Mila has launched the new Advance™ French Casement Kit, enabling fabricators to convert the Advance™ C Track Twin Cam Espagnolette into a French casement shootbolt configuration – without the need for a separate shootbolt espag.
Comprising Grade 304 stainless steel adjustable shootbolts, profile-specific end guides, and a striker plate, the new kit consolidates multiple configurations into a single espagnolette. This makes fabrication simpler, reduces stock requirements, and meets the growing demand for French casement windows while offering the following benefits:


- Simple conversion – the kit transforms the Advance™ Twin Cam Espagnolette into a French casement shootbolt solution with no additional hardware required
- Advance French Casement Kit – currently available for Smarts Alitherm 400, offering fabricators an easy upgrade path.
- Broader compatibility – four tailored mushroom strikers expand the Advance™ Twin Cam C Track Espagnolette to work seamlessly with Garnalex Classic, Smarts Alitherm 400, Smarts Alitherm Heritage/300, and Reynaers aluminium systems.
- Easy to install – its threaded bar with adjustable shootbolt projection plus quick-fit components and profile-specific mullion end guides save time in fabrication
- Highest standards – the kit maintains PAS 24:2022 security and achieves BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 corrosion resistance, ensuring durability even in demanding environments
- Long-term performance – it is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel
Paul Pearson, Product Design Director at Mila, comments: “With French casements increasingly specified across both residential and commercial projects, our new Advance™ French Casement Kit gives fabricators a simple, cost-effective way to answer this growing call. It’s a simple solution that makes fabrication easier and stock requirements smaller – so it’s a real no-brainer for window fabricators.”
