The Proyectante system is not yet implemented. Selecting it in the application displays a “coming soon” screen. No configuration or calculation is available at this time.
Proyectante is a planned window system for top-hinged aluminum sashes that pivot outward from the upper edge. The sash projects away from the building at an angle controlled by friction hinges or a stay arm, directing incoming airflow upward along the ceiling — a desirable property in offices, classrooms, and bathrooms where drafts at occupant level are undesirable.

Planned behaviour

When implemented, the Proyectante configurator will accept the opening dimensions and calculate:
  • Top hinge profile and quantity based on sash width
  • Outer frame perimeter cut list
  • Sash profiles with bottom-rail reinforcement
  • Stay arm or friction hinge specification by sash weight and projection angle
  • Glass light dimensions accounting for top-hinge clearance
  • Handle or tilt bar hardware for operating the sash from below

Characteristics

Opening direction

The bottom edge projects outward; the sash pivots around the top horizontal rail.

Ventilation control

Incoming air is deflected upward, avoiding cold or rain-laden drafts at head or torso height.

Rain resistance

The outward projection acts as an awning, allowing ventilation to remain open during light rain.

Use case

Offices, classrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where controlled upper ventilation is preferred.
A batiente is hinged on a vertical edge and swings open like a door. A proyectante is hinged on the top horizontal edge and the bottom projects outward. The proyectante offers ventilation without obstructing the space in front of the window, which makes it suitable for narrow clearances such as above a kitchen worktop.
Projecting the sash outward from the top causes warm interior air (which rises) to exit near the ceiling while fresh outdoor air enters along the deflected sash and moves upward — improving thermal comfort without creating a draught at seated or standing height.

Use in the meantime

For current window configuration needs, use Sistema Nova, which is the only fully implemented system in MediPro.

Sistema Nova

Fully implemented aluminum window configurator with automatic profile calculations, glass sizing, and accessory counts.
