Parallel opening vent

Parallel opening vent

Senior Architectural Systems has recently launched a hardware option for its open out window suites.

The hardware allows for parallel opening vents to be manufactured whils still accommodating a multi-point locking system for exceptional weathering and good security. Parallel opening vent can be used in a wide range of applications where natural ventilation and/or smoke ventilation is required.

Windows can be either operated by hand and locked or can be fitted with actuators which can automate the unlocking and opening sequence. When linked to the building management system (BMS) almost perfect room ventilation can be achieved. Parallel opening vents allow for cool air to enter at the bottom of the vent with warm air out at the top, while offering the largest safe free air opening of any opening configuration.

Tested to achieve the equivalent weather rating of a typical top hung window the new hardware offers specifiers a further choice of opening systems.
