What type of windows are folding openers suited for?
Our folding openers are suited for top hung opening outward and centre pivot outward opening sashes up to approximately 3 metres from finished floor level.
What if the window is above 3 metres from finished floor level?
Windows above 3 metres alongside windows in a deep reveal at lower levels may be unsuitable for opening devices operated by pole. For such windows manual or electric winding gear can act as an alternative.
How can I identify which folding opener I need?
When trying to identify which folding opener is most suitable the following are key points to consider:
- Number of windows requiring openers
- Window material: timber, metal or PVC-U constructed
- Window sash and frame dimensions: is there sufficient material to physically allow the folding opener to be fitted?
- Opening window width and height
- Are the windows at a height from the floor that will allow operation by hand or will pole operation be required?
