Sky-Frame Slope by Sky-Frame — 2017 A+Awards Jury and Popular Vote Winner in the Building Products – Windows & Doors category

Slope by Sky-Frame

Slope by Sky-Frame is an incredible sliding window system that appears to defy the laws of gravity. With the ability to install the system with either an inward and outward slope while still satisfying all standard rain drainage requirements, the sophisticated windows generate a distinctive spatial geometry throughout both interior and exterior spaces. It’s no wonder that Sky-Frame Slope stole both the Jury and Popular Vote in last year’s’ Windows & Doors category.
