Parallel stay for easy manual operation
12th May 2015

The team at Hardware manufacturer COTSWOLD ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS have worked with prominent systems companies and fabricators to bring to market a new dedicated solution for POV (parallel opening vents) on PVCu windows - the ‘Sinidex’ parallel stay.

Business Development Manager Alan Hartley, who has been heading up the design and launch of the product, said: “This is an exciting new opportunity for PVCu fabricators because it presents a new way of opening windows. It also provides great design flexibility and improved natural ventilation, with greater air flow around the full perimeter of the window.

“This is an ideal application for high-end residential, domestic and commercial applications. The product allows for easy manual operation and is perfect for mechanical or automatic opening; and therefore provide a performance level which represents the future.”

In the conservatory market, it will allow for a full height parallel window opening, providing improved natural ventilation and therefore more internal comfort for the homeowner.

Parallel opening vents are also a safer option to large top hung windows, as they project much less into the garden area and significantly reduce the potential for young children running into the vent of the open window.
