The latest development of German designers, which has significantly improved the consumer properties of PVC windows and doors - Roto NT fittings
.
The distinctive features of the new generation of Roto fittings (NT) are, above all, their ergonomics, practicality and burglary-proof characteristics.
The NT series fittings also differ from their predecessors (Roto Centro) in their new design. You can distinguish it from the previous generation Roto Centro fittings by the silver color of the RotoSil coating (Roto CENTRO had a copper color coating).
The standard ROTO NT fittings set includes a set of additional options:
- scissors with two opening ranges (for tilt-and-turn sashes of plastic windows);
- additional average constipation;
- 2 types of slot ventilation;
- adjustable tilt lock;
- anti-burglary element in the corner switch at the bottom of the sash.
Why are Roto fittings better?
Because it won't let you down!
Let's go in order:
- the very first fittings! The history of Roto Frank AG began in 1935 in Germany.
- The world's first tilt-and-turn window mechanism! The company's founder, Wilhelm Frank, is the inventor of the world's first window device, thanks to which windows can open in two planes - vertical and horizontal. Mr. Frank's ingenious invention - the tilt-and-turn mechanism - made a technological breakthrough in the field of window production.
- Burglar protection is already included in the basic package! In the Roto-NT, the tilt-and-turn switch is equipped with a mushroom-shaped anti-burglary pin, which engages with the anti-burglar strike plate on the frame when closed.
- * this fittings are so reliable that when testing “for incorrect consumer actions”, the handle pin broke, but the power transmission mechanisms were not damaged. In other fittings, corner gears or strip connections broke... (where others have one screw, ROTO has two! Where others have a plastic clip, ROTO has metal!).
- statistics are in favor of Roto NT! Throughout history since 1998. We worked with other accessories, and the statistics on failures and service costs are in favor of ROTO NT!
- Roto NT forgives neglect! Roto NT is installed on the window already lubricated for many years. Although we write in the instructions for you that you need to lubricate the fittings once a year, almost none of you do this! And nothing! * It works... and doesn’t even creak. Tested on thousands of sashes!
- The durability of the Roto NT is amazing! * Since 2004 - the beginning of installation - there has not been the slightest hint of wear or aging. * The failure rate according to our statistics is *0.3% (three tenths! out of a THOUSAND sashes, only THREE require our attention due to fittings!) Why is it so low? It’s simple – reliable fittings.
- 80% of windows in Moscow and the region, middle and upper middle class, are equipped with ROTO! (all the largest manufacturers work with ROTO NT fittings! You can easily see this for yourself.) * The reason is operational reliability.
- moreover! Roto NT is one of the most popular tilt and turn systems in the world! (According to Roto Frank AG)
- * ask any service technician or window installer - which fittings are easier to bring back to life after renovating an apartment? The answer is obvious. ROTO NT

Roto NT fittings are a set of advanced mechanisms that provide tilt-and-turn opening of window sashes and doors. It is fully compatible, allowing the production of structures of any configuration. Versatility and technological excellence are not the only characteristic features of Roto Frank products; it should be noted the reliability of the described mechanisms, which can withstand the weight of sashes even over 100 kg.
A technological breakthrough in the production of window opening systems occurred in 1935. It was then that a method was invented that ensured windows could swing open in vertical and horizontal planes, without which modern life is unthinkable. Many companies today produce similar fittings, but the first was Roto Frank AG. It now consists of 12 factories located in Europe, the USA and China, and the main plant operates in Germany near Stuttgart.
Durability, versatility, original design of Roto NT fittings
Naturally, the tilt and turn system has undergone many changes since 1935. At the moment, manufacturers of window and door units are using a new development by engineers from the Roto Frank AG concern - Roto NT
, which represents a fundamentally new approach to completing PVC systems. Having a modular assembly system, the new fittings allow you to modernize the existing structure at any time, while avoiding significant costs.
In addition, fittings for Roto NT
It is distinguished by its original design and resistance to aggressive environments. These qualities are achieved through the RotoSil Nano coating, which has a silver-titanium color, thanks to which the degree of corrosion protection of this fittings significantly exceeds the standard requirements of RAL RG 607/3. At the same time, all requirements regarding product environmental safety standards are met.
In addition to the standard configuration of windows, the use of Roto NT fittings provides for the installation of:
- additional moderate constipation;
- 2 standard slot ventilation;
- scissors with 2 opening ranges;
- adjustable tilt locking mechanism;
- anti-burglary element located in the corner switch at the bottom of the sash.
Types of Roto elements
The quality of the handles ensures comfortable use. Modern models are represented by complex locking mechanisms, which allow you to open the window completely or for ventilation, ensuring a reliable fit of the sash to the frame.
The manufacturer offers the following series of handles.
Line

In addition to the main advantages, a special child protection mechanism can be distinguished. If the sash is installed for ventilation, the child will not be able to open the windows. Such elements are convenient for parents whose child has a separate room.
The key disadvantage is the high cost. But it is important to take into account the high quality and reliability of the fittings. Over time, it will not fail, and regular care and timely maintenance protects against premature damage to the equipment.
Easy window assembly and design advantages of Roto NT
The total number of elements reduced due to the Clip&Fit system allows you to reduce the time and at the same time increase the accuracy of assembly, since it is carried out similarly to the assembly of a construction set. The modular Roto NT system, without the slightest compromise on the high quality of the windows, provides cost savings by reducing production costs and time. Also, the use of the Clip&Fit system has the most beneficial effect on production logistics. In addition, a large selection of additional elements and the presence of E-Tec electronic systems make it possible to design technologically advanced windows with an increased level of comfort.
Adjustment
Adjustment of the handles may be required in the following cases :
performing preventive maintenance, including lubrication, cleaning of dust and dirt;- checking for wear or malfunction of individual parts;
- troubleshooting, including adjusting the vertical or horizontal position, correcting distortions;
- replacement of worn components;
- modernization of obsolete parts.
Roto mechanisms are usually replaced no earlier than after 10 years. This is due to the increased reliability of the handle as a whole, as well as individual components.
Reliability and safety of windows with Roto NT Designo
Roto NT Designo tilt-and-turn mechanisms, after updating in May 2007, are able to withstand a sash weight of 130 kg. Previously, their degree of reliability and endurance was enough for 80 kg, which, in principle, is also not so little. This improvement makes it possible to produce PVC systems with large-area doors. Also, this fittings are applicable for the manufacture of certain types of specialized windows.
The innovative security concept of Roto NT Designo fittings provides for the installation of additional anti-theft devices that meet class WK2. Such functional characteristics are achievable due to compact hinge elements, which leave sufficient space for the installation of parts that increase the level of safety of windows.
Installation Features
If the fittings are provided by the manufacturer of plastic windows, it is better to immediately replace them with high-quality ones. Often the cheapest products are used, which reduce the cost of structures. The best solution is to choose Roto fittings.
Replacing a part is not difficult, so the work can be done on your own without the involvement of third-party craftsmen. To do this, you first need to remove the old structure, which will require unscrewing two screws . To do this, open the sash to the “open” position. At the final stage, you need to carefully pull out the handle.
It is advisable to choose a similar design solution for a new handle. It is better to choose reliable products, such as accessories from the Roto brand. Handles are available in standard sizes in various stylistic solutions. It is additionally important to select elements such as plastic covers for hinges and combs intended for ventilation. Only in this case can an optimal stylistic match be achieved.
Installing a new handle is not difficult. To do this, you need to use new screws or you can use similar elements from the old handle. After installing the screws, the handle is fixed . After this, the correct opening of the sash is checked. A plate is installed on top to cover the structural elements.
Window with Tilt First function for security.
It is possible to make a window with the Tilt First function.
When you turn the handle to the horizontal position, the sash immediately goes to the “reclined” position. Further opening of the window can be blocked using a handle with a key.
This function is very useful for the safety of the child, as well as for institutions - hospitals, hotels, schools.
When using a simple keyless handle, you get simple tilting of the sash in one motion. After all, the reclined position is the most frequently used. In addition, wear of mechanisms is reduced.
Instructions for self-adjusting window pressure “winter-summer”
Changing the pressure from summer to winter and vice versa is the only type of adjustment that we recommend doing yourself, since it is extremely simple and understandable. You can make it yourself, having only a hexagon.
First, you need to identify those places where you need to strengthen/weaken the vestibule. Locate the nearest locking element (locking pin).
Pay attention to the marker on the trunnion - a dot or notch. This is an indicator of clamping density. To ensure a tighter canopy “for the winter”, you need to turn the axle with a hexagon in such a position that the marker points towards the room (away from the frame), to loosen and switch to summer mode - turn the axle to the position “with the marker towards the street” (towards the frame ).
Congratulations on your purchase of windows equipped with high-quality modern ROTO fittings, which provide convenience and comfort in handling the window. For the correct and proper functioning of the window, you should remember some rules for handling fittings and follow the instructions for use.
Tilt and turn fittings ROTO (Roto) are construction structural devices for windows and doors with one control handle.
This fitting allows you to move the window sash by turning the handle into a swing (pivot) position or, thanks to the design of the “scissors” part, into a limited-tilt (turn-tilt) position. Tilt and turn fittings lock the sashes of windows and doors, and also bring them to various ventilation positions. When closing, the opposing sealing force must be overcome. Any other use of the fittings does not correspond to its intended purpose.
The operation of tilt and turn fittings is ensured only if its parts are not subject to increased contamination. Burglar-resistant windows and doors, windows and doors for wet rooms, as well as those installed in places with an aggressive and corrosive atmosphere, must be equipped with special fittings.
