VBH STOCKS LATEST TILT AND TURN
Hardware specialist VBH now stocks Titan AF, the latest tilt and turn system from Siegenia.
Titan AF is available
in both surface fit and
‘Axxent 24+’ concealed
hinge options, and has
versions to suit PVCu,
timber and aluminium
windows with sash
weights of up to 150Kg.
Titan AF has been designed with the manufacturer, installer and end user in
mind. The hardware clamps
into the Eurogroove prior
to screw fixing and VBH
advises that the ‘click-on’
coupling feature makes the
hardware extremely easy to
fit. The security level can be
easily upgraded from ‘basic’
to RC-1, RC-2 or PAS24 level
by changing just a few components.
The system features KoPiBo roller cams that act as
a standard roller cam or a
mushroom cam depending
on the striker plate used. It
is height adjustable to automatically compensate for
clearance tolerances and expansion and contraction in
the window frame caused
by dramatic temperature
fluctuations. As KoPiBo
cams have a roller action
the closing action of Titan
AF windows is very smooth
regardless of how many
locking points there are.
Each AF window includes
a Sash Lift Roller to ensure
the sash locates into the
frame smoothly and correctly. This, coupled with
the KoPiBo cams, reduces
wear and tear and ensures
that the user enjoys easy
operation even after many
years.
The concealed hinge
solution features Axxent
24+ hinge components.
Axxent 24+’s low stack
height helps overcome air
gap clearance issues but
does not adversely affect
the hinge’s strength. Sashes
weighing up to 150Kg can
