows are tested to international standards for air permeability (EN 12207 Class 3), water tightness (EN 12208 Class 9A) and wind‑load resistance (EN 12210 Class C3). This ensures reliable performance in varied climates and helps maintain comfortable indoor conditions.

Aperi systems support insulated glazing up to 24 mm or 32 mm, depending on the model. Standard double‑pane configurations (e.g., 4‑16‑4 mm or 5‑14‑5 mm) provide thermal and acoustic insulation. The Wind Breaker series uses single glazing of 6–10 mm for durability and wind protection.

Frames and motor covers can be finished in virtually any RAL colour, wood‑grain effect or anodized finish. Customized dimensions, sash counts and optional flower boxes or mobile caster bases for the Wind Breaker series are also available.

They are suited for restaurants, cafés, hotels and residential terraces. The motorized windows can be used as full-height facade openings or integrated into partitions. The Wind Breaker units provide wind protection and are often paired with planters to delineate outdoor seating.

Installation should be performed by trained professionals. The systems are supplied with integrated glazing beads and thermally broken frames for straightforward assembly. A dealer or installer will ensure proper electrical connections (for motorized versions) and compliance with local building codes.

Aperi windows require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the aluminum profiles and glass, periodic inspection of the motor and chain mechanisms, and lubrication of moving parts will keep the systems functioning smoothly. If any components show wear, contact an authorized dealer for service.
