VEKA: exterior joinery

Recognized industrial know-how

For over 50 years, VEKA has established itself as the world leader in PVC profile extrusion. Founded in 1969 and based in Thonon-les-Bains, France, the group emphasizes its German expertise, synonymous with precision and quality. PVC extrusion, VEKA's core business, involves transforming rigid PVC into multi-chamber profiles offering dimensional stability and enhanced insulation.

“VEKA profiles are NF and CSTB certified, guaranteeing compliance with French and European standards.”

Technical performance and durability

VEKA PVC profiles stand out for several advantages:

• Thermal and acoustic insulation thanks to internal chambers and the rigidity of PVC.

• High mechanical resistance , adapted to climatic constraints.

• Minimal maintenance , PVC requires neither painting nor special treatment.

• Full recyclability , via collection and co-extrusion of recycled materials.

Environmental commitment is central: VEKA is developing an active recycling channel for end-of-life profiles, thus reducing the carbon footprint of its joinery.

Personalization and custom design

VEKA offers great aesthetic freedom. Nearly 70 colors and textures are available, including the high-end VEKA Spectral ultramatte finish , designed to rival aluminum.

The profiles can be colored on one or both sides and integrated into numerous systems (cremones, crosspieces, hardware). This flexibility appeals to both the new and renovation markets.

“VEKA combines technical performance and aesthetics to meet all architectural requirements.”

Applications: windows, doors and shutters

VEKA solutions cover all exterior joinery:

• Straight, curved, tilt-and-turn or French-style windows .

• Robust, secure and insulating French doors and front doors .

• Roller shutters, hinged or sliding shutters , in perfect harmony with the window ranges.

This versatility allows specifiers and craftsmen to offer joinery adapted to individual housing, collective projects or commercial buildings.

Large bay windows and sliding systems

Contemporary architecture demands extra-large openings. VEKA responds with its VISION XXL range , allowing for glazed openings 20% larger than a standard window.

VEKA sliding systems, such as VEKASLIDE Hi-5 or Softline 70/82 , accept sashes up to 2,6 m wide, while guaranteeing thermal, acoustic and security insulation.

Roller shutters and sun protection

VEKAVARIANT MASTERBOX roller shutter boxes are designed for large openings. Their quick installation, in under 12 minutes, saves time on site. Airtightness, acoustic comfort, and thermal performance are guaranteed.

Motorized and compatible with home automation systems, VEKA roller shutters integrate with solar management solutions to optimize brightness and thermal comfort.

Finishing and color options for large VEKA joinery

VEKA offers a wide range of finishes and colors to customize windows, bay windows, French doors, and roller shutter boxes. This diversity meets the expectations of architects and project owners seeking aesthetics and performance.

Color chart and color options

The DÉCOR IN COLOR color chart includes nearly 70 shades organized into 7 families: natural wood, painted wood, sandblasted finish ( Fine Structure ), smooth finish, ultra-matte finish ( VEKA Spectral ), metallic finishes, and solid colors (white, beige, gray). This selection covers both traditional and contemporary styles.

Types of finishes

• Lamination : decorative heat-bonded film, imitating wood, sandblasted or metallic surfaces, resistant to UV and scratches.

• Mass colored : PVC colored throughout, durable and easy to maintain, available in white, beige or light grey.

• VEKA Spectral : high-end ultra-matte finish with a velvety feel, with exclusive shades such as spectral anthracite, black graphite or burgundy.

• VEKA Fine Structure : matte and textured sandblasted finish, resistant and elegant, available in 8 trendy colours.

Personalization and two-tone

The joinery can combine two shades: an exterior shade to match the facade, and an interior shade to match the decor. This option is particularly useful during renovations.

Maintenance and durability

VEKA colored profiles are resistant to UV rays, humidity, and pollution. They can be cleaned simply with clean water, ensuring trouble-free longevity.

“With nearly 70 finishes, VEKA combines innovation, design and durability for large-scale joinery.”

Thermal performance of VEKA sliding doors

VEKA sliding doors have some of the most efficient Uw coefficients on the market:

• VEKASLIDE Hi-5 : Uw ≤ 1,3 W/(m²·K) in double glazing, up to 0,97 in triple glazing.

• Lifting or sliding systems : Uw from 1,4 to 1,1 depending on the glazing chosen.

• Softline 82 XXL : Uw up to 0,70 with triple glazing, compatible with passive houses.

These performances are achieved thanks to multi-chamber profiles, thermal breaks and A*4 rated airtightness.

“VEKA sliding doors rival aluminum solutions, while offering superior insulation thanks to multi-chamber PVC.”

A response to current building challenges

VEKA combines industrial innovation , environmental responsibility , and architectural adaptability . Its PVC solutions, entirely designed and manufactured in France, meet the needs of low-energy building projects, passive houses, and energy renovation projects.

With its ability to combine design, thermal performance and recyclability, VEKA has established itself as a key player in PVC joinery on the French and European market.
