Among the requirements that buyers place on significant household goods, there are a number of parameters that play a particularly important role. These parameters include: quality, reliability, ease of use, number of tasks solved, service life, price, etc. Each indicator influences the purchase decision in different ways, because for some the main factor is the quality or versatility of the product, while for others the cost of the purchase is of paramount importance. At the same time, every consumer wants to receive products with optimal characteristics and not spend too much money on it. Buyers of window fittings are guided by the same principles, trying to choose components for their designs with good characteristics at a reasonable price. One of the options for such fittings is INTERNIKA, the result of joint development by specialists from Russia and the European Union. The fittings have excellent performance parameters and are not inferior in functionality to the world's best analogues. Developed taking into account the specific climate in Russia, it is suitable for all regions of our country and ensures flawless operation of windows for a long time even in the most severe conditions.

Number of locking pins
= number of locking points. It is believed that the more there are, the more reliable.
However, if there are too many of them, then difficulties arise when closing the window (too much force on the window handle).
In terms of the number of closing-opening cycles,
the standard works - the more there are, the more reliable the fittings are considered.
Anti-corrosion protection
determined by the amount of time during which the hardware coating can withstand exposure to salt fog. According to the standard - at least 240 hours.
Loop adjustment function
allows you to compensate for the sagging of the sashes under your own and achieve optimal pressure on the sash in order to prevent the window from freezing in the winter.
Sash anti-slamming system
helps prevent damage to the window sash, preventing it from closing abruptly due to a draft.
Easy handle movement
initially provided by the features of the window design. In some cases, additional changes are made that reduce wear on the window locking hardware by reducing the friction of the moving tire on the stationary frame.
Conclusion: all three manufacturers presented in the table above produce high-quality fittings. Therefore, the choice can be made based on individual requests for these products.
Silbear hardware coating
Silbear is a silver-colored protective coating that gives the fittings an attractive appearance and provides increased corrosion resistance. The coating was developed specifically taking into account the climatic conditions and requirements of the Russian and CIS markets and is patented. The production uses the method of applying a protective anti-corrosion coating by galvanic method (coating, hexavalent chromium Cr6). Optimal protection is provided by galvanizing, chrome plating and an additional protective layer - dip varnishing. The varnish recipe is kept strictly secret. According to the results of the tests, the SilBeaer coating received the highest fifth level of corrosion resistance in accordance with the standards of the EN 1670:2008 standard. After testing for 480 hours in a salt bath, there is no red corrosion and the fittings function normally
Internika fittings from Slovenia
Internika window fittings appeared on the European market in 2010. Its developer was the Slovenian concern Kovinoplastika, known for the production of steel products for the world giants of the German automobile industry: BMW, Saab, Porshe. Since 1975, Kovinoplastika entered a new window market and began to cooperate with the world's leading manufacturer of tilt-and-turn fittings, Roto Frank. Under the order of a partner, Kovinoplastika began production of full-cycle window fittings - from the manufacture of equipment, galvanizing to a full range of product articles.
Photo: in Slovenia you can drive to the sea or to a ski resort in an hour. After 35 years of joint cooperation with Roto, Frank Kovinoplastika decided to produce its own window fittings - Internika (ARX for Europe). Since 2010, Internika has been sold in Russia and the CIS countries, and the exclusive rights to sell products belong to the TBM company with the largest distribution network in Russia. The Kovinoplastika concern sells accessories on the European market under the ARX brand.
Main technical features
- The perforated surface of the head ensures smooth movement of the fittings due to reduced friction of the upper and lower tires
- Adjustment of locking pins +/- 1.2 mm
- Integrated protection against slamming the window is implemented in the scissors on the sash and prevents unauthorized slamming of the sash, for example, during a strong gust of wind
- The article number on the fittings reduces the time for selecting and inventorying fittings
- Universal blocker-lifter
- Wide standard sizes of fittings elements make it possible to ensure the production of all required window sizes with a minimum warehouse stock (for example, the main tilt-and-turn lock 900-1400 covers about 45% of the window production's need for locks)
- The presence of an additional pin on the middle lock provides improved pressing of the sash to the frame in the area of the upper hinge group
- Possibility of adjusting the trunnions with a regular screwdriver
- Strike plates with reinforced clamping
- Bottom loop group 3D. The lower hinge group of Internika fittings can be adjusted in all three planes.
- Colored decorative overlays
Internika fittings are produced in Slovenia at the Kovinoplastika plant upon order and with the direct participation of the TBM Company. Kovinoplastika. is an international company, founded in 1954, with several subsidiaries in Slovenia and abroad. The plant has a full technological cycle, including the production of its own equipment and galvanization of products.
INTERNIKA fittings – the latest developments for ease of use
In order to make the fittings as convenient as possible for consumers, INTERNIKA developers brought to life the following ideas:
- The structures were equipped with rotating locking elements to reduce the load on working parts and extend the service life of the system;
- We installed elements that prevent the sash from slamming due to drafts and gusty winds;
- We installed an additional lock near the top hinge so that the sash in this area would be pressed better;
- Enhanced burglary protection functions;
- Implemented the ability to perform ventilation in two modes;
- All elements were protected from moisture and other climatic phenomena - SilBear coating. It was created by scientists specifically for the Russian region, takes into account the specific weather on its territory and provides long-term protection against corrosion;
- Adjustment options have been expanded to the maximum to correct minor defects in the manufacture or installation of windows.
Tests
For each batch of fittings, tests are carried out for durability, use of destructive force, strength, hardness, chemical composition, etc. Testing of individual elements and their constituent elements is carried out. The fittings are certified in the Russian Federation and at the Rosenheim Institute (Germany)

Internika fittings – where installed
Entering the long-established window market, which is more than 60 years old, with a new product is a bold challenge for the management of the concern. Kovinoplastika specialists faced the difficult task of developing fittings that are optimally suitable for windows in different climatic zones. Both in regions with a temperate climate and with harsh climatic conditions - from sharp continental to sea with strong wind loads. Close communication with European and Russian window manufacturers and technical innovations allowed Kovinoplastika to develop high-class fittings at the best price.

Profile care:
It is recommended to clean the bases of the sashes and frames with mild soap-based cleaners, previously diluted with water. The product must be pH neutral. The concentrate is not recommended. Cleaning is carried out to prevent the occurrence of mold and numerous fungi on the surface of the sash rebate.
As a rule, dust gets on moving parts, and dirt needs to be removed. The procedure is necessary to avoid the combination of dust and condensation, which is the basis for the growth of mold and bacteria.
