DO GÓRY
Windows are more than just frames and glass – their functionality and user comfort largely depend on accessories that are not visible at first glance. This is where window fittings come into play, serving as mechanisms for opening, closing and sealing window sashes. Find out what to consider when choosing these elements to make sure they will serve you for years to come.

What are window fittings and what function do they serve?

Before moving on to discuss the criteria for choosing window fittings, let us explain what window fittings are and what function they serve in window joinery. Window fittings  are mechanical elements that make it possible to open and close windows in a variety of ways.

Still, the functions of these inconspicuous pieces go beyond ensuring the smooth operation of window sashes and include the following:

  • enhancing security through anti-burglary features,
  • improving the thermal insulation of window and door joinery,
  • enhancing acoustic comfort by keeping out external noise.

Modern technologies used in the production of window fittings allow for various window opening options: traditional casement, tilt, tilt& turn and sliding systems. This range of options gives users the freedom to choose solutions tailored to their needs. Modern fittings also offer some extra functions, such as micro-ventilation, a system where you can open the window sash just a little to let some air in without losing too much heat.

One of the key functions of fittings for aluminum windows is to enhance the safety of the residents or users of premises. Our anti-pry models are used in burglary-resistant joinery to make access more difficult for potential intruders. Made from high-quality materials, these accessories are also resistant to intensive use, ensuring long-term reliability.

Window and door fittings – what should you consider before making a choice?

To meet the expectations of modern users, we offer high-quality accessories for window joinery. Our handles and fittings are among the most popular solutions used in homes and apartments today.

We strive to make our customers’ lives as comfortable as possible, which is why we offer, for example, concealed fittings, which give modern windows a sleek look without visible hinges. With their ergonomic design, the sashes can be tilted in an easy and effortless way. The option to choose handles with a key adds to the security of your house, flat or office.

Smooth and silent operation – the hallmark of high-quality fittings

Bear in mind that well-designed window fittings should be able to be operated smoothly and effortlessly without requiring much force when opening or closing the windows. High-quality accessories also ensure the silent operation of mechanisms, contributing to greater user comfort. An aesthetically pleasing look is equally important – our fittings are designed to align with the latest trends in window and door joinery.

What are window fittings made of?

Another thing we should mention in this context is the materials used to produce these kinds of accessories. In order to ensure reliable operation, fittings are made from durable and resistant materials such as:

  • stainless steel,
  • aluminum,
  • brass.
