'No more risk of a window opening uncontrollably'

Innovative opening limiter combines safety, comfort and ventilation

In a market where comfort, security and energy efficiency weigh increasingly heavily when choosing hardware, SIEGENIA comes up with a well-thought-out solution: the TITAN opening restrictor 90°. This innovative component of the TITAN program combines controlled window opening with a high level of security and easy operation. "Especially now that windows are becoming higher and heavier, this ingenious opening restrictor offers a solution," says SIEGENIA technical coordinator Marten van Dijk.

The TITAN opening restrictor 90° is designed to safely limit the opening of windows to a 90-degree angle. "This prevents a window from swinging open too far, permanently protecting the hinge side in addition to sash and rebate," Van Dijk says. "This is because the opening restrictor cushions the sash and gently locks it in the end position. This protects the sash from collision with the rebate or with furnishing objects. This makes this opening limiter particularly suitable for heavily loaded window elements, especially in public buildings such as schools and hotels."

Easy mounting

The opening restrictor is fully integrated into SIEGENIA's proven TITAN hardware system. "For processors, this means that installation is simple," Van Dijk continues. "The hardware is suitable for wooden and plastic windows and can be applied without additional milling or special machining. In addition, the system can be used for both left and right turn directions, which significantly increases flexibility on the shop floor."

Use Safety

A common challenge in window design is combining ventilation options with burglary protection and user security. The TITAN opening restrictor 90° responds directly to this, Van Dijk knows. "First, this opening restrictor can be combined with an RC2- or SKG-certified window, providing additional security in terms of burglary prevention. Second, thanks to the controlled opening angle, effective ventilation can be achieved without the risk that a window will open or close uncontrollably in wind or anyway. Especially now that windows are becoming higher and heavier, this ingenious opening restrictor offers a solution."

"And by preventing windows from swinging open too far, it not only reduces the risk of window or wall damage, but also increases safety - for example, in children's rooms, healthcare facilities or higher floors of residential buildings. This also makes this limiter ideally suited to projects with strict security requirements or where there is limited supervision."

Reliable and aesthetic

Whether in residential construction, commercial construction or renovation of existing buildings, the TITAN opening restrictor 90° adds value to any situation where safety, ventilation and ease of operation come together. "Architects appreciate the subtle design and integration into existing hardware lines, while processors benefit from quick installation and end users from intuitive operation," says the technical coordinator. 

According to him, SIEGENIA is therefore responding to a clear market need with the TITAN opening restrictor 90°: a smart, reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for safe window ventilation. "The hardware fits seamlessly within the TITAN portfolio and offers processors and end users a sustainable solution for a safer living and working environment. At a time when attention to health, safety and sustainability is becoming increasingly important, SIEGENIA once again proves its role as an innovative partner in modern window and door hardware."
