Sky-Frame History

The international success story of a Swiss SME
His passion for tackling technical challenges and developing innovative products prompted him to construct large, flush-fitted and frameless sliding windows that would create unprecedented opportunities for architectural and spatial concepts. By using large-format glass panels, Guhl breathes life into his vision: the perfect symbiosis of functionality, timeless design and Swiss engineering. In 2002, Guhl patented his Sky-Frame system, and the state-of-the-art solution went on to conquer the market. A major breakthrough came in 2010: Sky-Frame became the first-ever thermally insulated metal sliding window to be certified. 

Sky-Frame has established itself among developers and architects as the leading international supplier of sliding window systems and has branches in Switzerland, Vienna, Milan and Los Angeles. The family-owned company makes tailor-made architectural concepts and living spaces a reality around the world and – true to its brand promise – offers its customers “a view, not a window”. Sky-Frame develops and manufactures its premium products in Switzerland. In this way, Beat Guhl demonstrates his connection to the country itself – his home country, where everything began.
