Fakro ZST Telescopic Control Rod

Fakro ZST Telescopic Control Rod

The FAKRO ZST Telescopic Control Rod makes it easier to operate roof windows, blinds and insect screens installed in high or difficult-to-reach positions. Instead of needing a ladder or chair, the adjustable rod allows you to control compatible FAKRO accessories comfortably from floor level. Its telescopic design can be adjusted from 119cm to 218cm, making it easy to set the length according to the height of your room and the position of the window or accessory. For installations requiring even greater reach, the rod can be extended up to 330cm when used with an additional FAKRO ZSP Extension Piece.

Easy Operation of High-Level Roof Windows

The ZST is designed to provide convenient manual control of compatible FAKRO roof windows. Its adjustable length makes it particularly useful for pitched roofs where windows are positioned beyond normal reach. The rod can also be used to operate a selection of FAKRO internal accessories, including ARS, ARP and ARF blinds, AJP Venetian blinds and AMS insect screens. This makes it a versatile solution for controlling several roof window accessories with one adjustable tool.

Adjustable Telescopic Design

The ZST extends from 119cm to 218cm, allowing you to adjust the rod to suit different ceiling heights and window positions. If additional reach is required, a ZSP extension can be added to increase the overall reach to up to 330cm. This flexibility makes the rod suitable for a range of rooms and roof configurations, particularly where roof windows or blinds are installed high above floor level.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle

The ZST has been designed to provide a balance of low weight and durability, making it comfortable to use when opening windows or adjusting blinds and insect screens. Its secure sliding mechanism allows it to connect to compatible window handles and accessories for straightforward operation. The simple design means no additional tools are required for everyday use, providing a convenient way to access roof window accessories that would otherwise be difficult to reach.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
