primePort AS: Minimum space required for maximum view

Winkhaus has developed the new primePort AS retract-slide fitting especially for installation situations in urban environments. This fitting allows generous window openings without the open sash taking up space in the room. The primePort AS’s unique retract-slide mechanism keeps the window tightly closed, even when high wind loads act on the facade. This also makes it suitable for use in sliding doors and windows in high-rise and multi-occupancy buildings. All moving fitting parts are concealed in the window frame, no additional cover profiles are required for the Winkhaus technology, which gives primePort AS doors and windows an extremely elegant appearance.

primePort AS impresses with its versatility and is suitable for a wide range of sliding door and window formats and weights: The standard version carries up to 200kg, with tandem bogies the maximum sash weight is increased to 250kg. Like all Winkhaus systems, primePort AS is also designed to be user-friendly. The central locking system can be configured from the activPilot modular system, supplemented by a few additional elements. Thanks to the roller-guided closing mechanism, the window can be operated with little effort. The low number of coupling points simplifies installation.

The primePort AS can optimise the functionality and security of the sliding element with an additional comfort component.

The “Softclose” function ensures a convenient pull-in for the retract-slide fitting. This ensures that the sash closes smoothly to the desired position.

Thanks to the individual arrangement of the frame part, the Softclose feature can also be converted into a safety stop function. The “Safetystop” function includes braking the sash in the desired position. This can prevent injuries such as trapping limbs.
