Established in 2014, Wuhan Fortis Building Technology Co., Ltd. spans an expansive production space of 38,000 square meters. Rooted in 12 years of specialized manufacturing experience and 9 years in international export operations, our annual export revenue reaches $34 million. We primarily serve real estate developers, hotel construction companies, and hardware distributors across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Product reliability is assured by 48 certified QC specialists executing structural stress tests, hardware cycle endurance checks, and salt spray corrosion testing. With a robust network of 950 supply chain suppliers, Fortis provides customized solutions ranging from motorized sliding mechanisms to ultra-narrow frame sightlines. Powered by 60 R&D engineers, the company introduced 75 new energy-efficient window models last year.
Navigating EPB Climate Compliance, Maritime Weather Stress, & Urban Density in Western Europe
Belgium’s temperate maritime climate exposes building envelopes to heavy rainfall, rapid temperature oscillations, and intense North Sea storm winds. In cities like Ostend, Zeebrugge, and Antwerp, window installations must meet rigorous structural integrity benchmarks under EN 12210 (Wind Load Class C5) and water tightness standard EN 12208 (Class 9A or higher).
Fortis electric lifting windows utilize multi-layered EPDM rubber gaskets combined with specialized hidden drainage channels. The vertical lift mechanism maintains active perimeter compression seal dynamics, preventing moisture penetration during severe gale-force weather events typical of the Flanders coastline.
Under the Belgian EPB (Energieprestatie en Binnenklimaat) regulations enforced across Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels-Capital Region, real estate developers face stringent total building energy thresholds (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings - NZEB). Windows account for up to 30% of thermal wall heat exchange.
By pairing multi-chambered 6063-T6 extruded aluminum with techno-polymer PA66 thermal breaks and argon-filled double/triple Low-E insulating glass units (IGUs), Fortis motorized windows achieve overall U-values down to 0.78 W/m²K, drastically lowering HVAC consumption for Belgian commercial and high-end residential projects.

Our 60 R&D engineers are actively prototyping Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) semi-transparent glass sashes. These units generate clean solar electricity directly from the vertical window plane, offsetting motor power usage and feeding clean energy back into the building grid.
Integrating machine learning algorithms into window microcontrollers allows automated adjustment based on real-time weather forecasts, solar radiation angles, and internal CO2 levels, eliminating manual operation while optimizing indoor climate efficiency.
Committing to European Green Deal directives, Fortis is expanding its supply chain to incorporate 80%+ recycled aluminum extrusions, drastically lowering the embodied carbon footprint of every window system exported to Belgium and the EU.
