Hinges are heavy-duty concealed hinges while the operating roto mechanism ensures an easy open and close of the sash.

The locking mechanism for all venting windows is available in single or multipoint. When closed, the locks assist in ensuring a positive seal against the frame. In fact, the window does not have to be entirely closed and the reach on the lock can still grab the sash and pull it in towards the frame.

All venting windows use a combination of compression, pile and santoprene weather stripping.

The weather stripping, when used in conjunction with the locking mechanism, will ensure that the sash is fit securely against the frame and ensure air loss around the sash is minimized.
