  • What is a folding arm actuator?

    A folding arm actuator can be fitted to side hung windows, doors and vents and can be designed to open either outwards or inwards. They work via a motorised arm attached to the opening that begins in a folded position and unfolds as it is powered by the motor.

  • What is natural ventilation control?

    Natural ventilation systems rely on the natural forces of wind and temperature to direct the stale, warm air out of the building and allow the fresh, cool air to enter and circulate. Unlike fan-forced ventilation, it utilises the natural forces of wind and buoyancy to circulate fresh air into buildings.
