The louvres, the Kiss Pivot operating system, the aluminium joinery and the sliding / bi-folding componentry are all of new, specific design. An integrated approach to the design has resulted in a high degree of commonality and easy “mix & match” between sliders, bi-folds and hinged systems. Unlike traditional joinery that fits within an opening, these systems have been designed to be also face fixed to the front of an opening. No outer side frames are used, top and bottom tracks only. Louvres are one of the most effective, and certainly one of the most stylish means of external security. A full range of locking options are available for the shutter systems.
