Light, air, safety: windows and folding-arm awnings Gas springs and dampers for construction
Windows are both functional and stylish. They let the outdoors in and provide light, fresh air, shade, and safety. And awnings protect us from rain and sunlight, whether on the patio at home or on mobile retail vehicles and other mobile applications.
In the wide-ranging portfolio of Stabilus gas springs and dampers, you’ll find the right solution for every application from both a technical and design standpoint. The same holds true for skylights and windows for egress and smoke ventilation, which have high requirements for ease of operation and secure functionality – even in critical situations such as a power outage or fire.
Skylight
Skylights have a knack for lending a particular type of flair. They let in more light than a dormer window and open up your view to the outside world. The big challenge: The bigger they are, the more light they let in – and the heavier they become. A corresponding amount of force assistance is needed for manual opening and closing.
Functionality
When equipped with Stabilus gas springs, even very heavy skylights can be opened and closed with ease and comfort. Our gas springs also enable retention of the window in intermediate positions, thus providing secure protection.
Benefits to you
- ease of opening and closing
- small space requirement
- secure retention even in intermediate positions
- considerably reduced risk of damage to window

LIFT-O-MAT
Gas springs for comfortable, force-assisted opening and closing
INTER-STOP
Gas springs for comfortable opening with multi-angle position lock function
HYDRO-LIFT
Gas springs for variable angle adjustment without actuating mechanism
Emergency exit windows
In an emergency, egress windows that are part of exit routes must open quickly and easily. Egress windows also improve roof accessibility for chimney sweeps and contractors.
Functionality
Retention in intermediate positions prevents windows from inadvertently slamming shut. With our gas springs, windows can be variably adjusted to any position and securely locked.
Benefits to you
- comfortable exit due to flexible opening
- ease of opening and closing
- small space requirement
- secure retention even in intermediate positions
- considerably reduced risk of damage to window

Smoke vent windows and panels
In the event of a fire, smoke vent windows and panels as well as fire protection windows create a chimney effect: These windows open automatically upon smoke development, pulling the smoke outside via the draft.
Functionality
Reliable opening of smoke vent windows and panels can save lives during an incident. Our heavy-duty gas springs and dampers are installed under tension or are “compressed” via a gas cartridge. Gas spring damping helps prevent damage to the fire protection window or smoke vent panel. It also keeps the smoke vent panel from opening too wide. That means that it can’t hit the roof or cause damage to property due to excessive tension.
Benefits to you
- reliably strong opening power
- ease of opening and closing

Folding-arm awnings
Awnings are an increasingly popular option for sun shading. Unlike patio umbrellas that take up excessive space when bad weather threatens, the permanent attachment of awnings means they generally require less work. Moreover, the structure is considerably lighter with our gas springs, leaving more freedom for dreaming up design ideas.
Functionality
Stabilus gas springs have a uniform force curve, as opposed to conventional tension springs, which have an ever-increasing force curve. This generally makes it easier to extend and retract awnings. Our gas springs also extend the life of the awning material by softening traction forces.
Benefits to you
- more freedom of design
- easier operation
- lightweight and smooth running
- reduced material wear
