For architects
Align opening types, visible frame lines, glazing and finishes with your design. Start the discussion with elevations, opening schedules and detail requirements.
Support for architects DERCHI / Israel project solutions
Modern windows and doors for projects in Israel.
Bring modern design, large glass openings and climate-aware configuration into one coordinated aluminium window and door package.
01 / Your project team 01 02 03
One package. Three project priorities.
For developers
Define a consistent specification across unit types. Review options, quantities, approval milestones and delivery priorities before the order is finalised.
Developer & builder supportFor contractors
Resolve dimensions, handing, thresholds and site interfaces early. Agree how openings will be identified, packed, received and installed.
Support for contractors 02 / Start with the location The same design language.
The same design language.
A different project brief.
A coastal site, an inland development and a higher-elevation home should not automatically receive the same glass and frame specification. Start with the actual location and exposure.
City & orientation
Project location, façade direction, sun exposure and external shading.
Opening & structure
Width, height, panel layout, supporting structure and wind design criteria.
Comfort & safety
Thermal targets, solar gain, noise, ventilation and glazing safety requirements.
Site interfaces
Drainage, thresholds, wall build-up, coastal exposure and installation access.
Israel's SI 1045 climate framework distinguishes four zones. Confirm the project's zone and current design criteria with its consultant. Climate data: Israel Meteorological Service ↗
Final dimensions and interfaces require project review.
03 / System selection
Choose the opening by how the space works.
Start with movement, ventilation and circulation. Then refine the frame, glass and finish.
| Opening system | Project use | Review before selection | Product family |
|---|---|---|---|
 Inward / tilt-and-turn | Operable windows for rooms requiring controlled ventilation. | Internal swing clearance, hardware, safety, cleaning access and sealing. | Aluminium windows |
 Sliding | Wide glazed openings with panels moving along a track. | Panel weight, track count, clear opening, threshold, drainage and handling. | Sliding doors |
 Folding | Terraces, courtyards and openings where panels stack to one or both sides. | Stacking zone, panel sequence, traffic leaf, threshold and weather exposure. | Bifold doors |
 Pivot entry | A defined architectural entrance with a pivoting leaf. | Pivot position, swing clearance, structure, glass, hardware and access needs. | Entry doors |
Opening diagrams are explanatory only. Actual arrangements, dimensions and performance depend on the selected system.
04 / Indoor–outdoor connection Open the view.
Open the view.
Resolve the detail.
Large glass is an architectural decision and a construction decision. Review both together.
Translate the elevation into a workable opening.
Share the desired clear opening and panel arrangement. DERCHI can discuss sliding or folding options against the dimensions, glass build-up and operating requirements.
- Panel size & weight: confirm system and hardware limits for the exact opening.
- Track & threshold: coordinate level changes, drainage and weather exposure.
- Structure & movement: agree the support and installation interface with the project engineer.
- Handling & access: plan delivery, lifting and installation before fixing the panel layout.
05 / Climate-aware configuration Modern windows and doors.
Modern windows and doors.
Configured as a complete envelope.
Glass, frame, seals and installation details work together. Compare the complete configuration—not an isolated glass specification.
Glazing & solar control
Discuss Low-E coatings, insulated units, argon fill and safety-glass options. Review U-Factor, SHGC and visible light against orientation, shading and the project's comfort targets.
Frame & finish
Compare thermal-break configurations, frame depth and visible sightlines. Confirm finish colour, coating specification and hardware suitability for the site's exposure.
Sealing & drainage
Review seals, drainage paths and the frame-to-wall interface. Coordinate screens, external shading and maintenance access where the project requires them.
For coastal projects, identify exposure in the brief. For sun-exposed glazing, review solar gain and shading. Final selections remain project-specific.

Reference data only. Glass build-ups are shown in millimetres using catalogue notation. Values can change with dimensions, glass, hardware, opening arrangement and test method. Confirm the exact configuration, supporting report and suitability for the Israel project before specification or purchase.
07 / Specification support Confirm the documents.
Confirm the documents.
Then confirm the specification.
Ask which technical documents are available for the selected system and build-up. A certificate display or catalogue value is not a blanket approval for every opening.
System & geometry Profiles, opening arrangement, dimensions and hardware.
Glass & finish Glass build-up, safety requirements, coating and colour.
Performance evidence Applicable tests, tested specimen and report scope.
Project interfaces Threshold, drainage, fixings and installation coordination.
For Israel projects, the architect or local consultant should confirm applicable requirements, including SI 1068 for windows and SI 1099 for glazing where relevant. International documents do not automatically establish Israeli compliance.

The details that make the first conversation more useful.
Send the project city, building type, elevations or opening schedule, approximate quantities and target programme. Add dimensions, opening direction, finish preferences and any consultant-defined thermal, solar, acoustic or wind requirements.
Discuss the window and door families together, including colour, glass appearance, hardware and frame lines. Exact sightlines and profiles vary between systems, so visual consistency should be reviewed against the selected products and drawings.
No single catalogue build-up should be assumed suitable for every location and façade. Review climate zone, orientation, shading, glass area and project targets. Ask the project consultant to confirm the required thermal and solar performance.
Use them for initial evaluation only. Before specifying, request the relevant report and confirm the tested dimensions, opening type, glass, hardware and test method. A value for one reference configuration is not a guarantee for every size or variant.
Confirm responsibilities, coverage and warranty terms in the quotation and order documents. Local surveying, installation, waterproofing and acceptance must have named owners. This page does not promise an Israel-based installation or service team.
The system, opening sizes, quantities, glass, hardware, finish, packing and delivery scope all affect the proposal. Agree the programme after technical details and commercial terms are reviewed. No fixed price or delivery time is implied by the catalogue.
Do not assume ordinary catalogue windows or doors are suitable for protected rooms, blast resistance or other specialist applications. Identify these openings separately and require product-specific evidence and approval from the responsible project professionals.
