Folding Openers

The most common opening stroke is 150mm, but we can also supply folding openers in 90mm, 225mm, and 300mm distances if required. It’s best to contact us to confirm as not all distances are available across the range.

Our window openers normally come in a brushed, anodised aluminium finish, but we are able to work with our manufacturers and suppliers to get a custom anodised finish if desired. As with any anodising, it is difficult to obtain exact colour matches, so samples may need to be produced for approval.

To get the process started we have a specification sheet you can download and review. This can then be completed and sent over to us via email or used as guidance for the kind of questions we will need to ask during a phone call. You can download the specification sheet here.

No, given the number of different window styles and frame sizes it’s very difficult to choose a standard size that works well for everything. Any standard size opener will generally need to be modified with packers in order to work properly. We are able to and often do supply customised folding openers to suit your specific window so get in touch with us to find out more.

In short, very, but it will depend on the installation.  If the vent is forced open it’s more likely the fixings themselves will fail before the opener does. Because of this, it makes them a good choice for schools, care homes, sheltered accommodation or similar environments where the window opening must be restricted to prevent things or people from falling out the window.

Yes, multiple openers can be installed on the same window and then tied together with a coupling tube which is then used to operate both openers simultaneously. If the window is at high level, then a pole and a ring can be supplied, the ring is attached the coupling tube and used in conjunction with the pole.
