Roto NT slotted window: it's all about the fittings!

Plastic windows have a lot of advantages from aesthetics of appearance to high quality of construction. One of its undoubted advantages is to ensure the tightness of the room, which protects against the penetration of cold, external noise, dust. However, if there is insufficient air exchange, condensation can form on windows and slopes, especially in rooms with high humidity, such as the kitchen. In addition, in the cold season, when it is not comfortable to open the sash completely, micro-ventilation can provide a constant flow of fresh air without creating a draft.

Benefits of Roto NT fittings

note

In addition to slot micro-ventilation, there are also such devices for room ventilation as a comb for a window and a climatic valve. With equivalent functionality, they differ in the type of attachment and capabilities. If micro-ventilation was not built into your windows, then it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with all the options before choosing a mechanism.

Slit micro-ventilation is an indispensable and convenient device for ensuring optimal air exchange in a room, which is especially important in a home with small children, the elderly and in case of respiratory diseases. Different ventilation modes on modern plastic structures guarantee maximum comfort in the operation of windows while maintaining a healthy microclimate in the home.

Disadvantages of Roto NT fittings

It is difficult to find design flaws that are understandable to an ordinary consumer in Roto NT, but they are still there.

• First, the higher price compared to Chinese and Turkish brands. In an unstable economic situation, this is an important factor. Only companies investing in their development can offer products that are competitive in terms of functionality and quality. And this is reflected in the cost.
• Secondly, the standard lower hinges used by most manufacturers have pins that are too small to position the hinges on the frame and sash. But this is not a minus of the design, but of the production technologist, who allows these hinges to be placed on inappropriate windows. Maximum sash dimensions with Roto NT fittings: sash height up to 2400mm, width up to 1600mm, weight up to 130kg. These restrictions do not fully meet the requirements of modern panoramic windows.
• Thirdly, a relatively small range of adjustment for the clamp. But even this "minus" rather shows a poor-quality assembly of the window, rather than speaks of poor-quality fittings in general.

Why does Roto NT fittings pass the baton to Roto NX?

As the world leader in tilt & turn fittings, Roto Frank works closely with its customers. Positive and negative feedback from window companies and consumers allowed the popular model to be finalized and the 6th generation Roto NX hardware was released. The new product eliminates the technical shortcomings of the previous version and provides new opportunities for consumer comfort.

The advantages of Roto NX over Roto NT:

• The maximum dimensions of the flaps are increased: height up to 2800mm, weight up to 150kg. Panoramic windows will work for a long time and without interruption. Large sashes are becoming more and more fashionable, floor-to-ceiling windows are becoming a symbol of comfort and well-being.

• The improved Sil Level 6 coating - even more effective protection in extreme operating conditions, especially the coating at the joints is reinforced. In them, the coating was destroyed in the first place due to increased friction. Roto Sil Level 6 guarantees the highest grade 5 corrosion resistance.
• Built-in micro-ventilation in all folding mechanisms - comfortable ventilation is provided as a basic equipment, and not an additional option.
• Anti-burglary level 2 in tilt ventilation mode due to uniquely shaped striking plates. Leaving home, you can leave the sash in ventilation mode. There will always be fresh air in the house.

The production of fittings is a complex production process. Quality depends on the accuracy of equipment, metal, the level of process automation, personnel qualifications and new developments.

The high quality of German Roto fittings is achieved by constant monitoring of all technological processes. With the new Roto NX hardware, you can install windows of any size: from standard to panoramic, and be sure of reliability and comfort for years to come.

Recommendations

Choose high-quality window fittings that will last a long time and reliably. Metal parts must be periodically cleaned from street dust and dirt, wiped with a special grease from the PVC window care kit.

It is better to entrust the installation of slotted micro-ventilation to professionals, but if you decide to mount the device yourself, then make sure it is correctly located so that ice does not form in winter. The position of the part is adjusted with screwdrivers.
