Thoughtful solutions for the chain in the world around window, door and sliding hardware
MACO BENELUX is presenting its latest automation and smart home solutions for windows, doors and lift-slide doors at HOUTPRO+ 2022 but there is more. From November 1 to 4, MACO will present at booth number 6340 in Hall 6.
"We connect": The connection between product, partners and sustainability. A broad term because it stands for sustainable growth, safety, living comfort, mechanical and electronic fittings, partnership but also for the entrepreneurial strength of MACO Benelux: a strong team that connects. We connect: also at Houtpro+.
"Windows that can be practically opened, information on the opening status of windows and doors, doors motorized opening via an app, these are just a few examples of what is increasingly demanded. We will demonstrate door, window and lift-slide innovations but MACO will also showcase itself in the field of sustainability," says Harold Wisselink, Sales Director Benelux of MACO Benelux. We are concerned with today but also with tomorrow.
How does MACO improve the quality of life, for now and in the future? By, among other things, ensuring the comfort of windows and doors for decades and enabling energy-efficient, sustainable building and living. An important contribution. Buildings are responsible for about 40 percent of global energy-related CO2 emissions. For MACO, however, a climate-neutral future does not just start with the product: we integrate sustainable aspects into all production and business processes. "Our second report on the future, which is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, shows the successes and achievements of recent years, but also the challenges facing the entire construction sector and MACO as a company," explains Petra Engeler-Walch, Sustainability Manager of the MACO Group. The 2022 Sustainability Report can be found on MACO's website.
HS28: Well-exposed to detail and fitting into a passive living concept
A beautiful lift-and-slide door offers light and space. When the right materials are applied in the right place, it provides maximum living comfort. Bringing the outside in requires the right components and the right knowledge. Optimal results come from good connection between people and products. And offers resistance to wind and weather up to 600 Pascal!
From hardware, runner, seal, sill to handles: Everything is supplied by 1 supplier. Very practical, because not only the products are delivered, but also the service, which goes with it. From detailed drawings and technical information to good support from our field service. The picture is complete. Our inside and outside sales staff plus our product managers, think along so that the processor can do his work optimally and the resident enjoys comfort and maximum light.
MOVE (SKG2): Affordable luxury for private and public buildings.
A USP is, among other things, the smooth and error-free operation without much effort - even by different users, especially in public buildings such as hotels, for example. The separation of sliding and locking technology makes this possible and distinguishes Move from the competition.
Series production without compromising quality
The optimized sliding system is based on a specially developed profile with a complete covering seal. With parallel pressure and handle control, the sliding door is pressed into the frame and maximum tightness - even in series production - is guaranteed. With Move, luxury becomes the standard and is a beautiful and good alternative to lift-slide hardware that is also optimized in terms of operation. By combining the expertise of both companies, customers benefit from the new system.
Assembly is practical and this is demonstrated by the simple and efficient assembly with standard tools and the high tolerance of up to +/- 5 millimeters. In combination with the MACO Multi-Matic assembly, the central locking system can be freely designed with existing stock parts - this optimizes stock management. All locking points, both handle and center post side, are subsequently adjustable for pressure and height. These pre-adjustment/adjustment options also function perfectly after loading and transport and save time when assembling the elements on site.
At the door, the emphasis is on motorized opening, controlled by access control systems or via an app and the latest innovation: INSTINCT by MACO.
With PROTECT multi-point locks, MACO offers all options of locking: from semi-automatic (Z-TF) and automatic (A-TS) to fully motorized operation (M-TS). Their light and quiet operation is unique in the market. Like MACO's Z-TF door lock, the A-TS and M-TS feature the proven 3-day bolt technology. It guarantees uniformly high contact pressure and thus closes the door precisely and tightly - over the entire door height. This guarantees years of smooth and comfortable closing and opening. This technology also protects against door deformation, drafts, moisture and heat loss, noise and noise.
A-TS: Self-locking automatic lock
With the A-TS, it is enough to pull the door closed to lock it automatically - without a key. Once locked, the door is secure and does not need to be re-locked. All you have to do is operate the handle from the inside. With the A-TS, after-locking over the cylinder is only necessary to prevent children or pets from leaving the house undetected. In this case, the door can be opened with the key from both inside and outside.
In addition to the mechanical-automatic variant, the A-TS is also available in combination with a motor. The A-TS with electric latch bolt (e-opener) allows for daytime setting: by simply moving a latch in the faceplate, the door can be opened from the outside without a key. This is an advantage when working around the house or when children walk in and out. The main latch remains active and ensures that the door remains locked even in a gust of wind. The motorized version is easy to implement by adding a motor and can be combined with access solutions such as Fingerprint, Keypad, transponder or smartphone for easy unlocking.
A unique feature of the A-TS is the functional separation of press-on pressure and latching. The activation of the lock depends on the operation of the central latch bolts and the magnetic activator. Once the correct position of the door leaf is assured, two hooks and the steel deadbolt automatically slide out. And the door is safely triple-locked - without turning a key. The A-TS is designed for demanding house and apartment dwellers who want to combine security with convenience and attractive design.
M-TS: the fast and silent motor lock
With the fully motorized M-TS lock, MACO opens up a new market segment by intelligently combining mechanics and motorization. As with the A-TS, the tightening pressure is realized by the three-bar bolt; the motor is used only for locking the two hooks and the deadbolt. The motor is placed directly in the main latch box and is therefore quieter and faster than conventional motor solutions. In addition, standard cylinders can be used - a freewheeling cylinder is no longer required. This makes the M-TS extremely attractive in terms of competitiveness.
Convenient unlocking is done via access control or via day mode setting, activated via a wall switch or the MACO app. With integrated lock monitoring, it can be combined with commercially available smart home systems. Moreover, like the A-TS, the M-TS is suitable for RC-2 to RC-3, - depending on the door system - and uses the same range of (MF-HO platform) locking components. It complies with DIN EN 14846 and the QM 342 certification program. All Protect door locks are suitable for installation in wooden, plastic and aluminum doors.
INSTINCT Revolution: multi-point locking without a cylinder lock
After 150 years of continuing development of the cylinder lock, MACO sets a milestone in history with
INSTINCT by MACO. Individual, up to eight exclusively motor-controlled locking elements can be flexibly installed in the door and, thanks to their low installation depth of only 20 millimeters, can be accommodated both in the door leaf and also in the door frame. This compact design allows the system to unfold its potential: motorized components can also be installed on the frame side. The INSTINCT electronic locking system offers an excellent opportunity for differentiation on the market. It represents new door shapes and architectural requirements as well as fast and lean logistics, maximum processing flexibility, minimum milling effort and easy assembly.
MULTI SECUAIR: Secure ventilation for greater comfort
Leaving the house feeling safe when the windows are in tilt position - MACO creates this feeling of well-being with the MULTI SECUAIR secure ventilation position, which ensures safety and energy-efficient ventilation at a reduced tilt position of up to 10 mm. It meets the requirements of a modern lifestyle, as it ensures continuous ventilation and a constant climate during long absences or with the increasing airtightness of the home. When Multi SECUAIR is combined with a lockable handle - like the one from MACO - the solution is even equipped and tested for burglary resistance class SKG2 and RC 2. Another big plus is that the hardware holds up in both tilt positions in the event of drafts or gusts of wind.
E-Fittings: Drive for automatic window operation
Just what is possible in terms of motorization at the window proves the E-fittings 2.0. Powered by an electric motor, the hardware enables natural living space ventilation via a tilt position for tilt-turn windows and can also be integrated into any home and building automation system. With these features, the window adapts to the occupants' new living habits and is extremely practical to use: The window can be easily tilted motorically via a pulse switch and still remain operable via a handle.
Primat kompakt 195 fanlight opener for specific requirements
The intelligent solution for opening overhead and gable windows is called PRIMAT kompakt 195 from HAUTAU. The narrow electric fanlight opener is suitable for narrow profile constructions. Its compact dimensions allow a wide spectrum of aesthetic design options, and the variable electronic setting for stroke and speed makes it an individualist. Its small size and absolutely silent appearance make it a popular companion where aesthetics and low noise level are of great importance. Its digital interface in combination with a WLAN box or LAN module enables versatile integration into smart home and smart building solutions.
SKG3 window: strong connection
Maximum security is a basic need. The degree of safety comes about through good cooperation between hardware and the wood system. MACO's role goes beyond its own products. Naturally, we are proud of the SKG*** certificate, which can be found at https://www.skgikob.nl/sterrenwijzer/sterrenwijzer-overzicht.html?tx_skgcertificates_pi1%5Bcertificate%5D=18680. Through cooperation in the chain, together we ensure maximum security. The Houtpro+ features a window entirely in accordance with SKG3 guidelines. Get connected forsafety and comfort at the highest level. Through the team at the Dutch site in Zelhem, MACO ensures that products meet Dutch safety requirements.
In addition to high-quality internal testing, extensive testing at independent institutes is also carried out before taking an important step: cooperation with MACO partners. This ensures that the total package in terms of safety, is correct. It is a synergistic effect with the result that safety is raised to a high level.
The seal of approval provides recognition for the user and a sense of maximum security. MACO not only offers safe total hardware systems but thinks along in the total concept for window, lift-slide and door. Thus, together with our partners, we can distinguish ourselves in the market.
Multi Power with carrying bar SKG2
Concealed strength for large windows with Multi Power, for both wood and plastic, carries a maximum weight of 180 kg for door sizes and 150 kg for windows. This fully concealed hinge with high load capacity leads to very good thermal insulation and burglary resistance. The fully concealed hinge is synonymous with a new generation of turn-and-turn hardware technology.
The support rod transfers the full weight of the wood or plastic window to the frame, thus relieving the corner bearing. The simple installation concept, ensures that the window can be hung without difficulty. This system offers many advantages because large and heavy window elements are made easy to operate and also comply with SKG2 security.
eTronic and mTronic: Partners in window detection
mTronic and eTronic are the ideal partners for window control, both on site and on the road. The eTronic detects: open or closed. The eTronic has an extremely long battery life and is therefore a reliable partner for alarm systems and automatic status messages.
Like its big brother mTronic, eTronic is versatile: Thanks to the EnOcean sensor and its innovative mode of operation, it is not only wireless, but can also be easily installed independently of the hardware and at any later time - in any profile and any material. In this way, windows can also be retrofitted for use in smart homes.
Its easy installation and affordable price make it an attractive solution for a wide range of applications on any window - in kitchen, living room or bedroom - both in private and commercial construction, when many windows need to be controlled. Thus, a solution for versatile use in residential and commercial construction.
If you want to monitor tilt windows on the first floor in addition to the eTronic, combine the eTronic with the mTronic. This also monitors the tilt position and additionally reports via smartphone if someone tries to enter without permission.
