Roto E-Tec DriveThe concealed drive for windows

Window and Door Technology

What use is a window that is hardly

ever opened, because it is just too

high up? Roto has the solution:

Roto E-Tec Drive – The electric

window drive-unit integrated in low

Tilt-Only sash hardware, which is

installed in a high position. Now

even difficult-to-access windows

can be opened for ventilation – in

fact at the touch of a button.

Electric and fully concealedThe fully integrated electric drive in

the frame profile enables you to

design particularly attractive win-

dow elements that have a positive

influence on the whole living ambi-

ence. It goes without saying that

Roto E-Tec Drive locks the window

electrically just as securely as if by

hand. The window can still be

opened and shut mechanically by

hand.

Naturally and safe ventilationToday, modern windows close

virtually air-tight. That is why it is

even more important to have

adequate regular natural ventilation

of rooms – including with the aid of

fanlights. Roto E-Tec Drive combined

with smart home systems enables

fully automatic window tilting and

locking. The window closes auto-

matically in strong winds and rain.

Regular ventilation intervals are

programmable and create a pleasant

room climate.

Intelligent control of fanlights Combined with Roto E-Tec Drive,

intelligent sensors and time switches

on fanlights provide an exchange of

air as needed. The window drive

opens and closes the fanlight, thus

stimulating air circulation.

All the benefits at a glance: concealed in the window frame

Controlled natural ventilation

Wherever people reside, for instance, in schools and

residential buildings or care facilities, rooms must be

provided with an adequate supply of fresh air. Here the

recommendation is for a controlled natural ventilation,

which is integrated in the building management system,

so as to be controlled automatically. Tilt ventilation via

windows with a high installation position suggests

itself as a possible solution: in old people’s homes or

schools – not least for safety reasons.

Natural, practical and efficient Roto E-Tec Drive is the ideal solution wherever difficult-

to-access windows are installed. Ventilation intervals can

be programmed via software and create a pleasant room

climate through the demand-based air exchange.

The advantages are clear: Fresh air automatically enters

the interior and refreshes the room climate. The vitiated

air escapes. Moisture won’t settle.

Lower CO2 concentrationElectrically operated windows

regulate the interior air through

programmable intervals of ventilation

leading to a sustained reduction in

CO2 concentration. Too much CO2

in internal rooms not only reduces

the ability to concentrate but also

increases the risk of infection – a

particularly sensitive issue in schools

and care homes.

Regular ventilation is essentialAn inadequate air exchange in-

creases the proportion of germs.

Regular ventilation provides

a solution to this. This is the only

way to prevent a build-up of carbon

dioxide, moisture and smells.

Depending on the use of the build-

ing and number of windows,

Roto E-Tec Drive permits the design

of solutions that provide sufficient

ventilation.

Controlled natural ventilation at a glance: ensures regular controlled

air exchange

Perfectly coordinated with Roto

hardware systems, Roto E-Tec Drive

enables stepplessly adjustable tilt

ventilation as needed, even of fan-

lights with a sash rebate height of

only 290 mm. The extended Roto

E-Tec Drive application range offers

interesting perspectives with re-

spect to the sectors of residential

construction as of office and school

building construction, etc.

Important: Roto E-Tec Drive is the

only drive that is perfectly coordi-

nated with all Roto timber and PVC

hardware systems.

Optimised accessories, simple installationThe optimised range of accessories

simplifies installation and makes

commissioning and operation more

convenient. Roto has also revised

the drive electronics interface – for

better compatibility with smart home

systems. To sum up, the use of

Roto E-Tec Drive has many benefits.

Benefits for window fabricators: easier commissioning optimum compatibility with smart

home systems

Roto E-Tec Drive is now also

available for fanlights with sash

rebate heights starting from

290 mm

Attractive for window fabricators and specialist dealers

Future potential through an extended application rangeSpecialist dealers, who already have

Roto hardware systems in

their range, can now expand their

business – specifically in the area of

operating comfort, especially with

Tilt-Only sashes with a high installa-

tion position. Here Roto has signifi-

cantly expanded the application

range of the Roto E-Tec Drive:

The minimum sash rebate height of

a fanlight can now be as little as

290 mm.

Fewer hardware variants, less warehouse spaceRoto E-Tec Drive makes many other

mechanical hardware variants super-

fluous. That reduces complexity and

the size of the range, ensuring lower

storage costs. Roto hardware fabri-

cators can easily integrate Roto E-Tec

Drive – that makes it easier for

specialist dealers to broach the

subject with existing customers.

Benefits for specialist dealers: reduction in the size of the range

thus lower storage costs new prospects through an

expansion of the range of appli-

cations (starting from sash re-

bate heights of 290 mm) attractive product enhancement

for existing customers
