Typical Solutions for Schools

Teleflex Winding Gear Systems

Teleflex winding gear is commonly used in schools where high-level windows need to be operated safely from floor level without electrical wiring.. A wall mounted handle connects to the window via a cable system, allowing it to be opened and closed safely from floor level.

We supply complete Teleflex winding gear kits tailored to suit your window layout.

Electric Window Openers

Electric window openers allow windows to be controlled at the push of a button or automatically based on room conditions. Using sensors like temperature and CO₂, windows can open when spaces overheat or air quality drops, helping maintain a comfortable environment.

Ideal for larger classrooms, halls, or where multiple windows need to be controlled together.

Folding Openers

Folding openers are a simple and practical solution where restricted opening is required; they are especially popular when windows are positioned over a desk.

They can be operated using a pole with no wiring needed, offer a cost effective, and low maintenance option. Systems can also be made bespoke to suit different window sizes and layouts.

Key Considerations for School Ventilation Systems

Why Ventilation Matters in Schools

Ventilation isn’t just about comfort, it plays a key role in creating a safe and effective learning environment.

Guidance such as BB101 sets out requirements for airflow, temperature and C02 levels in schools. Getting the right system in place helps maintain air quality and ensures spaces are comfortable throughout the day, without the cost of mechanical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What information do you need to recommend a system?

    The best starting point is any drawings or schedules of window sizes, locations, and some information on how you want to operate the system.

  • Do I need to follow BB101 for school ventilation?

    BB101 is the main guidance for ventilation, air quality, and thermal comfort in schools. While it’s a guidance rather than a strict regulation, most projects are designed with this in mind.  Read more about BB101.

  • Can students open the windows themselves?

    In most cases, controls are restricted or positioned out of reach to prevent misuse.  Systems can be designed so only staff can operate them, helping to keep the environment safe.
