Fittings


The fittings make up a key element of windows, which contributes to comfort of use for years to come. Their task is to maintain proper tightness and enable smooth opening, closing or tilting windows.

Currently, there are turn, tilt, tilt and turn, slide, or tilt and slide solutions available. Selected method of opening should be suitable for a room type and frequency of window use.

In case of small garage window, a tilt window option will be sufficient to ventilate a room. In the living room, an option including opening the window sash works well. Sliding windows are becoming more and more popular in kitchens, as opening them does not require removal of objects from the window.

Windows can be equipped with fittings with a micro-ventilation function, which allows for air exchange in a room without necessity to open the window. This solution has already become a standard feature. By setting a handle in an appropriate position, the window becomes unlocked and tilted to a minimum.

For more demanding users, additional solutions are offered. One of them includes a turn limiter, which allows to decide on the opening angle of the sash, leaving it in place in the event of wind gusts.

The key element of this locking system is an octagonal bolt. It mates with both standard and anti-burglary keeps and allows for easy adjustment of sash pressure to the frame.

This system can be easily extended with additional properties such as a specific RC security class or tilt adjustment.

Individually tailored shape of the keeps and hinges facilitates cleaning and maintenance of all windows.

Why these fittings should be chosen?

Fittings

The octagonal bolt locking system is a perfect mechanism in terms of functionality. It improves the sash pressure and makes it difficult to break through by a burglar.

Fittings

Steel keeps with a plastic washer allow better protection against burglary.

Fittings

Instead of a single position, MSL OS mechanism allows for several positions of tilted sash.

Fittings

Rounded edges of hinges make it easier to keep the window clean.

Hinges in this fitting are entirely contained in the space under sash rebate. Such a design of the fitting makes hinges invisible when the window is closed. It is a pretty big aesthetic value, which allows to freely choose colours and textures of windows and create interiors based on client's preferences. Standard design fittings limit this freedom due to visible hinge covers, available in a small range of designs.

Additionally, windows with invisible hinges provide better thermal insulation parameters. Hinges are fully hidden in a dry chamber between the sash and the window frame, therefore no thermal bridge is created. The seal is maintained on the entire circumference of the sash.

The activPilot Select fitting, fully concealed in a dry chamber, additionally protects windows against freezing by eliminating contact zones with interiors and increases thermal insulation at the same time.

The activPilot Comfort PADK fitting incorporates modern constructional solutions which significantly contribute to safety and comfort of window application, e.g. the sequence of opening, in which tilting precedes full opening.

The distinctive feature of these fittings includes an option to set the sash away from the frame by 6 mm; it allows to minimize heat loss during winter time. When the sash is moved away from the frame by approx. 6 mm, then used heated air escapes upwards and cold air flows downwards slowly spreading evenly throughout the room.

The fitting - equipped with a special locking mechanism - allows ventilation of a room when the window is closed (even in RC2 class).

Safety mechanism - Pre-opening tilt

Fittings

The opening sequence, in which tilting precedes full opening, makes the fitting run smoothly and effortlessly. This solution significantly increases safety, therefore the system is recommended for single- and multi-family houses, nursery schools and senior citizens' homes.

How activPilot Comfort PADK helps save energy?

In rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms, a lot of moisture is generated, which should be disposed of regularly. Otherwise, moisture and fungus are formed on the walls. A parallel action system solves this problem. When the sash is moved away from the frame by 6 mm, then used heated air escapes upwards and cold air flows downwards slowly spreading evenly throughout the room. In case of circumferential gap, rooms are not cooled down and energy losses are significantly lower than in case of application of tilted windows.

With traditional airing through a tilted window (0°C outside), the room cools down by approx. 2°C after 10 minutes, whereas in case of circumferential gap - by 0.5°C only!

An excellent way of weathering for owners of animals such as birds or cats.

Sliding fittings equipped with a parallel sash sliding function from the duoPort PAS frame

The duoPort PAS fitting makes sliding doors even more functional. Parallel sliding of the sash from its frame enables natural, energy-saving weathering of a room. This is made possible by ability to move the sash away from the frame by 6 mm. When the sash is moved away from the frame, then used heated air escapes upwards and cold air flows downwards slowly spreading evenly throughout the room.

The fitting equipped with a special sliding mechanism enables weathering of a room when the window is closed (even RC2 class window); this can be done even in the absence of household members.

Fittings in resistance classes RC1 and RC2 - take care of your safety

We are aware of importance of home safety, which is why solutions related to additional protection of property are becoming more and more popular. Currently, every fourth house under construction has additional protection (better fittings, alarms, sensors, cameras). Burglars look for weak links in the house, through which they can quickly get inside without great effort.

As the statistics show, as much as 48% of burglaries into houses are done through balcony doors and 31.9% through windows. These are also done through exterior doors (12.43%) and basements (7.24%*).

It is extremely important to select proper protection in individual areas of the house.

*According to German police statistics.

Minimize the risk of burglary - select windows that feature an appropriate resistance class!

Balcony windows, terrace windows and large windows on ground-floor level are statistically the weakest link when it comes to the security of our homes. It is these "entrances" that burglars choose most frequently.

Window resistance classes.

Windows with no resistance classes (standard)

In case of windows installed above 1st floor or in case of roof windows, standard fittings or fittings with basic protection (1 safety point) are sufficient.

RC1 resistance class windows

RC1 class burglary resistance windows are equipped with a fitting containing 4 security points (one at each corner of the window), an approved handle with a key and an anti-drilling cover for its fitting system. This solution will protect the windows against burglary with physical force.

RC2 class and above

RC2 class windows are equipped with a special anti-burglary glass (P4A), a fitting in which all locks make safety points, an approved handle with a key and an anti-drilling cover for its fitting system. These elements provide superior level of security, which will protect the window against burglary with use of tools.
