The guides along which the movement of the transom is located are flush with the profile itself. The place remains unchanged, both in the closed and in the open position of the sash.

To give them an aesthetic look paint is applied the same color with the profile. They are located at the top and bottom of the window.

Since most of the load falls on the upper bridge, it is made stronger and more stable than the lower one. The carriage is attached to the leaf. This metal device allows the flap to move smoothly along the runners. Movable fittings are provided with rubber pads, creating noiseless movement of the sash.
