Advantages of viewing rotary windows
- Viewing openings in the gates help the driver to assess the situation before leaving the premises, to identify and eliminate the obstacle in advance before the gate opens.
- The windows have a standard size and are easy to change. Special latches are provided for quick installation. Similar window designs are used by many popular gate manufacturers.
- Since many warehouses are insufficiently lit, the through-insulated windows in the fabric of the gate provide additional lighting during the daytime.
Design flaws
In addition to the obvious advantages of viewing openings, there are also disadvantages:
- The strength of the lamella decreases, since a rather large cutout is made in the lamella web. This is especially critical with large gate sizes, it is not recommended to install gates with windows on openings with a width of more than 4-5 meters.
- The plastic from which the windows are made is quite fragile and prone to scratches. With prolonged use, scuffs may occur.
Production features
The size of the windows in height is 60 mm, in width 155 mm. It is not recommended to install several windows on one lamella at a close distance from each other, the optimal distance is 150-300 mm.
