Is there a product that sits in the channels in the extrusion, rather than unsightly and cumbersome surface mount? I've seen the round flush contacts but they look too chunky and are probably intended for wooden frames.
Thin/flat magnetic contacts for upvc doors and windows

Wirelessly the slimer products for many manufacturers can hide in some frames easily.
Texecom Micro, Orisec covert, Pyronix nano, but you need to check their dimensions as it can vary from window to window and door to door.
You can get flush mounted hard wired products but requires you to sink them into the frames by drilling holes.

It depends on the gap available. Sometimes you can get the magnet of a standard surface contact into the groove of the opening part and there will be room for the surface contact in the gap between the opener and the fixed frame, like this:
Experiment with some double sided tape to hold things in place before drilling any holes.

have just measured the channel in the extrusion - it's approx 12x12mm. the frames are Rehau and I believe there's a steel core/liner so drilling would be a tricky affair..
I have alwas manage to fit the contact to the fixed frame but on occasions it's been neccasary to take the magnet out of it's housing and bed it in silicon in the groove at the top of the door.
You might need to shave a little bit off the sides of the groove with a Stanley knife to get the magnet in, often there is a little ridge on the sides of the groove which just makes it too narrow for the magnet.
