Hardware & Security

Growing hardware sales demonstrate strength of commercial and social housing markets

» CARL F GROUPCO IS commending an upturn in sales of its tilt & turn and reversible hardware ranges because of what it reveals about the industry more widely .
Julie Warner , Product Manager at Carl F Groupco , said : “ Tilt & turn and reversible windows are popular in commercial and social housing settings . Increased sales of hardware for these types of windows mean more contracts are rolling out , which can only be good news for the industry .”
Volume sales of Carl F Groupco ’ s Roto ranges are particularly strong , in some cases up by over 60 % year on year . Julie commented : “ Many of our customers insist on only
fitting Roto products because of the intelligent functionality their products offer .”
The Roto NT Tilt and Turn Hardware system , for example , is suitable for timber , PVC-U and aluminium profiles of up to 150kg sash weight . The system can be used to achieve the most demanding security ,
operating convenience , durability and design requirements . A wide range of components and accessories makes custom window solutions possible , including additional security features to achieve PAS 24 accreditation and even the option for automation .
Roto ’ s FRH UNI range of reversible window hardware has been designed with multi-storey public , commercial and domestic buildings in mind . The sash and frame details are the same for all window variants , allowing styles to be fitted without changing profile routing and ensuring a uniform aesthetic appearance on all window styles . With additional security features the system can achieve
PAS 24 and can also provide an emergency egress escape opening ( providing building regulations are met ).
Alongside the quality of the products , Carl F Groupco customers also benefit from the strength of the company ’ s relationship with Roto . Carl F Groupco collaborates with the manufacturer on continuous product development , helping to give UK fabricators and installers the hardware features they need . The Roto and Carl F Groupco teams support fabricators through their hardware transition as well as specification , testing , software set up and production optimisation .
