Manual Window Openers & Teleflex Window Openers A manual system would be a natural ventilation system you would use by hand, this can either be operated by a remote handle, an opener pole or a cord and the best choice depends on your specific application.

Types of Manual Window Openers

Manual Winding Gear:
A manual winding system, often referred to as Teleflex winding gear is a popular option for single or multiple windows which are either at high level or hard to reach.

This kit is typically a manual chain opener on the window, connected by conduit and a cable to an operating handle within reach. Most popular applications are in schools or DDA adaptations where electric isn’t an option. Read more

Folding Openers (Cam Stays):
These are another popular option for manual window control, these are typically cheaper that the Teleflex style systems and don’t require running conduit.

Cam stays are basically a hinged arm which you either hook a pole into if they are at high level or push with your hand if they are at low level, these openers are for window on a vertical wall and will open a fixed distance.

Screwjacks & Poles:
Screw Jack openers, are a threaded rod which you window with a pole or handle if these are low level. Most often used in conservatories, screwjacks are designed for use on skylights and roof vents on a pitched or flat roof.

Here at Rocburn Limited, we’re passionate about making both domestic and commercial buildings as safe as possible, and we pride ourselves in fitting the best smoke ventilation systems around.

In commercial buildings and multi-occupancy buildings, there is a requirement by law to keep escape routes clear and free from smoke to enable both occupants to escape and to allow fire brigade access. Our smoke ventilation systems are governed by standards such as BS EN12101 and Approved Document B, and they are discreet systems which do not impede access or exit routes.

I was recommended by a developer friend Daniel, when I was in an urgency stage of completion. When I phoned to ask for a quote, and they were able to come out that day to see in the site, the price is competitive. It was a pleasure dealing with Matt who was very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend their services, and definitely plan to use Rocburn in the future.

Thank you James D for all your wonderful assistance this week. You couldn't have done more to help me diagnose and sort out two broken window openers in my conservatory roof and send new openers for delivery the next day. You're a star! Five stars actually!

I have nothing but praise for Adam at Rocburn Ltc. He was courteous, helpful and very patient. It is quite rare to get such excellent support and I would not hesitate in recommending him and Rocburn to anyone considering fitting a similar window opening system. Thank you.

Adam from Rocburn was incredible. I was in the middle of selling my house, building control wouldn't sign off unless we installed an AOV. I was in a huge hurry to get the work done before moving out and completing with little over a week to get it done. Adam at Rocburn went above and beyond to help me out. I ordered the AOV on the Friday, it was delivered by the Monday and Adam lined up an improved installer to come in and fit it by the Wednesday.

They removed my old velux, resized the opening, fitted the AOV and made good ready for the plasterer. And I received my commissioning certificate the very next day! how about that for service. If I could give them 100 stars, I would. Their service and help, literally saved my house sale and also got me out of an immensely stressful and time pressured situation, I honestly cannot thank them enough. They were amazing!

We used their call back service (found on their website) and from that moment on the customer service was faultless. They took the trouble to fully explain our options and make sure we got the best product. Their pricing, including the excellent service, was better than we found on other sites. Delivery from stock. It couldn't have been easier. Thank you, James.

I bought a TV lift from Roburn last year and they were extremely helpful at the time with technical advice, product choice and arranging delivery. We had a minor problem recently following a power cut and James and the team at Rocburn couldn't have been more helpful in helping us to resolve the issue with technical support over the telephone that soon got us up and running again. I am very impressed with their excellent customer service and would highly recommend them.

I can not think of another company that has given such outstanding service. I placed an order for an electric opener. Adam called to make sure I was happy with the order and took time to explain the workings etc. we decided that it would not work. he then sorted through a different approach and we had another chat and agreed that because of the type of window that would not work either. he was simply fantastic in working with what the customer - me - needed rather than go for a quick sale. if there were 10 gold stars to award it would not be enough. well done Adam.

From my initial enquiry, Adam knew exactly what I needed for an all inclusive smoke vent kit. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly. Also, their prices are very competitive as I compared with a good few competitors. They were also much more engaging than the other companies i spoke with. Adam was very patient and understood the complexities of installing this type of product and spent a significant amount of time talking me and my guys through the correct installation process / procedures. I cannot rate them highly enough and very much appreciate Adam for all he did to get this window operational.

I have purchased a window opening actuator from Rocburn as a direct replacement for one which had failed on our conservatory. Having researched several companies Rocburn were by far the best on price and delivered the product to me in double quick time! On receipt, however, I soon discovered that whoever had fitted the original had made a number of 'modifications' and the replacement did not fit well!

The guys at Rocburn are great, and with a couple of phone calls and pictures to show the problem it was explained what the solution was and extra parts were in the post! We now have a fully functioning automatic roof vent. Thank you James and Adam. Great service, I wish everyone that I have to deal with was as good.

Hi James, Thanks so much for your great customer service. My builders misplaced the brackets for my motors and being the great company you are you sent me out a new set free of charge with next day delivery. With all the stresses of having your house rebuilt it's a breath of fresh air to have a great home grown company like Rocburn with a personal service to be flexible to do this for me. I highly recommend this company for all your verilux needs. Much appreciated James, keep up the good work. Thanks.

Rocburn's staff have been excellent in helping me choose, install and calibrate the actuator for my roof vent. They even took the trouble to email me photographs to illustrate my mounting options and then speak to me on the telephone to talk me through set up. Outstanding service.
