Product Scope
ROPO supplied a full suite of PVC windows and doors:

PVC Tilt and Turn Windows

PVC Folding Windows

PVC Sliding Doors

PVC Fixed Windows

Each unit was fully compliant with the NZBC and custom-designed for both performance and elegance.

PVC Tilt and Turn Windows

PVC Tilt and Turn Windows are a popular window style in modern architecture, known for their versatility, energy efficiency, and security. Made from durable uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), these windows offer two opening options in one—tilt for ventilation and turn for full access—making them ideal for homes and buildings across various climates.

🔄 What Are Tilt and Turn Windows?

Tilt and turn windows have a dual-action mechanism:

Tilt: The top of the window tilts inward for safe, secure ventilation, especially useful during light rain.

Turn: The window swings inward like a casement window, allowing full opening for maximum airflow, easy cleaning, and emergency escape.

Electric Integral Blinds

Electric Integral Blinds are a modern, convenient solution for controlling light and privacy in homes and commercial buildings. They are blinds sealed between two panes of glass (usually in double or triple-glazed units), operated electronically instead of manually. Here's a quick breakdown of what they are, how they work, and their benefits:

🔍 What Are Electric Integral Blinds?

Electric integral blinds are motorised blinds housed inside the glass unit—meaning they're protected from dust, damage, and cleaning hassles. They're commonly found in windows, sliding doors, and bi-fold doors, especially in modern and high-end residential or commercial buildings.

The integral blinds are practical and beautiful, and the woodgrain finish gives a warm, natural feel. We are very happy with the outcome.
