Characteristics of pivot windows
Pivot windows are easy to use. They save space in the interior and are characterized by excellent ventilation properties. They are perfect for rooms with a small area, e.g. bathrooms or attics. They can also be used as lighting in staircases, which, compared to traditional permanent glazing, significantly facilitates their cleaning. Comfortable window operation is possible thanks to GU fittings. These elements enable the construction of large-size structures – round windows with a diameter of more than 2 m and rectangular windows with a width and height of more than 2 m – and a considerable weight of up to 100 kg in the case of round joinery and 175 kg in the rectangular variant.
Due to the specific design features as well as the individual hardware system and the functions of the handle, the window can be turned 180 ° in one movement. An adjustable brake of the sash can be used to keep the sash in the position selected by the user. Pivot windows will also work well in interiors where fast and frequent ventilation is required. Their design causes used air to escape overhead, and fresh air to flow in from below. Thanks to this, you can quickly get rid of moisture as well as unwanted odors.
