Skaala’s unique and advanced product innovation: the Arvo window with hidden hinges meets customer demands.
Skaala’s Arvo windows (Arvo = value, valuable in Finnish) are an energy-efficient and stylish choice for your home! The popular Arvo collection includes three window models in different energy-efficiency classes: Arvo+, Arvo, and Arvo 1.0.
Arvo windows are an excellent fit for Nordic homes thanks to their optimal insulation performance. In addition to their elegant appearance, the superior ease of use of Arvo windows makes everyday life easier.
The advanced features of Arvo windows offer not only a stylish appearance but also superior user convenience that simplifies daily life: Hidden hinges are stylish and the window can be easily opened with just one handle.
Skaala’s CEO Antti Hautapakka says that the Arvo window with concealed hinges meets the wishes expressed by customers.
– We constantly ask customer feedback and requests regarding product features from the market. The need to develop an energy-efficient, stylish, and user-friendly Arvo window model arose purely from customers. Behind the product development is our dedicated product development team, supported by the entire group, explains Hautapakka.
Arvo is an extremely energy-efficient, stylishly finished, and user-friendly window model.
The Arvo window features stylish hidden hinges, meaning there are no visible hinges on the inner sash. This makes the Arvo window the choice for residents who value style. Durable concealed hinges maintain their integrity for decades.
Concealed hinges also make the window easier to clean, as the hinges are hidden inside the frames. This allows the frames and sashes to be easily wiped clean, keeping the windows in neat condition.
The Arvo is the choice for residents who value style.
Traditional Finnish type two sash & inwards opening windows have several separate locks that need to be opened one by one to get the window open.
The Arvo windows feature a frame-structured locking mechanism that operates with a single fixed handle. With the new mechanism, opening the window is light and easy.
Similarly, closing the window is effortless with a single handle, and no individual lock can accidentally be left open. The frame structure ensures that even a large window locks tightly and maintains its energy efficiency.

The energy efficiency of the four-glass Arvo+ window is one of the best on the market (U-value 0.57). Triple glazed Arvo and Arvo 1.0 meet the building starndards.
Additionally, the window features highly soundproof glass and high solar protection, which enhances living comfort and reduces the need for cooling.
Arvo window is made from high-quality materials: a high-quality wood-aluminum structure and aluminum exterior frames that last for decades. Aluminum is perfectly suited to Finland’s variable weather conditions.
The inner sash of the window is made from finger-jointed, PEFC-certified knot-free wood, making the Arvo window not only durable and energy-efficient but also visually appealing.
The materials of the Arvo window together make it an excellent choice for both energy efficiency and durability.
All Skaala windows, including the new Arvo+ window, are custom-made. Accessories can be selected according to individual needs.
For the Arvo window, Sani automatic blinds and stylish Suvi fresh air vents are recommended.
The Suvi fresh air vent is a solution for renovation projects where the replacement air is planned to be taken through the windows. Sani blinds, on the other hand, are perfectly suited for both new constructions and renovation projects.
The Suvi fresh air vent, finished with stylish design, was developed at the request of customers.
“There was a clear need from customers for a stylishly designed fresh air vent, as traditional fresh air vents are not usually the most aesthetically pleasing,” explains Hautapakka, providing background on the product development.
The Suvi fresh air vent not only looks good, but it is also a technologically advanced product. The structure of the fresh air vent ensures that the right amount of fresh air enters the room in a controlled manner.
The Suvi fresh air vent supplies fresh air into the room in a controlled and unobtrusive way.
Skaala’s most innovative new product this fall is the solar-powered Sani automatic blinds. These automatic blinds harness energy from the sun through a solar panel located at the top of the blinds.
The blinds can be easily adjusted using a remote control or programmed to operate according to a specific time or light level. The solar-powered blinds have been proven to work effectively even during the darkest months in Finland: “We have tested the Sani automatic blinds in Southern Ostrobothnia for over a year, and the solar-powered automatic feature works excellently even during the darkest winter months.”
The Sani automatic blinds can be programmed to rise and lower based on the light level or a specific time.
