NP Ultra mechanism

Tilt and turn closing mechanism NP Ultra Tilt and turn closing mechanism standard or in Logica version with NP ULTRA movement. Kit necessary for the creation of a Tilt and Turn window or Logical, in case you use the NP ULTRA handle. It must be completed with Giesse Arms and Hinges. Customizable mechanism and packaging with customer logo Finishes: raw Tilt and turn mechanism or one-way mechanism NP Ultra One-way mechanism, which can be operated by means of an NP ULTRA handle, for the movement of the tilt-and-turn closing mechanisms or a bidirectional mechanism, which can be operated by means of an NP ULTRA handle, for the movement of the leaf closing mechanisms. It can be used in combination with the NP ULTRA Tilt & Turn Handle (5 mm hexagon). It locks to the profile by means of 2 self-drilling screws supplied. No milling operations are required on the tubularity of the sash, but a simple processing on the flap (3 holes Ø6.2 mm) is sufficient. The movement is ambidextrous and is equipped with a false manoeuvring device, which prevents the rotation of the handle when the door is open.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner

GIESSE S.p.A. founded in 1965, in the province of Bologna, is specialized in the production of manual accessories for aluminum windows and doors. In 2016 it was acquired by Schlegel, a leading British company in the sealing systems sector. Both companies were part of the international division of Tyman PLC, a group listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a commercial network capable of reaching customers in over 100 countries and offering them the highest degree of satisfaction, a wide range of standard components and boasts over 150 patents filed. In 2024, the entire Tyman group and its brands, including Giesse, were acquired by the American multinational Quanex, forming a new major group in the sector, with a turnover of over 2 billion. Quanex Building Products Corporation, listed on the NY Stock Exchange, is a manufacturing group that offers building product solutions that include hardware solutions (door/window hardware, screens), extruded solutions (spacers, vinyl profiles for doors and windows, gaskets and sealing systems) and custom solutions (solutions for the wood, mixed and building access industries.

Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
Disclaimer 2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties of these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator.

Additional environmental information

Main materials used to build the accessories are recyclable.

- It is recommended that accessories, packaging, etc. are disposed of accordingly, with local

disposal regulations and sent to a recycling unit for recovery and recycling

- Before sent to disposal itʼs recommended to separate the materials as below:

Steel / Stainless Steel: Ferrous metals

Aluminium alloy / Zinc alloy: Non-ferrous metals

Plastic components (PA, PP, PE, POM, etc): Plastic wastes
