Trends in raam ontwerp

In raam ontwerp passing fads are being replaced by a gradual, stijlvol makeover. It has been following a clear, „less is more” principle voor vele jaren. A trendy raam means above all a large glas – profielen are slender, gentle and minimalistic, although a drop of kleurful avant-garde is welcome

Trendy minimalism

Clunky, multi-layer ramen with thick profielen are a thing of the past. Today, producers do not want ramen to disrupt the room aesthetics. Therefore, they propose narrow, elegant profielen that  neatly integrate with the wall. With the reduction of the kozijn, the glas gained larger surface, letting in as much light as possible. The growing popularity of ramen with aluminium profielen is a part of the minimalist trend, suitable for the ultra-modern construction and for interiors inspired by loft style.

Round and round

Raam trends include not only generally slender profielen, but also round ones.   What we mean is the gentle finish where the kozijn and the sash form a coherent, aesthetic whole after closing. Such an attitude is in line with the minimalistic trend where raam kozijns should be just a background for the view. If the wall with the raam should stand out, it is not because of the conspicuous kozijn, but due to raam decorations, such as curtains, rolluiken or simple fabric panels.

Anything but wit

Wit kleur is still the most popular in raam houtwork, but it must be noted that nowadays we have a choice of virtually unlimited number of profiel kleuren. Drutex offer includes 43 shades, from minimalistic creamy and grijs, through zwart and  natural kleur films, to bold green, claret and blue, as well as hout like kleuren. The kleurful profielen allow us to match the raam to the façade kleur, to the interior or both at the same time, because a oplossing that is taking off is to buy models that have different kleuren on the outside and on the inside. The kleuren that are gaining more and more popularity are grijs and hout like kleuren that visually give the hout like effect.  You might opt for ramen with kleurful profielen especially when ontwerping a child’s room.

Ramen to the world

Trendy ramen are, above all, large – they used to be in the upper part of the wall, today – preferably from floor to ceiling. One example is Drutex deur, IGLO-HS, that constitutes a perfect oplossing for the trendy terrace and patio large-size glazing. The systeem is the ideaal oplossing for energiezuinig and passive houses due to  great parameters in thermische isolatie. What is more, they ensure a lot of daylight in the room and they facilitate the arassortimentment , while maintaining stability, functioneelity and the structure lightness. When planning a house in beautiful surroundings, in a bit isolated lot, it is especially recommended to apply big glazing that  allows to admire the great view and lets in maximum daylight. Such a choice should be determined by the house location – big ramen work well in rather dark rooms, whereas installing them in sunny rooms may cause problems on hot days.   If you decide to replace the raam with a glas wall it is important to remember about external rolluiken that serve a number of functions. They offer anti-inbraak protection, the allow to control sunlight in the room and they serve as thermal regulator, reducing outflow and inflow of the heat into the rooms.
