Why Choose a Teleflex Window Opener?
Teleflex systems are ideal when you need ventilation on hard to reach windows but want to avoid the need to wire electric openers.
They’re especially popular in schools, where multiple high-level windows in classrooms or halls need to be opened safely and easily. They’re also used in offices, hospitals, and other commercial buildings to improve airflow without the need for electrical work.
In the home, they’re perfect for hallway or kitchen windows where reaching over work surfaces or furniture makes opening difficult.
Installation Examples
Below are some illustrations of popular installation formats. Note: when referring to these it’s important to note the exit position from the operator and the orientation of the chain cases on the vent units.
Single, top hung vent
The simplest installation option, a single window with one or more openers depending on the width of the vent.
Multiple banks with junction box
Here there are multiple banks of windows driven by a single operator. A junction is used to provide 3 different conduit paths from the operator’s 2 exits, avoiding the need to extend a conduit run from one bank to another.
Bottom Hung example
Manual winding gear is also suitable for other window types such as bottom hung, or side hung.
What Windows do Teleflex Window Openers Suit?
Teleflex window openers are an extremely versatile solution for all types of windows. They can be installed on top hung, side hung, bottom hung, and centre pivot windows, whether opening in or out.
Brackets are available for uPVC, aluminium and timber frames, making installation straightforward.
You can operate one or multiple windows from a single handle. With several options on routing the conduit for a convenient handle position for you.
If you’re looking for a solution for your skylight or roof window, a screwjack is often the best choice. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact our team. We’re here to help, so there’s no guesswork involved.
Slimline Appearance: Although the chains are visible, they don’t have a motor. So they are relatively small in comparison to most electric openers and blend in well.
No Power Required: Teleflex winders can be fitted to existing windows with minimal disruption. Fixings are only needed to hold the conduit to the wall, with no damage to plastered walls.
Smooth and Reliable Operation: When specified correctly and fitted well, teleflex winding gear provides smooth and easy operation of your windows with minimal effort, with long lasting durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, these window types are also known as hopper windows. We can supply the necessary brackets and fixings to make an opener work on these.
The conduit comes in 3m lengths which can be joined together to form longer lengths. When joining conduit you will need to use our conduit grooving tool to ensure the two ends are securely connected.
As well as the common White, Grey, and Black options, Rocburn are able to supply Anthrocite Grey from stock as well.
Typically speaking it’s best to replace the system, for a couple of reasons. First is that although Teleflex is the best known, there are multiple brands in the market manufacturing winding gear and there’s no easy way to tell which brand conduit or cable you have. Another key reason is that all the equipment is subject to the same wear and tear, therefore, other components are likely to fail very soon.
By turning the operating handle from an accessible location, you drive a helical cable inside a conduit fixed to your wall. As the cable travels through a chain opener located at the window, it drives a cog which then drives a chain out of the opener body and its links lock in a way that allows the chain to become rigid, pushing the window or vent open.
We understand that it can be near impossible to know if a product is compatible with any particular window. That’s why we provide a free consultation over the phone with our technical sales team.
