Overview
Guillotine Window
Our compact vertically-sliding design allows you to open your windows to their fullest without having to deal with the large swing-area of traditional window styles. The moving panes travel down and nest behind the fixed bottom pane, so the opening appears across the top of the wall. Motorised, and made to measure for the opening you have.
How it works
Closed to the weather. Open to the view.
At the touch of a button the glass drops down out of the way on hidden industrial chains, and the top of the wall opens to the view. Send it back up and the panes lock into the base profile against wind and rain.
The mechanism
Hidden chain drive
Industrial chains carry up to 800kg of glass into position, gently and silently - no motor whine, no mechanism on show.
Interlocking base profile
The profiles lock together and seal tight against draughts and rain, where slimmer domestic windows rattle and let the weather through.
Wind-resistant frame
Heavy-duty extruded aluminium carries tall floor-to-ceiling panes that lighter window systems simply cannot hold.
Why it matters
The difference you feel.
Opening style
The glass travels straight down and out of the way, so you lose no floor or terrace space to a swing arc and the wall opens to the view across the top.
Motorised vertical slide, 1 to 3 moving panes
Load capacity
The system carries 800kg of glass, so you can run tall floor-to-ceiling panes that lighter window systems simply cannot lift.
Max load weight 800kg
Profiles
The reinforced profiles lock together at the base and hold firm in strong wind, where slimmer domestic windows rattle and let draughts through.
