Features of window fittings from Roto

The centuries-old history of economic development clearly demonstrates the fact that the heights of true success are achieved by companies that offer something fundamentally new, perfect and practical. So, for a long time there was only one way to open windows - a rotary one on a vertical sash. However, the German engineer Wilhelm Frank, founder of ROTO, improved the product and invented a tilt-and-turn mechanism that opens the doors in two planes. This invention became a successful start for the world famous company.

Founding and development of the company

The first ROTO plant was opened in 1935 in the town of Leinfelden, near Stuttgart. The founders of the well-known and prosperous company today were Wilhelm and Elfriede Frank. They devoted their whole lives to their brainchild, and their last name became part of the full name ROTO FRANK AG. The family enterprise almost immediately received a powerful impetus for development thanks to the invention of Wilhelm Frank - a tilt-and-turn mechanism for roof windows. The technology turned out to be successful and instantly took root in everyday life. 2 years after its founding, Roto's developments were presented to the general public at an exhibition in Leipzig. These were functional and reliable fittings that facilitated operation and installation, Loft-ladder luxury attic stairs and, of course, the innovative Rekord hardware complex with opening switching at two points. From now on, most designs are equipped with ROTO mechanisms. Unfortunately, the rapid development of the company was interrupted during the Second World War, which destroyed almost all production facilities. The restoration of its leading position and production volumes took place in 1950, and new developments made it possible to simplify the installation of fakro windows.

ROTO CENTRO

Centro 101 fittings have long established themselves on the Russian market. This system can be used for any windows: arched, oblique, tilt-and-turn, simply rotary, made of plastic, wood, aluminum. Locking tabs on all locking parts allow easy sliding when locked. The degree of pressing of the sash to the frame can be easily adjusted. The design of the scissors and lower hinges on the frame and sash allows for additional adjustment of the gap in width and height. Roto fittings guarantee high operational reliability.

Striving forward and improving.

Over the next 20 years, the company increases its pace and almost every two years introduces new solutions for improving ROTO roof windows. So, starting in 1955, new OKe fittings were released, in 1957 mechanisms for aluminum frames appeared, and in 1960 a fitting complex with a hidden axial rod was developed, which facilitates operation and installation. A significant event was the new invention of Wilhelm Frank - an upper suspension for sashes, which made it possible to improve the design. Despite all the above innovations, the price of the product remains at a stable average level, which makes it affordable and popular among consumers.
