Chrono window system
The Chrono window system consists of a series of components in various models depending on the window type.
The mainly pre-assembled and ingeniously designed components are the key to an efficient and easy window assembly.
The CHRONO window system consists of:
- Chrono rod system
- Visible hinges
- Concealed hinges
- Perimeter locking
- Handles
- Lockcases
- Chrono accessories

Chrono rod system
Modular synthetic rods
The Chrono rod system consists of 11 synthetic rods of various lengths, so that all window formats can be spanned.
STRENGTHS
- Quick and efficient assembly due to toothed connections and ready-made parts.
- If there are any imprecisions in window production, high margins of error can be compensated for.
- High stability due to the use of dimensionally stable, reinforced synthetic material.
- Smooth functioning, no rattling when operated.
- No after-care required thanks to self-lubricating synthetic rods.
CHARACTERISTICS
-
Burglar resistance: suitable for security fittings up to SKG** and RC2.

Visible hinges
STRENGTHS
- Quick and efficient assembly: clampable hinges, drilling not necessary.
- Large adjustment range compensates for imprecisions in window production and guarantees faultless operation.
- Extensive range of finishes:
- powder coating in more than 450 RAL colours.
- matt or glossy.
- natural colour anodisation or colour tones.
- textured coating.
- stainless steel look. - Durable: use of corrosion-resistant materials: zinc alloy, stainless steel, aluminium, synthetic materials, etc.
CHARACTERISTICS
-
Vent width up to 1700 mm.
- Vent height up to 2800 mm.
- Vent weight up to 130 kg. Special version for side-hung windows up to 300 kg.

Concealed hinges
When the window is closed, these concealed hinges cannot be seen. This produces a sleek, modern-day look, which is reinforced by the combination of narrow frame profiles and expansive glass surfaces.
STRENGTHS
- Quick and efficient assembly: clampable hinges, drilling not necessary.
- Large adjustment range compensates for imprecisions in window production and guarantees faultless operation.
- Durable: use of corrosion-resistant materials: zinc alloy, stainless steel, aluminium, synthetic materials, etc.

- Adjustable friction device.
- Maximum opening angle of 105°.
- Vent width up to 1700 mm.
- Vent height up to 2800 mm.
- Vent weight up to 170 kg (200 kg on request).
Perimeter locking
The Chrono perimeter locking consists of a number of black galvanised components which ensure that a closed window is perfectly wind and watertight.
STRENGTHS
- Quick and efficient assembly due to clickable, clampable, and pre-assembled parts.
- Less stock: 1 version usable on both left and right.
- Durable: use of corrosion-resistant materials: zinc alloy, stainless steel, brass, synthetic materials, etc.

Lockcases
A lockcase is suitable for aluminium turn-tilt windows, tilt-turn windows, side-hung windows and hopper windows with eurogroove.
The lock is operated using a handle with square spindle. There are 2 versions: a standard version and a version for baseless handles.
STRENGTHS
- Quick assembly: the spindle of the handles clicks into the lockcase.
- Durable: manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials = long lifespan.
CHARACTERISTICS
- To be used in combination with Chrono Standard and Chrono Plus.
- High-security version for Chrono Safe SKG** and RC2.
Chrono accessories
The following components are optional and add an extra functionality to the Chrono window fittings.
Window stay
A window stay is an arm which limits the opening angle of a window in its turn position, and prevents the window blowing open.
- Available in 3 lengths.
- Integral adjustable friction mechanism.
- Can be disconnected.
- Easy assembly: clampable, no cut-outs.
Night ventilation position
The night ventilation position is a device that sets the window in a fixed position of 12 mm.
- Ensures discrete ventilation.
- Low heat loss.
- Can be turned off.
Magnet contact
A magnet contact is placed on the window and is connected to an alarm or home automation system.
- Check for opening condition of the window.
- Security protection.
Snapper
A snapper is an additional locking point which keeps the window closed without it having to be locked.
- Application: balcony windows.

Extra anti-slam shut device
The additional safety device is a device that can be installed retrospectively which prevents the vent shutting unintentionally from its tilt position.
CHARACTERISTICS
- For turn-tilt and tilt-turn windows.
- High, narrow windows (< 670 mm wide and up to 280 mm high) are possible.
- Installation on the main arm of the smallest scissor.
