How do Electric Windows Work?

Before we discuss how easy electric windows are to repair, it’s important that we first understand exactly how they work.

Electric windows can open or close without the need for any physical interaction, they can be operated remotely through the use of an app or fully automated. They work by making use of a small, motorised device, known as an actuator, which is connected to a cable. This cable is then attached to the window through a conduit and, as a switched current is applied, the motor winds the cable which can open and close the window.

So, fairly straightforward right? The mechanism behind our electric windows is simple but extremely effective, with electric windows able to offer commercial buildings a range of benefits.
