GIESSE SMART CHIC: The invisible revolution in
smart windows
In the ever-evolving world of smart home technology, Quanex introduces a groundbreaking Giesse innovation that redefines how we interact with our living spaces: GIESSE SMART CHIC. This full system of hardware for aluminium windows is not just smart—it’s invisibly smart. At the heart of its design lies a concealed actuator, seamlessly integrated even into the most minimal window frame, making automation discreet and elegant. With SMART CHIC, Giesse sets a new standard for intelligent living, combining aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.
Smart by Design, Concealed by Choice
GIESSE SMART CHIC is more than a motorised window—it’s a responsive, adaptive system that innovates, perceives, communicates, protects, and adapts. Designed to improve everyday life, it operates silently in the background, enhancing comfort and safety without drawing attention to itself.
The Actuator disappears, even with Minimal Profiles
The actuator, measuring just 17×25 mm, encapsulates the motor, electronics, and gears in a compact form that disappears into the window profile, even the slimmer ones. This minimalist approach goes hand in hand with Giesse’s C.H.I.C. concealed hinges, ensuring that the window remains sleek and unobtrusive: no visible wires or batteries. Even the handle can be removed, for a truly invisible look.
Installer-Friendly and Remote Support
GIESSE has also considered the needs of professionals. A dedicated mobile app guides installers through configuration and testing, streamlining the setup process. Once installed, authorised technicians can diagnose and resolve issues without actually accessing the actuator, reducing downtime and service costs.
Connected Living, Accessibility and Security in a Smart Home
One of the most transformative aspects of GIESSE SMART CHIC is its ability to empower users via seamless integration into pre-existing smart ecosystems. By integrating with Matter protocol and smart assistants like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, users can operate their windows with simple voice commands. This feature brings newfound indepen-dence to elderly individuals or those with physical limitations, allowing them to control their environment effortlessly.
GIESSE SMART CHIC supports controlled access and remote assistance via home automation, allowing family members to open windows from afar. Whether helping an elderly relative or managing a second home, users can stay connected without sacrificing privacy or security. In case of emergencies—such as rain or fire alarms—the window responds to the home security alerts, closing to protect the interior. This invisible layer of protection ensures peace of mind without compromising design.
When connected to a home automation system and sensors, GIESSE SMART CHIC contributes to a healthier indoor environment through intelligent air exchange. Its controlled micro-ventilation allows fresh air to circulate without letting in noise or cold, ensuring acoustic comfort and thermal efficiency. By optimising ventilation and insulation in conjunction with the building’s smart ecosystem, GIESSE SMART CHIC contributes to energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
The Road to the Future
As the first product in an upcoming range, GIESSE SMART CHIC lays the foundation for a complete ecosystem of intelligent solutions, all designed to enhance comfort, security, and sustainability. What sets this future range apart is a shared digital platform, ensuring seamless integration, unified control, more products, including smart sensors, further features and consistent user experience across all GIESSE smart products.
