Core System Specifications:

  • Build-in depth: 80 mm (Frame). This is a widened edition of the system for anyone after a balance between classic styling and top-grade heat retention.
  • Chamber layout: 6 air chambers. The extra chamber plus the wider profile form a formidable shield against cold.
  • Styling: Distinctive rounded shaping of sashes and frames. The profile shows marked curves (20 mm radius) on its exposed faces, setting it apart from the severe "angular" lines of standard windows.
  • Finish: HDF (High Definition Finishing) — Rehau's reference glossy surface. Notable for negligible porosity (dirt can't take hold) and a luminous sheen.
  • Weatherproofing: Two sealing circuits (seal overlap: 8 mm inside, 7 mm outside). Highly elastic EPDM seals are fitted, holding their properties through temperature extremes.

Glazing Choices:

  • Greatest glass unit thickness: up to 41 mm.
  • Fill panel option: Perfectly matched to energy-efficient double-chamber glass units with an inert gas fill (argon/krypton).
  • Glazing bead fitting: Option to use rounded designer glazing beads that trace the profile geometry.

Tested Performance (per DIN EN 14351-1):

  • Frame heat retention (Uf): 0.99 W/m²K. Owing to the 6-chamber build and 80 mm depth, the profile clears the symbolic thermal-conductivity threshold of 1.0, nearing passive heating system standards.
  • Window heat retention (Uw): Can fall to 0.9 W/m²K and lower (depending on the glass unit).
  • Noise reduction (Rw,p): up to 45 dB (noise protection class 5).
  • Break-in protection: up to RC3 class (with anti-burglary hardware).
  • Air leakage rating: Class 4 (top-level airtightness).
  • Rain protection: Class 9A.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Rehau Brillant-Design 80

What are the exact thermal and structural specs of the Brillant-Design 80?

It runs an 80 mm build-in depth with a 6-chamber layout (frame height 120 mm). The frame value is Uf 0.99 W/m²K, clearing the symbolic 1.0 threshold, and window Uw ≤ 1.1 W/m²K (down to 0.9 with the right glass). Sealing uses two EPDM circuits with 8 mm inner and 7 mm outer overlap, hitting airtightness Class 4 and rain Class 9A.

What is the maximum glazing thickness, and which units fit a Brillant-Design 80?

The rebate takes glass units up to 41 mm, ideal for energy-saving double-chamber (triple) units with an argon or krypton fill. Typical fits:

  • Double-chamber 4-x-4-x glass with warm spacers
  • Acoustic laminated build-ups within 41 mm
Anything thicker, such as the 51 mm units a Synego accepts, will not seat in this rebate.

What is the Brillant-Design 80 not suitable for?

It is a windows profile, so it does not cover sliding or lift-and-slide spans, large terrace doors, or panel weights handled by HST systems. Security tops out at RC3 with anti-burglary hardware, and glazing is capped at 41 mm. For true passive-house Uw values near 0.73, the Geneo PHZ is the right tool, not this profile.

How does the Brillant-Design 80 sit between the Brillant-Design 70 and the Synego?

Versus the Brillant-Design 70 (70 mm, 5 chambers, Uw ≤ 1.2, glass to 42 mm) it gains a chamber, 10 mm of depth and reaches Uw ≤ 1.1. The 80 mm Synego goes further with 7 chambers, glass to 51 mm and Uw ≤ 0.94. Brillant-Design 80 is the design-led middle ground: curved styling with near-passive Uf 0.99.

What makes the rounded HDF styling of the Brillant-Design 80 distinctive?

Its signature is a soft, rounded shaping with a 20 mm radius on the exposed sash and frame faces, a clear break from the angular lines of standard windows. The surface is Rehau's HDF (High Definition Finishing) reference gloss, with negligible porosity so dirt cannot take hold. Optional rounded designer glazing beads trace the same profile geometry.

What sound insulation does the Brillant-Design 80 reach?

With the right glazing it reaches Rw,p up to 45 dB, which corresponds to noise protection class 5. That is a step above the 70 mm Brillant-Design (≈43 dB) and close to the 80 mm Synego (≈46 dB), helped by the wider 80 mm depth, 6 chambers and dual EPDM seals damping airborne noise.
