The standard Tilt & Turn window has two anti-theft hooks and blockage in case of wrongful usage of the handle. It also lowers the risk of break ins.
The micro ventilation standard for windows and the anti-latch lock increase the comfort of use. Optional, richly equipped.
Anti-burglary fittings increase protection against burglary by using the fittings in class RC1 or RC2, as well as IFT Rosenheim certified anti-burglary joinery (stolarki) in class RC2 or RC2. TBT (Tilt Before Turn) fittings’ name comes from the order of its settings: closed, tilted and opened positions. Changing the opening sequence is beneficial when we want to stop the window from unintentional opening: in kindergartens, schools or hotels. Hardware with Topcoat coating is another example of the adaptation of fittings to unusual conditions. TOPCOAT is a new type of galvanic coating resistant to aggressive chemicals and environmental influences that cause corrosion. The fittings are made of high quality steel and covered with a 3-layer coating (zinc layer + passivation + Topcoat). The coating provides not only increased corrosion protection but also high resistance to scratches, water and dirt. The coating is also recommended for windows installed in coastal areas.
RC1 BURGLARY RESISTANCE CLASS.
The anti-burglary hardware with RC1 burglary resistance class provides protection against forced entry (kicking, hitting, pulling out) by applying additional protection to each window corner and using a key lock handle.
RC2 BURGLARY RESISTANCE CLASS.
The anti-burglary hardware with RC2 burglary resistance class improves protection against burglary with the use of force or tools. The window hinders entrance into the house through appropriately spaced mushroom striker plates, a key lock handle and the special P4 glass.
Window hardware
In the world of window joinery, we often focus on the aesthetics of the frame or the quality of the glass, overlooking one of the key components – window hardware. It is these elements that determine how efficiently and safely our window will operate.
What is window hardware?
Window hardware refers to a set of metal components installed in the window frame, responsible for its opening, closing, tilting, or tilting and turning. The hardware includes hinges, locks, handles, bolts, and anti-burglary mechanisms.
Why is it worth investing in high-quality hardware?
Safety – sturdy hardware secures the window against burglary attempts, providing a sense of security for the residents. User comfort – high-quality hardware ensures smooth and quiet operation of the window for many years. Energy efficiency – well-fitted hardware ensures perfect adherence of the window sash to the frame, minimizing the risk of drafts and heat loss. Aesthetics – modern hardware is discreet and elegant, not disturbing the appearance of the window. Types of window hardware
Depending on the needs and type of window, different hardware systems are available:
- Tilt-and-turn hardware – allows the window to be tilted for ventilation as well as fully opened.
- Anti-burglary hardware – equipped with additional security features that make it difficult to force the window open.
Window hardware is not just metal elements installed in the window. It’s the key to its functionality, security, and durability. When choosing windows for your home or apartment, it’s worth paying attention not only to the type of glass or profile but also to the quality of the hardware. After all, it is the hardware that determines how long and trouble-free we will enjoy our windows.
