Motorized Guillotine Windows
Want to get the best view from your balcony? This guide will provide everything you need about motorized Guillotine windows.
Motorized Guillotine Windows
Guillotine window is a type of window that operates by moving vertically. Traditional guillotine windows are composed of two vertically sliding frames and are operated manually. Modern guillotine windows can feature fixed frames at either the top or bottom, and can open from either the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom, utilizing multiple sliding frames. The most recent iterations of guillotine windows are equipped with automatic remote control for added convenience.
Anti-falling device
The weight reduction feature includes a patented fixer that secures the four corners of the window sash simultaneously using limiters in the frame. This restricts the window sash from moving only up and down along the slide groove of the window frame, providing double safety measures.
stabilizer
The movable sash is installed with a high-density alloy rack that closely meshes with the internal gears, ensuring no misalignment or slippage, precise lift control, and no fear of power failure.
Easy maintance
The motor and transmission system are connected with wires. If the motor gets damaged, we can unscrew the screw and easily remove the motor to replace it with a new one.
Emergency Power Supply
No need to worry about power outages, as we provide backup power. When the main power is off, you can switch to the backup power and control the guillotine window as usual.
24V Silent Motor
When exposed to water, our motors do not pose an electrocution risk.
Our motor is designed specifically for motorized guillotine windows, featuring low power and low voltage. Thanks to its reliable and simple brush motor structure and its low-voltage and low-power design, the motor’s performance is stable, less prone to damage, and has a longer service life.
Under load, it is equivalent to a 20W power Apple charger. Taking our window as an example (2.8 meters wide, 2.2 meters high), one unit of electricity can raise and lower it about 700 times. This demonstrates the strength and stability of our motor.
Moreover, maintenance and replacement are much simpler in the event of motor failure, requiring only the disassembly of the handrail and motor cover.
Safety Glass
Laminated Glass
Two pieces of 8mm tempered glass are sandwiched with a 2.28mm PVB interlayer, so that even if the glass is broken, the fragments will be stuck to the interlayer, preventing splashes and injuries. Also increase the sound and heat insulation of the window.
Double Glazed Glass
Double glazed glass consists of two pieces of 6mm or 8mm tempered glass, filled with 12mm or 15mm argon, which will effectively block heat conduction and sound transmission, while enhancing overall structural stability and resistance to greater wind pressure.
Mosquito screen
The mosquito screen is available in manual and motorized options, with different mesh and colors to choose from.

How to maintain motorized guillotine windows?
Regular maintenance after installing the guillotine windows will increase its lifespan. Follow the tips below to maintain the guillotine windows.
Clean
1. Window frame and track cleaning
- To clean the window frame, use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp rag to wipe away dust and stains. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of a neutral cleaner and gently wipe the area. Be sure to dry it immediately with a dry cloth to prevent any cleaning agent residue from damaging the window frame material.
- To maintain the functionality of your guillotine windows, regularly clean the track. Start by using a small brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the track. Afterward, wipe it down with a damp cloth to ensure a smooth surface, which will help with the window’s lifting mechanism.
2. Glass cleaning
- Select a special glass cleaner or use mild soap and water. Spray the cleaner directly onto the glass surface or apply it to a damp cloth. Then, gently wipe the glass in smooth, even strokes from one side to the other to prevent leaving water stains and marks.
- For higher or hard-to-reach areas, use a long-handled cleaning tool or consider hiring a professional cleaner to ensure a thorough and safe cleaning.
Maintenance
1. Maintenance of mechanical parts
- To maintain smooth operation and reduce wear, as well as minimize noise, apply an appropriate amount of special lubricant—such as lubricant oil or grease—to the moving parts of the window frames, like pulleys and hinges, every 3 to 6 months.
- Also, regularly check the sealing rubber strips of the guillotine windows. If you notice any signs of aging, hardening, deformation, or cracking, replace them promptly. These sealing strips are crucial for maintaining the window’s seal, waterproofing, and soundproofing abilities. Routine replacement will ensure they continue to perform effectively.
2. Electrical System Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the power cords, plugs, and controls of electric guillotine windows for any signs of damage, looseness, or wear due to aging. If any issues are detected, they should be repaired or replaced promptly to ensure the electrical system remains safe and reliable.
- Avoid operating the control device in humid or waterlogged environments, as this can lead to short circuits and malfunctions. Additionally, stay clear of fire sources and high-temperature areas to protect the electrical components from potential damage.
Daily Inspection and Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the overall structure of the guillotine window, paying close attention to the connections between the window frame and the wall, as well as checking for any loose screws. If you find any looseness, be sure to tighten it promptly to ensure the window is securely installed.
- Additionally, observe how the guillotine window operates, noting whether it opens smoothly or makes any unusual noises. Investigate any issues and address them in a timely manner. For instance, if the guillotine window is difficult to lift, it could be due to debris in the track or a damaged pulley. In such cases, clean the track or replace any damaged parts as necessary.
Precautions
- When cleaning and maintaining the motorized guillotine window, always start by disconnecting the power supply to prevent the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid using sharp or rough tools to clean the window, as this can scratch the window frame and glass surface.
- Do not push, pull, or lift the window with excessive force, as this may damage the mechanical components.
- Regular cleaning and maintenance will help extend the lifespan of the motorized guillotine window and keep it functioning properly while maintaining its appearance.

what are the maintenance requirements for guillotine windows
It's important to regularly inspect the ropes or chains supporting the window's weight. In older homes with sash windows, issues with window operation can be addressed by replacing broken ropes. Additionally, check the counterweight system in guillotine windows for smooth operation. Lastly, materials like aluminum and stainless steel require minimal maintenance but should be periodically checked for wear or damage to extend their service life.
how often should guillotine windows be cleaned to maintain their performance?
We suggest you clean the guillotine windows twice yearly to maintain performance. This advice applies to windows generally, ensuring they remain clear and efficient and have a longer lifespan. However, it depends on your environment and the window's exposure to dirt and debris. Suppose your guillotine windows are exposed to factors that cause them to get dirty more quickly, such as near busy roads, industrial areas, or trees. In that case, it is necessary to clear the windows more often to maintain the functionality.
