Window restrictor provides safe ventilation for high-rises
Securistyle has unveiled the new Sterling Advanced Detachable Restrictor – a NYCDoH-accredited window restrictor that provides safe ventilation in highrise commercial buildings .
Designed with safety and security in mind , the window restrictor prevents users from opening the window past a certain distance while enabling them to let fresh air into the room . Its 15.5mm and 13mm brackets have been specifically designed for both standard and slim channels in aluminium profiles . When installed with Securistyle ’ s Sterling or Storm Balanced heavy-duty hinges , it can be used on either top-hung or side-hung vents .
Crucially , the Sterling Advanced Detachable Restrictor has been approved by the New York City Department of Health ( NYCDoH ) for compliance with its falls programme – testifying to its safety when used in highrise commercial buildings such as office towers and hotels .
Suitable for 16mm-18mm hardware cavities , the easyto-fit solution features a crack stop design for a positive stop and a unique locking pin design that enables simple detachment and engagement of the restrictor stay via a key for authorized release only .
Its composite stainless steel and plastic slider provide strength and durability , while its austenitic 304 stainless steel ensures enhanced corrosion resistance .
For added peace of mind , the product comes with a 12-year mechanical guarantee and a 12-year surface finish guarantee . It is also tested to EN 13126-5 for height windows , achieving Grade 1 in impact testing .
Richard Gurmin , Head of Commercial Business Development , comments : “ Our new Securistyle Sterling Advanced Detachable Restrictor combines excellent safety , versatility , and ease of installation . Add to this its NYCDoH-accreditation and the full technical and sales support that we always offer at Securistyle , and it ’ s an outstanding option for aluminium profile companies .
“ The product is the latest in a series of exciting new developments that show our continuing investments in innovation , including our new Yale Mustang window lock and Yale Expede window bracket .”
