Architectural Steel Interior System
Maximum transparency.
Maximum transparency.
Minimum visible steel.
forster presto XS is a non-thermally insulated steel profile system developed primarily for elegant interior doors, glazed partitions and fixed glazing.
Its defining characteristic is the exceptionally narrow profile appearance. Fixed glazing can be realised with visible widths from only 23 mm, allowing glazed screens and doors to remain visually light while benefiting from the inherent rigidity and durability of steel.
The system is particularly suited to contemporary architecture, premium residential interiors, offices, hotels, retail environments and the sensitive renovation of industrial or historically significant buildings.

Minimal Steel Architecture
The architectural impact
The architectural impact
comes from what you barely see.
The XS profile concept reduces visible steel to a minimum, allowing glass, light and spatial continuity to become the dominant architectural elements.
23 mm
Ultra-Slim Face Width
A precise steel profile language for filigree doors, screens and architectural interior glazing.
01
Filigree Sightlines
Narrow visible profiles create a refined steel-and-glass appearance with a high degree of transparency.
02
Flush or Recessed Design
Profile combinations allow different visual relationships between door leaf, frame and adjacent glazing.
03
Steel Precision
Steel combines narrow geometries with high rigidity, making it particularly suitable for delicate architectural frames.

Architectural because it is precise.
01
High Rigidity
Steel enables refined profile geometries while maintaining the structural character required for high-quality glazed elements.
02
Timeless Appearance
The slim steel language works equally well in contemporary interiors and industrial renovation projects.
03
Glass-Centred Design
Reduced sightlines allow daylight and visual continuity to remain the principal features of the interior architecture.
