What it is
Aluminium windows
A thermally broken window and door platform with a 65 mm system depth and its own geometry and configurations.
Role in the project
Genesis 65
Genesis 65 is designed for standard opening types and for projects where the calculations do not call for a deeper Genesis system.
What to consider
Purpose and limitations
Genesis 65 and Genesis 75 have separate specifications. The right system and its price are confirmed for each project.
Clear recommendation
Why choose Genesis 65?
The entry-level thermally broken Genesis systemEconomical
Choose Genesis 65 when you want a straightforward entry point to the Genesis 65–75–90 line: standard opening types, infill up to 55 mm in the sash and a profile depth that the calculations show is sufficient, without stepping up to a deeper Genesis system.
Best for
- Family homes and multi-residential buildings with standard or more demanding energy-performance requirements.
- New builds and window replacements where durability, appearance and a sensibly specified profile matter.
- Projects where thermal calculations show that a frame depth of 65 mm and a suitable glazing unit are sufficient.
Main advantage
The entry-level option in the Genesis family: a modern three-chamber profile, a thermal break and a wide choice of finishes, with a shallower system depth.
When not to choose it
Not the first choice if you are aiming for the passive house standard, have an exceptionally demanding building envelope, or need a very low U-value or the widest range of insulated configurations.
Closest alternative
Genesis 75 is the alternative when you need a balanced step up, and Genesis 90 when thermal requirements drive the whole project.
Price level
EconomicalThe lowest price level of the three Genesis systems – relative to the other two, not a fixed price band.

Key points about the system
The Uf values for the three thermal insulation levels are taken from the manufacturer’s brochure. The value for the assembly offered is confirmed once the profiles and infill have been chosen.
Genesis 65 uses its own section geometry and the technical values that go with it.
Genesis 65 and Imperial have different geometries; their sections are not interchangeable.

Before the final specification
What is the Genesis 65 system?
A thermally broken window and door platform with a 65 mm system depth and its own geometry and configurations.
What is the Genesis 65 system designed for?
Genesis 65 is designed for standard opening types and for projects where the calculations do not call for a deeper Genesis system.
What should you consider when choosing the Genesis 65 system?
Genesis 65 and Genesis 75 have separate specifications. The right system and its price are confirmed for each project.
Is all the technical data the same for every version?
Sizes, glass, hardware, structural calculations, threshold and opening type are confirmed for each individual opening – only then can the system be tailored to your LUMORA project.
