Roto Inside | 6.2013 | 1 # edition 24 Partner and employee information of the Roto window and door technology division Roto Patio PS Moving parallel Opening&Sliding elements comfortably ■ New at Roto If you really care not only about the ease of operation, security and functionality of your parallel sliding elements but also their aesthetics, you will love Roto’s new Patio PS.This innovative system is suitable for parallel Opening&Sliding windows and doors with a sash height of up to 2.35 metres and a sash weight of up to 160 kg. With the new Patio PS, the sashes aren’t tilted. Instead, the sashes parallel retract and slide to the side – ideal for space-saving balcony or terrace doors or windows. An innovative spring damper unit allows comfortable, almost force-free opening and closing of even heavy sashes. A spring located in the rear bogie stores the energy that was applied when opening the window sash. Upon closing, this energy is released and pulls the sash back into the frame. No pushing is required. The large, durable rollers ensure particularly smooth and pleasantly quiet running of the sash. ■ Timber Page 4 Poland: Window refurbishment in Palace Wilanów ■ New at Roto Page 6 Germany: Roto with GGT in the growth market of the 50-plus generation ■ PVC Page 7 Spain: Successful window exchange initiative in Madrid ■ Event Page 9 Roto Schau-Fenster: Photo competition shows window construction at its ﬁnest New scissors-slider Our newly developed, controlled Patio PS scissors-slider also comes with an integrated spring mechanism, which ensures smooth entry of the sash when closing and pulls the sash into the desired position. The integrated damper prevents any jamming. The system is easy to install and suitable for timber, timber/ aluminium and PVC profiles, and can even be used in standard Tilt&Turn window profiles. Due to the large retracting distance of 125 mm, the hardware is also suitable for window systems with triple glazing. Patio PS covers 98% of all possible sash thicknesses. Air exchange and security thanks to routinely installed night ventilation The Roto Patio PS contributes to a healthy living environment and prevents mould from growing and overheating of rooms in summer. This is thanks to efficient night ventilation utilising profile-specific strikers. The standard version (RC1) comes with four night ventilation strikers for an uninterrupted air exchange across all sash edges. Security class RC2 can be achieved when further strikers are used, both in the night ventilation and closed sash position. In contrast to a tilted sash, the night ventilation position is hardly discernible from outside, which increases the level of burglary protection even further. All the components of the Patio PS are manufactured from extremely robust materials and ensure high stability. Routinely installed security mushroom cams and strikers, a circumferential central locking system and continuous gaskets make the parallel Opening&Sliding elements not only safe but also reliably impermeable. Discreet = Perfect The discrete, slim cover caps help to achieve an aesthetically discerning window and door design. Like all other visible components, they are available in five colours. In addition, the Patio PS brings a lot of light into your room, because even very slim profiles can be realised easily. The window frame measurement of 36.5 mm ensures a low threshold height and thus, an easy, almost level passage. ■ New at Roto In April of this year, Roto Frank AG took over the Brazilian hardware manufacturer Fermax.The company has comprehensive production and product range expertise for the specialist products required in the region.
