By default, our windows are equipped with Winkhaus activPilot Concept hardware, but this is not the only available option. The range of products allows for selecting a solution for any order and type of building.

Winkhaus activPilot Select

Large windows are a characteristic feature of modern architecture that requires the use of strong hardware. With activPilot Select, it is possible to confidently control a large and heavy sash.

Windows with activPilot Select hardware harmonize with both ultra-modern buildings and historical sites or architectural landmarks.

Advantages:

• No visible hinges or decorative covers that may sometimes disrupt the aesthetics of the window or hinder cleaning. All elements are hidden inside and not visible from the outside;
• The use of hidden hinges increases the thermal insulation of the window, as no "cold bridges" are formed;
• A 95° turning angle provides excellent visibility from the window and prevents the sash from hitting the window sill;
• The modular multi-level security concept of Winkhaus allows windows with activPilot Select hardware to be equipped up to resistance class RC2.

Winkhaus activPilot Comfort

Window system of a new generation with an additional fourth type of opening - "safe ventilation". In addition to traditional opening and tilting, the system has a function of parallel ventilation - in this mode, the sash moves 6 mm along the entire perimeter of the frame, allowing safe and uniform room ventilation without drafts and unnecessary heat loss.

The Winkhaus activPilot Comfort range with parallel ventilation function is available in four models:

activPilot Comfort PADK

The basic hardware model combines four window positions: closed, tilted, parallel ventilation, and open.

activPilot Comfort PADМ

The activPilot Comfort hardware in the PADM version, with three window positions, is equipped with an electric drive, a touch panel, and a remote control. It allows for automatic opening/closing of windows and setting the parallel ventilation mode. Ventilation time programming is done via the remote or on the touch panel. activPilot Comfort PADM is easily integrated into a smart home system.

activPilot Comfort PAD

Replacing the tilt mode with the parallel ventilation mode allows the handle to be installed at the bottom of the sash. The low handle simplifies window operation, especially if access to the window is difficult due to a kitchen countertop or other interior objects.

activPilot Comfort PADS

The perfect solution for non-standard shaped windows (arched, trapezoidal, triangular). Replacing the tilt function with the parallel ventilation function eliminates problems that may sometimes occur with non-standard windows, such as sagging of the sash or friction against the frame.

Uniquely designed anti-burglary steel hooks in the corners of the frame provide RC 2 burglary resistance class in parallel ventilation mode. activPilot Comfort is the only hardware on the market that offers this feature.

Winkhaus activPilot Control

Winkhaus activPilot Control is a unique window system that combines mechanical break-in resistance with electronic sensors for window status monitoring. The sensors indicate the current position of the handle and prevent unauthorized access attempts: in such cases, the system immediately sends an alarm signal to the security panel.

The sensors are hidden, invisible both from the outside and inside of the room, and do not affect the window's aesthetics. Thanks to this, interior harmony is not disrupted, and their presence is an unpleasant surprise for a burglar.

The magnetic sensors in the Winkhaus activPilot Control system are certified by the German insurance companies association (VdS) and assigned class B in the VdS security system.

Advantages:

• Control of the handle position (open/closed), the alarm level corresponds to class B VdS;
• Additional control of the handle in the tilt position;
• Compatible with all standard alarm systems;
• Reduce heat loss when connected to a heating thermostat;
• Synchronize the operation of the kitchen hood and fireplace;
• Easy integration into Winkhaus activPilot window systems.
