Mila Advance French casement kit simplifies fabrication

Mila has launched the new Advance French casement kit, enabling fabricators to convert the Advance C Track twin cam espagnolette into a French casement shootbolt configuration – without the need for a separate shootbolt espag.

Comprising Grade 304 stainless steel adjustable shootbolts, profile-specific end guides, and a striker plate, the new kit consolidates multiple configurations into a single espagnolette. This makes fabrication simpler, reduces stock requirements, and meets the growing demand for French casement windows while offering the following benefits:

• Simple conversion: the kit transforms the Advance twin cam espagnolette into a French casement shootbolt solution with no additional hardware required.
• Advance French casement kit: currently available for Smarts Alitherm 400, offering fabricators an easy upgrade path.
• Broader compatibility: four tailored mushroom strikers expand the Advance twin cam C Track Espagnolette to work seamlessly with Garnalex Classic, Smarts Alitherm 400, Smarts Alitherm Heritage/300, and Reynaers aluminium systems.
• Easy to install: its threaded bar with adjustable shootbolt projection plus quick-fit components and profile-specific mullion end guides save time in fabrication.
• Highest standards: the kit maintains PAS 24:2022 security and achieves BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 corrosion resistance, ensuring durability even in demanding environments.
• Long-term performance: it is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel.

Paul Pearson, product design director at Mila, commented: “With French casements increasingly specified across both residential and commercial projects, our new Advance French casement Kit gives fabricators a simple, cost-effective way to answer this growing call. It’s a simple solution that makes fabrication easier and stock requirements smaller – so it’s a real no-brainer for window fabricators.”
