GLOUCESTERSHIREbased Teal Products will be heading to the NEC in Birmingham with its full range of openers , actuators and both manual and electric window control systems .
Designed for use in both residential and commercial applications , the Teal Products range allows installers to automate the operation of both windows and rooflights , and even create a smoke ventilation system .
Sam Yiend , Director at Teal Products commented , “ With the increasing demand for our window control systems from installers looking to increase the value of their projects and diversify in a competitive market , the timing is perfect to head to the NEC .
“ We also want to use the platform to answer those trepidations that some installers have which ultimately stop them from taking advantage of both this buoyant market and the consumer-led movement towards ‘ Smart Homes ’. In reality , it ’ s not as complex as they may believe .”
This year , Teal Products has introduced a number of new products ; the new folding arm actuator from WindowMaster , which can open a side-hung window or door to 90-degrees in just 60 seconds , followed by the Micro Evo chain actuator from Mingardi , which can turn an ordinary window or rooflight into an automatic opening device .
