The slimmest Janisol profile, for heritage-style glazing and arched doors.

Overview
Arte 2.0 is Jansen's slimline steel: fixed glazing with a face under 1 in, welded steel half profiles with a glass-fibre-reinforced thermal break, and true divided lites formed by steel bars. It was developed to reproduce historic steel windows and is the system I look at for arched tops, small-format glazing and heritage proportions. It trades some thermal performance and size against Janisol HI. The reference configuration is an arched 42 x 96 in single door weighing about 267 lb.
This is real steel. The slim aluminum systems on my steel-look windows page are a different product: lighter, with a steel-inspired profile. See the real steel windows and doors guide for how the two compare.
Key Highlights
Ideal For
Arched doors and windows, small-format divided-light glazing, renovation work with a heritage elevation, and interior steel partitions in the same section.
Consider an Alternative When
Janisol HI for larger openings and stronger thermal performance; aluminum systems for large panes and budget. Arte is a delicate system and is not meant for big picture windows.
Material
Steel; stainless and Corten per Jansen documentation
Thermal break
Glass-fibre-reinforced plastic between steel half profiles
Basic depth
2.36 in (60 mm)
Fixed-glazing face
From 0.98 in (25 mm)
Vent face
0.79 in (20 mm); meeting stile 2.36 in
Glass thickness
0.8 to 1.85 in
Openings
Doors, side-hung windows, fixed glazing, arched tops
Reference configuration
42 x 96 in arched door, about 267 lb, quoted
Documentation
European (EN) test data; not a US rating. Confirmed per project
Arte 2.0 frames carry higher thermal values than Janisol HI, and double glazing will not meet every northern energy-code path. I compare the numbers against your climate zone and code path before you order.
Sizes are modest per vent. I confirm the maximum for your opening against Jansen documentation before drawings are approved.
European test classes are not NFRC ratings.
Single and double leaf doors with side lights and top lights, and arched or segmental heads.
Side-hung, pivot and fixed windows in a very slim face. Arched windows are possible.
Steel bars form true divided lights on the reference arched door.
Powder coat in a RAL color. Stainless and Corten are documented by Jansen; availability is confirmed per project.
Quoted configuration
These drawings come from a quote I prepared for a US project. The drawing shows the exterior view; the section shows the profile build-up. Sizes, glazing and weights are as quoted. Nothing here is described as built or installed, and names and prices are not shown.
42 x 96 in (1067 x 2438 mm), 8 in arch rise
Single inward-opening door with an arched head and six divided lites, matte black powder coat.
Jansen documents fixed-glazing faces from 0.98 in and vents at 0.79 in, the slimmest in the Janisol range. The exact faces for your elevation are shown on the shop drawings.
Arched glass is cut to the shape of the head and the steel section follows it. Arch geometry and glass lead-time drivers are confirmed per project, so I do not promise a figure.
Arte 2.0 frames have higher thermal values and take thinner glass, so double glazing is typical. If your climate zone or energy-code path needs better numbers, I would price Janisol HI for the same opening.
Yes, arched windows are part of the documented range. Send the drawing and I confirm the system and sizes before you commit.
