aluPilot

The efficient fitting system for aluminium windows

Modular system approach for aluminium windows

The aluPilot modular fitting system from Winkhaus enables efficient and simple production of aluminium windows.

Manufacturers benefit from a shorter production time of around ten minutes per window unit as well as reduced process complexity. The fitting system supports common opening modes such as turn, turn-tilt and tilt before turn.

The fully-concealed aluPilot Topstar hinge side is designed as standard for sash weights of up to 130 kilograms. Additional components make it possible to install large-format aluminium windows with sash weights of up to 200 kilograms.

Window production with a vision

Windows with concept
Efficient assembly, reduced costs

The new benchmark in processing – the flexible assembly sequence simplifies fitting installation and reduces sources of error in production.
Pre-assembled parts also reduce the number of individual components and assembly steps within a fitting set.
By the way: The QM-328 certification and classification in Corrosion Protection Class 5 confirms the product’s suitability for demanding applications and affirms its high quality.

Click. Click. Done.

No matter whether it’s used as a concealed fitting or a fitting with a surface-mounted hinge side, the aluPilot system saves time and reduces costs thanks to efficient handling.

aluPilot Topstar installation

aluPilot is the flexible and efficient fitting system for aluminium windows designed for sashes weighing up to 300kg, compliance with PAS24 and up to RC3 for European specifications.

More handling advantages


Fewer work steps

Sash components are connected to one another by drive rods which are available in seven fixed lengths. This eliminates preliminary work steps such as punching and cutting connecting rods to length.


Clever tool concept

Assembly and adjustment of components requires only two tools: screwdriver and an assembly lever. Costly punching tools are not required.

Innovative mounting

All fitting components are installed in the fitting groove of the sash frame or frame from the front. This eliminates the need to punch out the sash groove.

Fewer components

Pre-assembled elements reduce the number of components in a set of fittings by up to 25%. This reduces the amount of handling effort during installation.

Easy to upgrade

For European specifications, fittings can be brought in line to qualify for resistance class RC2 in just a few extra steps. The system is merely supplemented with an additional component for RC3-compliant windows.

Quick to install

The effort needed to manufacture a standard window is reduced by up to 10 minutes. In this way the production costs of the entire window are lowered.

aluPilot Ventilation shear for turn windows

The optional aluPilot ventilation shear for turn windows provides adjustable ventilation up to 90 degrees from the closed position.

Greater convenience and
functional security

The locking force optimiser (SKU) for the aluPilot Topstar system reduces the amount of force needed to return the window sash from the tilted position to the closed position.
This solution is especially well suited to buildings with heightened accessibility requirements. The innovative module is equally well suited for heavy window elements with large formats and inconvenient handle heights.

Customised solutions for buildings

Modern architecture often breaks with traditional dimensions, shapes, and colours. Always seeking new approaches, creative outlets, and qualities.
At Winkhaus, we accompany these ideas. We know what windows and façades must be able to achieve in terms of functionality. That’s why we offer a wide range of products and can develop custom solutions for your project, whether through modification or custom design.

Intelligent packaging

In addition to the advantages for assembly on site, aluPilot offers an innovative packaging concept for simplified warehousing. Basic cartons with size-independent components or as large package units for industrial window builders. As a result, the work involved with handling the individual fitting parts is reduced, components are protected during transport and there is less waste left over.

Windows, an idea further

Special solutions for buildings

Our flexible and comprehensive system provides partner customers a great deal of freedom for future building design.

Puristic elegance

Aluminium windows are often the first choice when the façade calls for aesthetics and size. Winkhaus offers the aluPilot Topstar fitting system for elements with slimline frames, which also meet the highest standards in terms of interior design. It can be used to fit windows that are flush-mounted on the inside without visible fittings – even with large and heavy sashes weighing up to 180kg. Available as a turn, turn-tilt or tilt before turn fitting system, Winkhaus aluPilot is suitable for a wide variety of windows with an aluminium euro grooove. Visually appealing hardware – black blends almost imperceptibly into the profile. The versatility also makes it possible to fulfil individual requirements for convenience and functionality.

We have design in hand
