SIMPLY EVERYTHINGVBH paves the way to newtechnologiesIn search for innovation, the experts inwindow and door hardware from VBHregularly look beyond their own industryhorizons to expand their view. Forin the combination of new technologies,for example from the telecommunicationsand automotive industries,there often emerge new product solutionsfor window and door manufacturers.Several new products werefirst introduced to the internationalaudience at the fensterbau/frontal: agreenteQ window catch with built-inalarm and air-conditioning function,the greenteQ Jet-Fast fast chipboardscrew with patented thread geometryand greenteQ mortise locks.greenteQ window catch alarm with climate control functionand cell phone technology"With our new VDS-certified greenteQwindow catch alarm with climate controlfunction, electronics technologieswere employed that have already beenproven in millions of mobile phones.The combination allows the placementof important functions in a very smallspace and an aesthetic form factor– and all at a reasonable price, "saysMarkus Roeser, Category Manager atVBH. The new greenteQ window catchintegrates the entire alarm and air conditioningtechnology in the rosette –including commercial ½ AA battery, 3-Dmotion sensor and climate sensor. Inthe event of a glass breakage or shatteringof the window a clear warningsignal (110 to 115 dB) is emitted. A lightring signals a high humidity level with aconcomitant need for ventilation. Otherbenefits include easy installation andease of use in the function and batteryreplacement. All existing windowscan be upgraded easily and quickly byreplacing the handles. By closing thewindow (handle in six-o-clock-setting)the alarm is automatically activatedand a confirmation tone generated. Onopening, the feature is disabled automatically.The small footprint of mobiletechnology also allows for an almostuniform appearance with handles fromthe existing greenteQ window handlerange. Expected from August, the newgreenteQ window handle is availablein a stainless steel version from VBH.Other shapes and designs to follow.The rapid screw: greenteQJet-FastWith the greenteQ Jet-Fast chipboardscrew, VBH presents a solution tomake window and door manufacturers,craftsmen and technicians' daily workmuch easier. greenteQ Jet-Fast is fast,stable and suitable for universal use inwood and wood composite materialsand plastics. The secret is the patentedthread design that allows for faster andeasier countersinking of the screw. Theeasy penetration of the materials andthe removal of chips securely deliversvarious concave threaded inserts. Adual countersunk head with milling ribsprovides a clean penetration and evenin peripheral areas thanks to a countersinkslit the screw can fix in combinationwith a serrated shatterproof blade.The fast screw is one of the highlights inthe extended range of greenteQ rangeof fixings and is now available in differentsizes and lengths of 16-120 mm, asPZD Phillips or i-Star (TX) with full orpartial thread.14VBH Magazin 01/2012
