Geneo Rau
Geneo® is composed of RAU-FIPRO®, a proprietary fiber composite material similar to those employed in aeronautic construction and racing vehicles for outstanding strength and load capacities. In fact, it is the first fully-reinforced polymer window profile system that doesn’t rely on steel for its strength.
RAU-FIPRO, specially developed for Geneo, affords window construction benefits only imagined before. Geneo does not only provide superior structural integrity but also excels when it comes to thermal and acoustical performance. With the Geneo design, tilt-turn, hopper and fixed configurations are possible.
Top-Performance Ratings for Thermal Insulation, Sound Insulation and Increased Security Since the Geneo profile design is fully reinforced with fiber composite, the use of steel can be avoided and thermal bridges no longer occur. With its center seal and optional thermo-modules, Geneo achieves thermal insulation values up to the stringent passive house standard.
Features / Highlights
- Easier transport and installation thanks to its almost 40% lighter structure compared to standard windows
- Light as a feather opening and closing thanks to the new gasket geometry that reduces the closing pressure.
- Easy-care, extra-smooth and elegant High-Definition-Finishing surface
- Very rich choice of shapes and colors
- Recyclable without harming the environment
RAU-FIPRO profile core
Achieves excellent stability and torsional rigidity making it possible to build larger windows without the typical steel reinforcement that compromises thermal insulation.
Patented integrated reinforcement system
(IRS) Ensures the highest degree of strength at all critical points, using screw channels and additional lateral stiffening.
Six-chambered frame
Provides unmatched thermal insulation, surpassing the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy R-5 Window program and making the achievement of German Passivhaus standards possible.
Compression-seal technology
Reduces closing pressure significantly, making window operation easy and extending the service life. The three seals are strategically located to provide maximum insulation.
High-definition finish
Enhances weather resistance and is very easy to clean due to its exceptionally smooth, luminous properties.

Tilt-turn designs are three window styles in one:
a secure top-venting hopper in the tilt position, an inward opening casement in the turn position and a tightly sealed fixed window when closed.
The REHAU GENEO window design is for the eco-conscious home or building owner serious about energy efficiency:
Our innovative, high-tech RAU-FIPRO material and unique profile design takes REHAU tilt-turn technology to its highest levels of strength and thermal performance, while the 40% lighter profile reduces transportation and installation costs.
 | Thermal insulation U-value down to 0.13 |
 | Acoustic insulation STC up to 45 |
 | Forced-entry resistance Up to Grade 20 (per ASTM F588) without compromising thermal insulation |
 | Ease of maintenance High-definition finish (HDF) is low maintenance and easy to clean – Innovative compression-seal technology significantly reduces closing force |
 | Design freedom Custom architectural shapes and color selection Slim-line profiles with generous glass surfaces |
Save energy easily: With better thermal performance.
Reducing energy usage is important. Not just for your wallet but also on a larger scale when it comes to sustainable building. Lower energy consumption with a good conscience – whether it’s cold or hot outside.

Handle
Protecting your loved ones
The handle is a prominent feature of a window system and it speaks volumes about the engineering developments that lie behind the PVC profile walls.
Beyond opening and closing the sash, a well-designed handle protects your home from unauthorized entry through a window or door. Our desire to increase the intrinsic safety of window and door systems motivated us to introduce the REHAU LINEATM handle design.
The REHAU LINEA design handle
Equipped with a patented Secustik closing mechanism, when a LINEA handle is turned, it is locked with a click.
The connecting element between the handle and the spindle acts as a "mechanical diode." This element ensures the normal operation of the window handle from the inside, and at the same time blocks any attempt to activate the mechanism from the outside.
