Choosing a High Level Window Opener
Electric Actuators
Depending on the window size and opening style, different actuator types may be used:
Chain Actuators – A popular option for everyday ventilation, suitable for many side-hung, top-hung, and bottom-hung windows. Available in single and double chain options depending on window size and weight.
Linear Actuators – Typically used on heavier windows or rooflights where greater operating force is needed.
Folding Arm Actuators – Used where a wider opening angle is required, often on larger vents or doors.
Electric systems can also be connected to automation controls, such as temperature, CO₂, rain and wind.
Manual Window Openers
Winding Gear/Teleflex: these cables and gearing operated by a winding handle, allowing high-level windows to be opened and closed safely from an accessible height.
Screwjack Openers: Screwjack openers use a threaded rod fixed directly to the window, allowing windows to be opened using either a handle or operating pole. They are available in different lengths depending on the window opening distance required.

Operating High-Level Windows Safely
Operating high-level windows safely is crucial regardless of the method chosen
Ladders alone average 515 injuries per year in the UK, using window openers can prevent such accidents by removing the need for ladders when opening high-level windows.
Whether using electric or manual systems, choosing the correct opener helps improve accessibility, reduce strain on users, and provide more controlled ventilation throughout the building.
Key Considerations for High Level Windows
From electric window openers and controls to complete ventilation systems, we can help you find a practical solution based on your window type, building layout, and ventilation requirements.
