House and Building Technology
Invisible Everyday Helpers
Gas springs and dampers assume important functions in house and building technology, both for our daily comfort, as well as our safety.
They ensure that smoke exhaust vents can be opened even during a power outage. And when used on emergency exit windows, maintenance workers gain roof access.
Skylights give rooms a special flair. They let in more light than dormers and provide an unobstructed view. But as their size increases, so does their weight.
Function
Even very heavy skylights can be opened and closed easily and conveniently when equipped with gas springs from Stabilus. They allow fixing the window in intermediate positions, protecting it from damage. In strong winds, our gas springs will dampen impacts. The damping characteristics of the gas spring will also prevent the window from being closed too fast or noisily. Ideal protection against glass breakage or damage to the frame.
Your Advantage
- Less effort required during opening and closing
- Low space requirement
- Will stay in intermediate positions
- Lower risk of damage to the window
Our Solutions at a Glance
- LIFT-O-MAT – gas spring for convenient opening and closing
- INTER-STOP – gas spring for convenient opening with holding function at different opening angles
- HYDRO-LIFT – gas spring for variable tilt adjustment without actuation mechanism
Whether as a second escape exit or for roof access – roof windows must open fast and easily.
With a reliable, variable locking action in any position, our gas springs will also guarantee a maximum of safety by preventing the window from accidentally falling shut.
Function
When equipped with Stabilus gas springs and dampers, even heavy emergency exit windows can be operated with ease. In addition, our products will provide protection against damage to window and frame. They will safely dampen impacts even in strong winds. Thanks to the damping function, glass breakage caused by windows slamming shut will be a thing of the past.
Your Advantage
- Convenient exit due to flexible opening
- Less effort required for opening and closing
- Low space requirement
- Will stay in intermediate positions
- Lower risk of damage to the window
Our Solutions at a Glance
- LIFT-O-MAT – gas spring for convenient, force-assisted opening and closing
- INTER-STOP – gas spring for convenient opening with hold function at different opening angles
- STAB-O-SHOC - for force-supported, dampened closing
In the event of a fire, smoke exhaust vents and fire resistant windows or smoke exhaust flaps act as smokestacks.
If smoke develops, the window will open and the resulting draft will evacuate the smoke to the outside. Here, reliability is the most important aspect. Only if the window opens reliably will smoke inhalation be avoided.
Function
Our products make life a little safer. We offer the properly designed gas springs and dampers, which are either installed pre-tensioned or “shot on” using a gas cartridge. The damping of the gas spring will prevent damage to the fire resistant window or the smoke exhaust flap. It will also prevent the smoke exhaust flap from opening too wide and slamming into the roof or from being damaged due to high stresses in the material.
Your Advantage
- Reliable, strong opening action

Awnings are a popular means of protection from the sun. Permanently mounted, they require less effort than an umbrella, which is only in the way when the skies are gray. Gas springs from Stabilus will ensure easy and convenient operation.
Function
The advantage of Stabilus gas springs is that their force curve is uniform – unlike conventional springs, whose tension will become progressively stronger. This allows opening and retracting awnings much more easily. In addition, our gas springs will save you significant weight during construction, making room for new design ideas. In strong winds, gas springs will save the awning fabric from wear and tear by dampening tensile forces.
Your Advantage
- More leeway for design ideas
- Ease of operation
- Significant weight reduction
- Lower fabric wear and tear
