White Wooden Frames with ‘Gendarme Hat’ Arch – Etterbeek

For this residence located in Etterbeek, Abihome has completed the manufacturing and installation of custom white wooden frames, perfectly suited to the classical architecture of the building.

The project is distinguished by the presence of windows with a genuine 'gendarme hat' arch, a specific shape that requires precise manufacturing to faithfully respect the proportions and aesthetics of the openings. This solution allows for the preservation of the architectural character of the facade while integrating modern and efficient joinery.

The glazing is also equipped with decorative mullions, providing a traditional and elegant finish that highlights the style of the windows.

The choice of painted white wooden frames helps to maintain the authenticity of the residence while benefiting from the excellent thermal and acoustic insulation performance offered by this natural material. Wood is indeed recognized for its insulating qualities and warm appearance, making it ideal for frames replicated in character buildings.

This achievement includes:

• Manufacturing and installation of custom white wooden frames
• Genuine 'gendarme hat' arch
• Decorative mullions for a traditional style
• Respect for the original architecture of the residence

The result enhances the facade and brings brightness and elegance to the interior spaces, while ensuring comfort and energy performance.

👉 A realization that illustrates Abihome's expertise in manufacturing and installing custom wooden frames in Brussels and its municipalities.
