Ublo window by Ublo

Dezeen Showroom: large areas of fixed glazing can be opened to allow for ventilation with the Ublo window, created by Korean start-up Ublo.

The Ublo window is a small, circular aperture similar to a porthole that can be cut into unopenable glazing and covered with a lid.

Ublo windows can be placed into existing fixed glazing

This approach allows fresh air to enter interior spaces without making costly, resource-intensive and difficult building alterations such as installing operable frames.

Ublo calculates a safe and optimal placement for the 15-centimetre-wide apertures, which can be opened and closed easily by turning the lid.

Users can request their own aperture placement and frame style, and Ublo can even customise the lids with features such as artwork, plant pots or lighting fixtures.

“We make minimalist windows with the planet and people in mind,” said Ublo CEO Naree KIM. “We aim to reduce both embodied and operational carbon emissions by simplifying the components to minimise the use of frames and create energy-efficient windows.”
