Rehau Geneo: a premium profile

Rehau Geneo: a premium profile

Rehau Geneo is a high‑performance window profile designed for modern energy‑efficient buildings. Built on the RAU‑FIPRO composite (a reinforced polymer), Geneo replaces traditional steel reinforcement with a fiber‑composite solution that increases strength while reducing thermal bridges. The profile is aimed at homeowners and developers seeking superior insulation, durability and contemporary design.

Main characteristics

• RAU‑FIPRO composite core: structural reinforcement without steel, lowering heat loss through the frame.
• Deep profile design allows larger insulating glazing units and improves thermal and acoustic performance.
• Slim sightlines and multiple finish options, including woodgrain laminates and contemporary colors.
• Multi‑seal system for high airtightness and reduced drafts.
• Low maintenance and long service life with correct installation.

Benefits for homes and apartments in Latvia

1. Heating savings. Geneo’s improved insulation reduces heat loss and helps maintain indoor temperature more efficiently.
2. Noise reduction. Larger glazing and advanced sealing lower street noise — important in urban settings.
3. Stability and security. The composite reinforcement keeps sashes stable and prevents warping over time.
4. Aesthetic flexibility. Choose white, colored laminate or wood finishes to match interiors.
5. Reduced condensation. Better thermal performance lowers the chance of internal condensation on frames.

Installation and care

Correct installation is essential to realize Geneo’s properties. Use certified installers to ensure proper sealing of reveals, correct drainage and precise fitting. This preserves insulation and prevents moisture issues.

Maintenance is straightforward: clean frames with mild detergent, clear drainage channels and inspect seals annually. Periodic adjustment and lubrication of hardware will maintain smooth operation.

FAQ — practical questions and answers

How does Geneo differ from standard PVC profiles?

Geneo uses RAU‑FIPRO — a reinforced polymer core — instead of relying on steel reinforcement. This reduces thermal bridges and improves energy performance while keeping the frame rigid and durable.

Do Geneo windows still need steel reinforcement?

No. The composite reinforcement within Geneo eliminates the need for traditional steel inserts in sashes, reducing heat transfer and weight while maintaining structural integrity.

Is Geneo suitable for Latvia's climate?

Yes. Geneo was developed to perform well in temperate and cold climates. Paired with high‑quality insulating glazing and proper installation, it provides reliable thermal comfort in Latvian winters.

What glazing should I choose with Geneo?

For best results, opt for low‑emissivity (Low‑E) coatings, inert gas fills (argon) and layered configurations for acoustic performance if needed. Consultation with a window specialist helps match glazing to priorities: thermal efficiency, noise reduction, or safety.

Is maintenance complicated?

Not at all. Basic upkeep—cleaning frames, checking seals and lubricating hardware—keeps Geneo performing well for many years.

How long do Geneo windows last?

With professional installation and routine maintenance, service life typically exceeds 25 years while retaining functional properties. Manufacturer warranties vary by supplier.

Is the higher price justified?

Geneo is an investment: the upfront cost is higher than standard PVC windows, but it pays back through energy savings, improved comfort and longevity — especially relevant for energy‑conscious projects.
