    Safe and Secure
    HECO-Schrauben is a byword for safety and reliability in fastening technology across the globe. While it is a badge HECO wears with pride, it brings responsibilities with it. HECO screws are subject to the most stringent quality testing before they are sent out in the world to forge permanent connections. HECO's view of quality is matched by their stance on environmental protection.

    Herrmann's Timber-Frames Homes is the exclusive importer and distributer of HECO products in North America.

Discovering GAULHOFER

Consultation counts. At the GAULHOFER World of Discovery at the plant location in Übelbach, Austria, star designer Stuart A.Veech has created optimal conditions and the perfect atmosphere for a consultation. His peaceful “window-less” window showroom allows you to focus on your own ideas and wishes directly on site. The new GAULHOFER showroom concept will be adapted by several flagship stores in 2011. If you would like to learn more about production at GAULHOFER, which was awarded the “Best of Styria” prize, you can see for yourself how our windows are manufactured by visiting the World of Discovery: Economy, in Übelbach. Discover what makes our windows and doors genuinely GAULHOFER!
CLEARLY GOOD
GAULHOFER NATURELINE and GAULHOFER FUSIONLINE are the avant-garde of the GAULHOFER product development. Superior window technology using 100 % natural materials: a symbiosis of GAULHOFER’s best strategies for creating warm environments and energy saving solutions on an exemplary ecological basis. An overall depth of 92 mm for NATURELINE and 108 mm for FUSIONLINE helps to achieve Uw values that were unknown so far. The wood and wood-aluminum enables implementation of advanced design solutions, including completely concealed security fittings. GAULHOFER unites the advantages of its finest products with new innovations in both of its window types. GAULHOFER is backed by 90 years of experience in the manufacturing of quality windows. NATURELINE and FUSIONLINE are clearly GAULHOFER!
