Operating convenience and safety
At this trade show, visitors had the opportunity to experience for themselves the building- and room-specific benefits of various hardware and seal solutions in room situations typically found in private homes or offices, for example. Roto FTT uses this presentation concept consistently at trade shows and in the digital “Roto City”. Tilt&Turn windows, sliding systems and main doors designed to meet a wide variety of different requirements for operating convenience and security in buildings were on show. Whether for PVC, timber or aluminium systems – Roto FTT, Deventer and Ultrafab provide expert support for producing tightly sealed building elements of any opening type with easy-to-install and optimally coordinated components.
For Tilt&Turn in PVC and timber
The “Roto NX | C” concealed hinge side, launched in mid-2024, was showcased in many exhibits and applications in Munich. Conclusion: this hinge side can be used to cater to the trend for very tall, slim windows, as well as for outward opening windows. Featuring V locking cams, a lockable handle and drilling protection, it ensures mechanical burglary protection up to RC 3. With “TiltSafe” strikers for class RC 2 burglary protection, even when the window sash is tilted, “Roto NX | C” offers pleasant ventilation comfort paired with an exceptional design and improved burglary protection. A new load transfer component in the “Roto NX” range makes high sash weights possible.
For Tilt&Turn in aluminium
The scope of applications of the “Roto AL” and “Roto AL Designo” ranges is being expanded in 2025, too. For instance, two concealed hinge sides for aluminium windows will be launched. The new “Roto AL Designo | STS 180°” is also suitable for flush systems and boasts an additional advantage: the sash does not protrude into the room when fully turned open to 180°. Also new and available for delivery soon is the “AL Designo | STS” concealed hinge side for profile versions with a 10 mm profile groove. A new load transfer component for the “AL Designo | STS” hinge side presented in Munich makes it possible to achieve sash weights of up to 130 kg, by far surpassing the previous limit of 80 kg.
For Sliding systems made from any frame material
Each one of the sliding hardware solutions from Roto has its own unique strengths: “Roto Patio Inowa | Max”, launched in spring of 2024, enables very slim, wide sliding windows and sliding doors to be produced in very large formats with sash weights of up to 400 kg. There is now the option to add MVS contacts for electronic locking monitoring to sliding elements with the “Roto Patio Lift | Slim” Lift&Slide hardware. The new, flexibly configurable “Roto Patio Inline | SR” Inline sliding hardware for aluminium systems is as stable as it is robust. The manufacturer emphasises that this new product range makes a cost-efficient yet high-quality technology available.
“All Roto” for external doors
An attractive appearance, burglary inhibition, sealing and operating convenience benefit from the perfect interaction between the many components for external doors available from Roto. The experts at Roto FTT come up with the “perfect match” between multipoint locks, door hinges, thresholds and, for example, glazing seals and drop down seals to meet a customer’s specific requirements. Door manufacturers receive all components perfectly coordinated from one provider – Roto. External doors with these components offer real added value. A double-leafed PVC door with an elegant appearance and featuring the ideal “all Roto” equipment caught the attention of many architects in Munich. Manufacturers of aluminium doors recognised the new concealed turn restrictor from the “Roto Solid” product range as the perfect problem-solver.
Wide product range, global service
Eberhard Mammel strongly emphasised: “If building elements are planned in cooperation with Roto for a building with the appearance and function in mind, as well as the purpose of the room, it is easy to integrate important aspects like security, energy efficiency and operating convenience. This is ensured by our extensive portfolio for building elements of all opening types and frame materials. Even standard versions in the Roto, Deventer and Ultrafab product ranges cover an impressive variety of applications.”
Marcus Sander, CEO of Roto Frank Fenster- und Türtechnologie GmbH, referred to another fundamental pillar in the success of many Roto customers: “With its global development, product and sales network, Roto FTT offers window and door manufacturers unparalleled expertise and comprehensive support. Our customers can build on the consistently high product quality and delivery reliability of Roto, wherever they are in the world. If they want to expand into new markets, we are a strong partner by their side. This is how we create better buildings for a better future in many parts of the world.”
