Services
Manual Window Controls
Our manual window control systems enable safe operation of high-level windows through a handle and cable mechanism. Designed for commercial, educational, and residential properties, these cost-effective solutions allow remote opening of multiple windows simultaneously. Systems comply with uPVC, aluminium, timber, and steel window types, offering opening ranges from 250mm to 600mm.
Electric Window Controls
Electric window openers provide automated ventilation solutions for skylights, sliding windows, and hard-to-reach vents. Our battery-powered systems offer remote control operation, ensuring convenience and security for residential and commercial premises while maintaining energy efficiency standards.
Natural Ventilation
We design natural ventilation systems that optimise air exchange without mechanical assistance. These solutions enhance indoor air quality in schools, offices, and public buildings while meeting regulatory requirements for sustainable construction practices and energy efficiency.
Smoke Ventilation
Our smoke ventilation systems provide critical safety features for commercial buildings. Designed to automatically expel smoke and heat during fires, these systems improve evacuation safety and comply with UK building regulations for fire safety compliance.
Sliding Sash Systems
Custom sliding sash window controls use track and cable systems for smooth vertical operation. Ideal for heritage properties and modern buildings, these systems maintain aesthetic integrity while enabling easy operation of traditional sash windows through handle-activated mechanisms.
