2. The HYBRID-Window Closer - Utility and functioning
The window closer is a device for automatic closing of window
sashes of tilt & turn windows made from plastic, wood or alu-
minium. For safety reasons the window closer may not be in-
stalled on windows or doors with a lower edge less than 85
cm.
Room ventilating ensures not only fresh air, but also the remov-
al of carbon dioxide, of various smells or excess humidity and
avoids the formation of mould. In this respect it is necessary
and extremely useful.
Tilted windows are often forgotten to be closed after ventila-
tion. Especially in toilets, bathrooms or bedrooms it is a prob-
lem. So in the cold season valuable heating is lost. On hot days
the heat comes into the room.
Room ventilation is only energy efficient in case it is time con-
trolled. This applies for ventilation by opening the
window entirely and by opening the tilted window. The often
recommended ventilation by opening the window entirely -
because it is faster - should not exceed 4-7 min in the cold
season!
Daily room ventilation by opening the window
entirely is only possible to a limited extent. The hustle and bus-
tle of the day, often gives you too little time or the effort in-
volved is too high because the window sill is full of utilities. So
the window is brought to a tilt position and in most cases un-
checked.
