Lock Handle

Roto North America introduced a new Low Profile Lock Handle for casement and awning windows. Also known as the LH20, this lock handle is a line extension of the existing LH08 and LH19 lock handles for PVC and aluminum windows, and fits into the same space. The LH20's design rests 50 percent closer to the frame and delivers a seamless finish to the window frame. It is also designed with a minimalistic, 11mm flared lever that is supposed to allow for easy operation. The lock handle comes in multi-point and single-point lock variants, and has a brushed back plate meant to reduce air and insect infiltration. This contemporary zinc-alloy lock handle comes in seven finishes and provides a total of 44mm of travel.

Aspekt+ 1800 features a strength-enhancing sash in the company’s RAU-FIPRO glass-fiber reinforced polyvinyl chloride material. The new Aspekt+ 1800, an addition to the Aspekt 1800 casement window portfolio, is designed to meet stringent Passive House requirements and address the growing demand for larger windows in residential and commercial construction, according to company officials. Its co-extruded triple-seal technology limits thermal conduction and ensures a tight frame-to-sash seal with a significantly reduced U-value. An outswing casement window, Aspekt+ 1800 is available in a wide range of colors.
