Window automation: mechanical or electrical?

Who doesn't know them, the hand controls used to operate the high-pitched pop-out windows in a school classroom or sports hall? That switch or remote control that causes a window to open electrically somewhere far above your head, to provide natural ventilation or just to automatically close the window against falling rain?

Today, we still find that mechanical window controls are as popular as ever. But why? Well, mechanical window controls are known to be "hufter proof. This means they are perfect for locations where many children congregate, such as schools and gymnasiums. Also, mechanical window controls still remain a good choice in other locations where many people congregate.

But what about electric window controls? People often have the idea that this is a more expensive solution, but practice shows that this is not always the case. The electric window control is also extremely popular because it has a modern look and is available with many different options so that we can ensure the optimal comfort of ventilation. Here you can think of various sensors, such as a rain and wind sensor. But also the possibility to operate it via remote control or, for example, your smartphone.
