Compare at a glance
Use this chart as a starting point. Final recommendations depend on climate, opening size, glass, operation, code requirements, and project goals.
The simplest way to choose
Start with the opening.
Interior or exterior use, required thermal performance, preferred sightline, and budget will quickly narrow the best profile for your project.
Choose Secco
When exterior thermal performance and refined European-style sightlines are both non-negotiable.
Choose S40
When the opening is primarily interior and achieving the thinnest possible steel sightline is the priority.
Choose Classic
When you want authentic steel character, broad customization, and a more value-conscious starting point.
