With Profiles, constructions with varying levels of complexity can be designed: windows, doors, balcony doors, hanging facades, commercial shop fronts, constructions with unlimited number of wings, sliding constructions, arches, trapezoids etc.

At every stage of the working process, CCG Profiles allows change of the construction parameters: dimensions, roundings, bevels, beams position, width of the wings.

Materials

The software automatically calculates all materials required for the manufacturing process: profiles, accessories, hardware, glazing; window-sills, rolling blinds, insect screens; length of the arc and bending radius of arches.

CCG Profiles generates a wide range of reports, including: cost price, specification, Bill Of Materials, cutting scheme, glass-packs, arcs, hardware, accessories.
