aluPilot Enhancements Alastair Wheeler - Aluminium Systems Manager at Winkhaus commented “aluPilot’s modular system approach already provides system designers a variety of options to meet the requirements of Approved Document M (ADM) Lifetime Homes, now further expanded with the introduction of these additions to the range. The first, aluPilot Comfort OBALK, allows variable handle positioning, including for users who need a lower operating position that meets the design requirements of Part M of building regulations. The second launch is Child Safety OBALKS, a new 100mm safety restriction solution incorporating two turn modes and tested to EN 13126-5, ideal for multiple applications across our customers projects, including apartment balconies.” For further information and to learn more about the added value products, services and solutions Winkhaus UK provide for aluminium system houses and fabricators, please visit [www.winkhaus.co.uk/ en/] or contact marketing@winkhaus.co.uk
formats and weights: The standard version carries up to 200kg, with tandem bogies the maximum sash weight is increased to 250kg. Like all Winkhaus systems, primePort AS is also designed to be user-friendly. The central locking system can be configured from the activPilot modular system, supplemented by a few additional elements. Thanks to the roller-guided closing mechanism, the window can be operated with little effort. The low number of coupling points simplifies installation. The primePort AS can optimise the functionality and security of the sliding element with an additional comfort component. The “Softclose” function ensures a convenient pull-in for the retract-slide fitting. This ensures that the sash closes smoothly to the desired position. Thanks to the individual arrangement of the frame part, the Softclose feature can also be converted into a safety stop function. The “Safetystop” function includes braking the sash in the desired position. This can prevent injuries such as trapping limbs.
