About

A European manufacturer with history. An American company at the door.

Yakaza has manufactured aluminum architectural systems for more than twenty years, exporting to over fifty countries. Production is in Tekirdağ, Türkiye, and Plovdiv, Bulgaria — inside the European customs union — with management in Amsterdam. Türkiye is among Europe's largest producers and exporters of extruded aluminum, and the group's systems are built to the standards that market demands. The group also runs its own 12,000 m² glass plant at Çerkezköy, so frame and glazing are made and matched under one roof.

The work is project-based. Every order is engineered from the customer's drawings — profile, glazing, finish, hardware — rather than selected from stock. That is what makes a pivot leaf of 2.5 by 5.5 meters, or a bifold across a full-width opening, a normal request rather than a special one.

Yakaza USA brings that build to American projects. It is a division of WDesignè Inc, a Brewster, New York construction and millwork company with over 35 years in the tri-state area. Import, delivery, project management, warranty and service are handled from Brewster. You deal with one company, in New York, from the first drawing to the last adjustment.

System characteristics

  • Entrance doors: RC3 burglar resistance as standard; foam-filled insulation zone; 3-point or 5-point multipoint locks; butt or concealed hinges; continuous low threshold of 13 mm (1/2") for stability, water tightness and thermal performance. Sash to 1.1 m wide × 2.5 m high (3'7" × 8'2").
  • Pivot doors: single-leaf openings to 2.5 m wide × 5.5 m high (8'2" × 18'0"), rotating on a central pivot; large glazed panels in lightweight frames; any color or finish.
  • Sliding and lift-and-slide: interlocking section from 43 mm (1 11/16") face width for maximum transparency; ground-level flat threshold of 25 mm (1"); sash units to 3 × 3 m (9'10" × 9'10"); perimeter EPDM gaskets; multipoint lock with anti-lift; triple glazing possible in wide frames.
  • Bifold: high-insulation folding system with hardware developed for folding doors; special hinge with integrated handle; opens inward or outward on the same profiles; even numbers of leaves (2, 4, 6…).
  • Pivot: six named designs — Cyrus (mirrored glass), Luther (shield-form plate), Lucas (see-through glass), Jesse (real onyx with LED), Hector (distressed aluminum), Keith (wood veneer). Threshold 7 mm (1/4"). Double leaves opening to 4 m (13'1").

Curtain wall

Types
Stick (classical)
Unitized (silicone)

Facade systems that control air and water infiltration with fewer mullions than window-wall construction, improving thermal performance and reducing UV penetration.

System characteristics

  • Stick system: components assembled piece by piece on the structure. Suited to low-rise buildings and smaller areas; allows on-site adjustment.
  • Unitized system: panels pre-assembled in the factory and installed as complete units. Suited to high-rise; no external cranes or scaffolding required.
  • Fire-resistant doors and windows EI30 / EI60 / EI90 and bullet-resistant systems BR1–BR7 to EN 1063 are available for projects that require them.
