Design

Offering a choice of horizontal or vertical lines, TENTAL Trame Aspect features slim 50 or 60 mm sightlines and supports glazing thickness from 6mm to 62mm. Suitable for both flat and faceted facades, it allows for angles up to ±20°, providing design flexibility while preserving a clean, modern aesthetic.

Advanced Performance

Engineered with heavy-duty connectors and pins for optimised load distribution, TENTAL supports large glazing panels of up to 850 kg. Enhanced thermal performance can be achieved with the horizontal and vertical line options, with glazing up to 62 mm improves both acoustic and thermal efficiency.

Ventilation and Comfort

TENTAL facades are fully compatible with current and future window, door and sliding systems, enhancing user comfort through integrated ventilation and seamless design flexibility.

Carbon-Conscious Solution

TENTAL is made with at least 75% recycled content and is 95% recyclable, reducing its environmental impact. Made with Hydro CIRCAL® 75R (at least 75% recycled, end-of-life aluminium) as standard, the CO²e footprint of 1.9 kg CO² eq / kg Al. is around 80% lower than the European average emissions for primary aluminium production.

Design

The finishes have been designed with the greatest attention to detail, offering a harmonious appearance.

    Sustainability Information

    Supporting lower carbon facade design without compromise

    TENTAL facades help to reduce embodied carbon through the use of Hydro CIRCAL® aluminium (≥75% recycled content) and a design approach focused on circularity. With 95% recyclable components and compatibility with BREEAM and whole-life carbon strategies, TENTAL supports more sustainable facade design across UK and Ireland projects.

    Reduced CO² footprint

    Using Hydro CIRCAL© aluminium (1.9 kg CO2e/kg of Al.) allows 80% reduction of CO2 emissions vs the European average for primary aluminium. Ask for your dynamic Environment Product Declaration (EPD).

    75% recycled material

    Our products are made with at least 75% recycled components and materials including aluminium, EPDM, and polyamide.

    95% recyclable

    TENTAL is made with 95% recyclable materials. When we design our products, we take into account their disassembly and re-use at the end of their lifecycle.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • The TENTAL Trame facade is an aluminium curtain wall system designed with horizontal or vertical line emphasis, using 50mm or 60mm sightlines to create a distinctive architectural rhythm while maintaining high transparency and performance.

    • “Trame” refers to the intentional emphasis of horizontal or vertical lines within a facade, using mullions and transoms to create a strong visual rhythm and architectural identity.

    • TENTAL Trame creates a facade with defined horizontal or vertical lines, allowing architects to control how the building is perceived - either elongating the structure horizontally or emphasising vertical height and rhythm.

    • TENTAL Trame is ideal when projects require:

      • Strong directional facade design (horizontal or vertical emphasis)
      • A more dynamic and expressive alternative to flat cap systems
      • Greater control over the perception of architectural proportions and rhythm

    • The system allows:

      • Choice of horizontal or vertical facade lines
      • Slim 50mm and 60mm sightlines
      • Flat or faceted façades up to ±20°
      • Multiple glazing configurations

    • TENTAL Trame supports glazing thicknesses from 6mm up to 62mm, enabling a wide range of performance specifications for thermal, acoustic and structural requirements.

    • Yes. The TENTAL Trame system supported faceted up to approximately ±20°, allowing architects to create angled or sculptural building forms while maintaining consistent facade lines.

    • The system supports large glazing panels up to 850kg, enabling expansive, high-performance glazed facades with minimal interruption.

    • TENTAL Trame is manufactured using Hydro CIRCAL® aluminium which contains at least 75% recycled post-consumer content, helping to significantly reduce embodied carbon.

    • Yes. The system is designed for circularity:

      • At least 75% recycled content
      • 95% recyclable materials
      • Designed for disassembly and reuse
