Looking forward to Lucia

EDGE Architectural is Australian architect’s preferred framing system for institutional developments. Over the past two years, EDGE’s project portfolio has grown, now boasting some of Australia’s most impressive large scale educational designs.

With a solid commercial portfolio, EDGE Architectural is now fast becoming the preferred window and door specification on apartment developments.

The reason for EDGE Architectural’s commercial popularity?

Our polyurethane thermal break technology, provides U-MAX™ thermally broken frames superior structural strength. Additional strength, means you don’t have to compromise on large window spans in thermal break. In addition to strength, compatibility between U-MAX™, MAX™ and GEN™ provides extraordinary project flexibility. Switching seamlessly between broken and non-broken frames has allowed architects to meet a variety of ESD requirements across project façades, remain on budget, and achieve design intent.

EDGE Architectural can be seen in education projects across Australia. Some institutional projects to date:
