Glass first. Frame last.
Imagine your home with floor-to-ceiling glass, uninterrupted views, and a seamless connection between inside and out. Now imagine a window and door system that takes this a step further. Sleeker profiles, larger expanses of glass, and frames so minimal they almost disappear into the architecture. The kind of detail that sets a home apart.
Gutmann’s minimal sliding and pivot systems take architectural glazing to another level, with exceptionally slim profiles, concealed frames and flush thresholds that allow the glass, rather than the joinery, to take centre stage.
As Gutmann’s New Zealand partner, Symonite brings together precision German engineering and local expertise to deliver exceptional window and door systems for high-end residential architecture.
With a history dating back to 1937, Gutmann is renowned for its innovative aluminium systems, combining refined design with outstanding technical performance.
Gutmann Products Available with Symonite Panels
Minimal Frames. Maximum Views.
Designed for homes where every architectural detail matters, Gutmann’s minimal frame systems create expansive glass openings with almost nothing interrupting the view.
With visible meeting stiles as slim as 24.5mm, frames concealed within walls, floors and ceilings, and sliding glass panels reaching up to 6.5 metres high and 3 metres wide, these systems offer remarkable architectural freedom.
Concealed running gear allows even the largest glass panels to move smoothly and almost silently, while flush thresholds create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Quality, Performance and Comfort
Behind the minimal aesthetic is some impressive German engineering.
Gutmann systems combine advanced glazing options, precision-engineered aluminium profiles and tested weather and air tightness to deliver performance alongside architectural design.
Designed to meet the demands of modern architecture, these systems offer the structural integrity, durability and weather resistance required for New Zealand’s varied conditions, including exposed coastal environments.
Design Freedom. Considered Details.
From expansive sliding glass walls and open-corner configurations to statement pivot doors, Gutmann offers the flexibility to create spaces that feel open, connected and uninterrupted.
Concealed tracks, integrated locking systems and carefully considered threshold details allow the glazing to become part of the architecture rather than a separate element.
The result is a refined, understated aesthetic where the smallest details make a significant difference.
