Caiframe Windows

What Caiframe Windows does

Caiframe is an Italian manufacturer of premium custom windows and doors, founded in 1970 in Marsciano, Umbria. The company produces a comprehensive portfolio across four material categories — wood, wood-aluminum, wood-bronze, and PVC — alongside the Skywall curtain wall system in three material variants. Caiframe serves luxury residential projects, hospitality, historic building restoration, and selective enterprise clients across Italy and internationally, with completed projects in the United States, Spain, Qatar, Iran, Greece, Israel, and the UAE. The company is privately held as CAIFRAME SRL with no disclosed equity funding and no parent company.

The product range includes wood-aluminum windows (Ray, Evolve, Solid, Royal), wood-bronze windows (Aeneus), wooden windows (Dual, Dual Slim, Diamante, Termik 80 Slim, Visual, Vecchi Tempi), PVC systems (Schüco FocusIng and Schüco LivIng distributed under partnership), and Skywall curtain walls in wood, wood-aluminum, and wood-bronze variants. Core technology centers on laminated timber frames with aluminum or bronze cladding, robot-applied glass sealing, structural gluing, and a portfolio of proprietary systems: TPP® multi-stage wood protection, SHARK® TPE sealing, Fix Plus® and Total Block® anti-burglary hardware, Total Protection System, and Domotech® smart home integration. Quoted performance specifications reach Uw as low as 0.9 W/m²K, acoustic insulation up to 50 dB, and RC2 burglary resistance certification, with glass thickness up to 66.5 mm in the Aeneus wood-bronze model.

Caiframe operates a hybrid go-to-market combining an authorized partner retailer network (Caiframe Partner) across Italy with direct project sales for international and large-scale installations. Pricing is quote-based for custom products, with a smaller professional services revenue stream from paid technical assistance via authorized C.A.T. centers (€50 call-out fee + €35/hour labor, published on the website). The company targets architects, designers, and building professionals through a dedicated Partner program offering technical consultation, CAD support, and co-marketing materials. International growth is supported by EU regional development funding (PR-FESR 2021-2027) under the dedicated Caiframe USA initiative, with internationalization into Spain, Qatar, Iran, Greece, Israel, and the UAE occurring on a project basis.
