FGH-V GALERIA BALCONY A NEW DIMENSION TO THE

CONTACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

The FGH-V Galeria is an innovatory large window whose sashes, when open, form a balcony in the loft. The up- per top hung sash opens upwards with the lower sash sliding forwards and enabling free access to the balcony recess. Just a few steps is all it takes to find yourself "outside" and feel the sun rays, gusts of wind or admire beautiful views.

DURABILITY AND AESTHETICS

The upper sash is lifted steplessly up to an angle of 45. The side guardrails are integrated into the bottom sash and slide out during its opening. When closing the lower sash, the balcony guardrails hide in the window and do not protrude from the roof surface. They are hidden under the window cladding elements, thus they do not collect dirt or interfere with the aesthetics of the roof. After opening, the balcony railings are always dry and clean, which ensures trouble-free operation.

A NEW DIMENSION TO THE LOFT SAFETY

Both the upper and lower sashes are equipped with safety glazing units P2 with internal panes laminated and external toughened glass featur- ing easy maintenance coating. Inside the laminated glass, there can be found two layers of PVB film. Under such even children can play safely as potential breaking the internal glass does not pose any danger (pieces of glass remain attached to the film).

The balcony window as standard is equipped with an innovative structure re-enforcement system topSafe, thus offering increased burglary-resistance.

COMFORT OF USE

HANDLE ALWAYS WITHIN REACH

The window is operated by means of a handle situated in the lower section of the sash, making it always within easy reach, so the window can be freely opened and closed at all times. The window has a multi-point locking system without the traditional locking keep. After turning the handle, the sash is locked at both sides of the frame. The lower sash slides forwards. In order to close it, just release the locks located by the rails on the frame.
