More living comfort and security HAHN Gasfedern for building technology

In building technology, windows and awnings are indispensable for providing fresh air, light, and shade as well as for ensuring safety. When it comes to roof skylights, emergency exit windows, or smoke exhaust windows, these components must be easy to operate and ready for use at any time to ensure safety even in the event of a power failure or fire. HAHN gas springs and dampers meet these exacting requirements, and at the same time offer maximum convenience and easy to use. They are also suitable for many other applications around the home.

Applications

Roof windows

that are easy and safe to open

If you have the choice between roof windows and dormer windows, you often opt for the former. They let in more light and open up an unencumbered view to the outside world. The big challenge is, however, the larger and more light-flooded the window, the heavier it is. With HAHN gas springs, opening and closing even very heavy roof windows is effortless and convenient. Our gas springs allow the windows to be locked in intermediate positions, ensuring safe and flexible operation. For special applications, such as roof windows in greenhouses, we offer stainless steel springs with high-temperature seals and squeegees. These springs are designed to withstand high temperatures and the chemical cleaning agents commonly used in such environments.

Egress windows

for safety when it matters

In an emergency, egress windows must be able to be opened quickly and easily to serve as an escape route. Chimney sweeps and tradesmen can also utilize these windows for easier access to the roof. Thanks to our gas springs, the windows can be reliably and continuously locked in any position, providing reliable protection against accidental slamming.

Smoke exhaust windows and panels

for reliable fire protection

In the event of a fire, smoke exhaust windows and panels as well as fire protection windows perform a crucial role. Due to their ability to function as a chimney, they open automatically when smoke forms in order to direct the smoke outside via a draft. Our robust gas springs and dampers ensure that these windows and panels open reliably. Our gas springs are installed pre-tensioned or activated by a gas cartridge, which ensures an immediate response. The integrated damping prevents damage by restricting the panels and windows from opening too much, thus reducing material stress.

Retractable awnings

for light and durable sun protection

Retractable awnings are becoming increasingly popular means for sun protection. Since they are permanently installed, they require less space than sunshades, which often get blown into exit routes in bad weather. HAHN gas springs also allow for considerable weight savings in the construction, giving you more freedom for implementing creative design ideas. Our gas springs have a uniform force curve, as opposed to conventional tension springs, which have an ever-increasing force curve. This generally makes it much easier to extend and retract awnings. Our gas springs also extend the life of the awning material by softening traction forces and thereby increasing the longevity of the awning. Particularly noteworthy are our springs with low progression and very long strokes, such as the G8-28 and G10-40 models, which were specially developed for awnings.

Manhole covers

that are safe and easy to maintain

Our gas springs and dampers in V2A and V4A stainless steel are ideal for manhole covers in building technology. They allow for the safe and controlled opening and closing of heavy covers and prevent them from being slammed shut abruptly. Especially in damp environments, such as cellar shafts or water pipes, the rust-proof materials impress with their high corrosion resistance and durability.

Sliding doors

that glide smoothly with SDD door dampers

Our sliding door dampers (SDD) ensure the smooth and controlled movement of sliding doors. The damper combines the function of a gas spring with an oil brake, allowing for even heavy doors to be silently closed.

Glass elements

Elegance and easy operation of height-adjustable glass elements

The systems of our various customers, which utilize height-adjustable glass elements as wind protection, for example, offer outstanding elegance and impressive ease of use. And they rely on the use of HAHN gas springs, which can be deployed flexibly and adjusted individually. These systems, with their various models, offer the ultimate solution for business premises, such as restaurants, cafés, and hotels.

Efficient waste management systems

Some manufacturers have developed and produced impressively efficient waste management systems. The products are designed to be easy to install, operate, and maintain. They also rely on solutions from HAHN Gasfedern. For example, large and robust gas springs are used in retractable waste containers for maximum stability and reliability.
