Rehau Geneo: the windows of the future

Rehau Geneo: the windows of the future

Rehau Geneo represents a new generation of PVC windows built on the RAU‑FIPRO composite profile. By replacing traditional steel reinforcement with a glass-fiber reinforced composite, Geneo achieves exceptional rigidity, thermal performance and design flexibility — qualities important for energy-efficient buildings across Northern Europe.

Summary

  • RAU‑FIPRO composite profile: strength without steel
  • Improved thermal insulation and lower heating costs
  • Enhanced sound insulation for urban homes
  • Robust security options and multipoint locking
  • Wide range of colors and finishes
  • Low maintenance and long service life

What is Rehau Geneo?

Rehau Geneo is a profile system where the conventional metal reinforcement is replaced by the RAU‑FIPRO composite. This material provides high stability and strength while allowing slimmer frame sections and larger glazed areas. The result is an energy-efficient window with modern aesthetics.

Key benefits

  • Structural stability without bulky steel profiles.
  • Slimmer visible widths for more glass and daylight.
  • Compatibility with advanced insulating glass units and high-performance seals.

Main advantages of Geneo

  • Thermal performance: combined with modern IGUs, Geneo reduces heat loss and improves indoor comfort.
  • Acoustic insulation: tight seals and solid construction decrease external noise penetration.
  • Durability: composite reinforcement resists corrosion and keeps the frame geometry stable over time.
  • Security: compatible with multi-point locks and anti-burglary fittings.
  • Design: available in various colors, laminates and surface textures.
  • Environmental and health aspects: designed and produced according to European standards for materials safety.

Construction details

  • Multi-chamber profile enhances thermal resistance and helps control condensation.
  • High-quality EPDM or similar seals improve airtightness and lifespan.
  • Supports a wide range of glazing options: low-E, acoustic, safety and solar-control glass.

Suitability for Latvian climate and typical buildings

Geneo is suitable for detached houses, apartment buildings and renovation projects. In climates with cold winters and variable springs, its thermal characteristics provide clear advantages in reducing heating demand and improving occupant comfort.

Installation and maintenance

  • Professional installation is essential: proper sealing, drainage and thermal bridging prevention ensure performance.
  • Maintenance is simple: clean seals, lubricate hardware annually, clear drainage channels and keep glass clean.
  • With correct installation and care, windows retain performance for decades.

Cost and return on investment

Initial cost is above standard PVC windows due to the advanced profile, but energy savings, reduced maintenance and increased property value contribute to a favorable payback over time.

How to choose the right configuration

  • Match the glazing unit to your thermal and acoustic needs.
  • Verify U‑values and acoustic ratings from suppliers.
  • Consider opening types, ventilation options and warranty terms.

FAQ

How long do Geneo windows last?

With correct installation and routine maintenance, Geneo windows can last for several decades. Manufacturer warranties vary, so check coverage details.

Do Geneo windows require extra ventilation?

Airtight windows reduce natural ventilation; mechanical ventilation or trickle vents are recommended to maintain indoor air quality and control condensation.

Can Geneo be installed in older frames?

Yes, but older openings often need repair or adjustment. Professional assessment of the revealing, sill and structural conditions is advised.

How to reduce condensation?

Condensation is caused by high indoor humidity and poor ventilation. Improve air exchange, use extractor fans and ensure correct window installation.

Are these windows expensive?

They are premium-priced relative to standard PVC frames, but deliver long-term energy savings and durability.
