Efficient fabrication. Simplified installation. Proven performance.

aluPilot has been shortlisted for Window Component of the Year at the 2026 National Fenestration Awards.

Designed to make aluminium window production faster and simpler, aluPilot eliminates several traditional fabrication steps, including sash machining, screwing, and rod cutting.

By saving up to 10 minutes per sash, it can help fabricators increase throughput, reduce opportunities for error, and achieve consistent, high quality results at scale.

Having won this category in 2025, we are incredibly proud to see aluPilot recognised once again.

If aluPilot has made a difference to your production process, we would be very grateful for your vote. Vote here: https://www.fenestrationawards.co.uk/nfa26/ Voting closes at 5pm on Friday 18 September.

Smart access should not feel like an afterthought. That is why Crafted Synergy brings the locking system, cylinder, protective hardware, and smart control together as one complete, integrated ecosystem.

At its heart, Polaris enables homeowners to control access through an app, remote fob, or key, while working with proven Winkhaus locking systems.

We are delighted to see this different approach to smart security recognised by the industry.
If you believe smart technology should be integrated, reliable, and designed as part of the complete doorset, please vote for Crafted Synergy with Polaris:

Low force by design. Fewer call backs by consequence.

Doors naturally move as temperatures and conditions change. When tolerances tighten, a locking system that already requires significant force can become harder to operate, leading to adjustment visits, call backs, and frustrated homeowners.

Crafted Synergy helps mitigate this challenge by bringing together components designed to operate efficiently as one complete system.

At its heart, the Winkhaus AV4 automatic multi-point lock requires up to 70% less force to operate than competitor products. This helps provide greater tolerance for normal door movement and thermal expansion, keeping the door easier to lock and unlock as conditions change.

For fabricators and installers, that can mean fewer avoidable call backs. For homeowners, it means smoother, easier operation. For Polaris smart technology, it means less strain and more efficient performance.

Because smart technology performs at its best when it is not fighting against the door.
Crafted Synergy. Low force by design.

Please join us in giving Adrian a very warm welcome to Winkhaus UK.

Andy Meakin, Sales Director

“Adrian is exactly the type of person you want in your team. People with his level of industry experience, customer relationships, and commercial understanding do not become available very often, so when the opportunity arose to bring him into Winkhaus, it was one we were determined to pursue.

“He has an excellent reputation within the industry, understands customers and the challenges they face, and brings knowledge and credibility that will make an immediate difference. Just as importantly, Adrian shares the values we champion at Winkhaus: putting customers first, building strong relationships, and delivering results.

“We are incredibly pleased that he has chosen Winkhaus for the next stage of his career. I am confident he will make a significant impact on our customers, our team, and the continued growth of the business, and I am delighted to welcome him to Winkhaus UK.”

Smart technology should create new opportunities, not new support burdens.

Introducing a connected product involves more than selecting the right hardware. Sales teams need to explain it, installers need to fit and commission it, and homeowners need to use it with confidence.

That is why we have created the dedicated Polaris YouTube channel.
It gives fabricators and their installer networks one trusted place to:
▶ Demonstrate Polaris during the sales process
▶ Support installation and commissioning
▶ Share clear guidance at handover
▶ Answer everyday homeowner questions
▶ Keep up with new features and app updates

By helping customers find clear answers quickly, the channel can reduce routine support calls and support confident adoption.

Sell with confidence. Install with confidence. Support with confidence.

More than a door

Homeowners may choose a door based on its colour, glazing, furniture, and design, but its true value is experienced in the way it performs every day.
• How smoothly does it close?
• How easy is it to lock?
• How reliably do the mechanical and smart elements work together?

Our latest article explores why it is time to move the conversation beyond appearance and focus on the hardware at the heart of the door.

Discover how fabricators and installers can differentiate their offer, reduce call backs, and sell more than a door: https://www.winkhaus.co.uk/en/latest-news/more_than_a_door
