Métalec manufactures steel frames designed specifically for the exterior openings, adapting perfectly to the climatic fluctuations.

The thermally broken frames are manufactured in two parts separated by a low thermal conductive PVC flashing which eliminates thermal bridge.

The two parts are retained together by a Z-shaped steel reinforcement eliminating thermal bond between the exterior and interior door frame faces.
