Industry professionals give top marks
Timber window manufacturers from Hungary were invited to learn about new developments in the Roto Patio Inowa tightly sealed sliding system and see for themselves how important components are produced in the Roto plant in Lövő. All of the attendees agreed that it was an interesting event and a good product.
Ernő Kocsis (Factory Manager and Managing Director) and Kornél Mayer (Head of Range Marketing for Southeast Europe) welcomed almost 40 representatives of the timber window industry over the course of two events. Together with his colleague Szabolcs Gosztola from the Application Engineering department, Kornél Mayer explained to the window professionals who travelled to the events how the hardware system for tightly sealed sliding elements has developed recently and what role it can play in timber window manufacturers’ product ranges.
“Exceptionally good”
Zsolt Molnar, Manging Director of Nyugat Ablak from Szombathely, was impressed after the event: “Patio Inowa was presented in a very well-organised format. We were told about the technical details, as well as the features that make Patio Inowa unique for end users. I consider this sliding hardware to be exceptionally good. With this sliding and sealing system, Roto offers us a solution that improves our market position and that we will add to our product range as soon as we have the necessary routing tools. In my opinion, Roto is and will remain a leading hardware manufacturer. Patio Inowa is proof of this, just like the Roto NX Tilt&Turn hardware product range that we already use.
Sound insulation growing in importance
Tamas Eszenyi, Operations Manager at PannonTherm Nyilaszarok in Hajduboszormeny, expects his company to experience a growing demand for timber sliding systems with Patio Inowa: “The system is a perfect match for the requests that we get from the market: large, easy-to-use sliding elements are popular for balcony doors. They should be very tightly sealed and, at the same time, remain fully functional and high-quality without any maintenance for many years thanks to their high level of corrosion protection. Tightly sealed systems are in demand in cities in particular because sound insulation is very important for living comfort there. We see this every day in the showroom at the factory site and in Budapest. Patio Inowa | 400 will help us to meet architects’ and builders’ requests for large sliding elements. And we can offer elements in RC 2 as an option. That’s also important. My trip to Lovő and the work with Patio Inowa will pay off for PannonTherm. I’m sure of it.”
