Rehau Geneo — Composite Engineering

RAU‑FIPRO®

The glass fiber composite born in aerospace and used in Formula 1.
Today, at the front of your home.

Origin

Designed for where failure
was not an option.

REHAU developed RAU‑FIPRO® for applications where ordinary materials are not enough: aeronautical structures, Formula 1 components, engineering at the absolute limit of what matter can do.

Decades later, that same composite technology forms the core of your Dorli door — without a single steel rod, without thermal bridging, without compromise.

Profile Architecture

6 chambers.
No steel. All the performance.

The cross-section of the Rehau Geneo profile reveals 6 hermetically sealed air chambers — each an additional thermal shield. The walls are made of RAU‑FIPRO®: the composite provides the structure, the air provides the insulation.

Uf of the Rehau Geneo RAU‑FIPRO® profile

This is the thermal transmission value of the profile frame alone — an absolute record for a PVC profile, made possible by the absence of steel reinforcement and the 6 sealed air chambers.

By comparison, a standard PVC profile with steel insert oscillates between 1.3 and 2.0 W/(m²·K). The Geneo outperforms most solid wood profiles.

Glazing Systems

Clarity or security.
Both with WarmEdge.

Every Dorli glazing is assembled with a WarmEdge warm-edge spacer — eliminating the peripheral thermal bridge and reducing condensation at the glass edge.

WarmEdge — The warm-edge spacer

The WarmEdge spacer reduces thermal conductivity at the glazing perimeter by 55% compared to a classic aluminum spacer (ψ ≤ 0.034 vs 0.075 W/(m·K)). Result: less condensation, less heat loss, an overall improved door Ud value.

Overall performance — Complete door (Ud)

The whole door, not just the profile.

The Ud measures the door as a whole: frame, panel, glazing, spacers. That’s the number that matters in your energy audit. Here are the Dorli values by configuration.

The world’s most demanding standard. Dorli full panel: Ud = 0.75

Compliant — PNL config.

The Passivhaus config. (Ud 0.75) is achieved with the full opaque panel without glass insert.
The standard glazed config. (Ud 0.87) exceeds BBC, RE 2020 and RT 2012.

The standards don’t stop at the design.

Our doors are designed with a high-performance composite structure, built to last over time, resist climatic variations and maintain exceptional dimensional stability.

To fully preserve these qualities, rigorous installation is essential.

That is why we recommend installation with complete removal of the existing frame.

This method allows complete integration into the masonry, optimal sealing and lasting stability — particularly in environments exposed to strong thermal variations.

A premium door deserves an installation at the same level.

The technology is here.

Your door is only waiting for you.
