This type of double glazed window is characterised by efficient weather and waterproofing when closed; and when open, the advantage of having an entire area open to air flow, catching the breeze easily.

Side Hinged Windows are uncomplicated and cost-efficient, and when combined with our double glazed units, and offer exceptional improvements in performance when compared against ordinary aluminium or wooden windows. The Side Hinged Double Glazed Window is just as popular with customers renovating as it is with those who are building a new home.

Casement and Side Hinged windows are the earliest type of window recorded, so it isn't surprising they remain a favourite choice for residential and commercial applications. Since these windows are hinged at the side, they open along their entire length, which is important for an indoor/outdoor space connection. Consider the size and placement of Side Hinged Double Glazed Windows and combine with Fixed Double Glazed panels to maximise effect.

Side Hinged windows are sought after in the kitchen above the sink, because they are easy to reach and open, the fact that they open out and provide considerable ventilation are added advantages that explain their popularity. The Side Hinged Double Glazed window is both a versatile and a heavy-duty option designed to be easy even in the most demanding Australian environments. However, since the Side Hinged Double Glazed Window opens out, it is important to consider any obstruction on the exterior of the building, such as trees, rubbish bins or a fence in the planning stage.

 
     
         
 

IGU for double glazed side hinged windows

 
         
   

Double Glazed Units or IGU are the intelligent choice for consumers who appreciate performance and quality, and are supplied based on thermal or acoustic requirements.
We use 32mm insulated sealed units made locally and fulfilling all the requirements of Australian Standards for glass and glazing. Glazing options include Float, Laminated, Toughened, Low-e, Tinted and Obscure glass.
The air space between the glass layers may be filled with air or an inert gas, such as argon or krypton which improves thermal and acoustic performance and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by saving energy!

 
         
 

There are many benefits to utilizing double glazing in your home, and apart from substantial improvement in thermal and acoustic comfort our customers report a reduction in energy costs, elimination of condensation, a considerable decline in fading of furniture and artwork and improvement in visual attractiveness and increase in the resale value of your home. In addition, for clients with older homes that retained original features, the existing glass may not meet the current Australian standards and may even be deemed unsafe. This is especially true of doors & bathroom windows, where safety glass and obscure glass, respectively, is not only desirable but mandatory! Take this opportunity to upgrade the windows and doors in your home and enjoy the benefits now and in the future!    [ IGU for double glazed side hinged windows. . . . ]

 
         
         
         
 

Hardware for double glazed side hinged windows

 
 

Twin-cam Security Lock (TSL)

 
  Twin-cam Security Lock (TSL). Up to eight locking points with adjustable twin-cams offer even greater security against burglary. The unique gear mechanism operates the reverse-action twin cams. All cams engage in behind individual recesses on both sides of the striker; in both the locking and night-vent position.
Attempts to force a cam out of its locked position only drive the other cam deeper into its recess. The "Twin-cam Security Lock" stands for high security and effective resistance against lateral forces as well as easy operation.
 
       
 

The Espagnolette Handle

 
  The MK3 espagnolette handles are ideal for use with outward opening double glazed window systems, including TSL. Operation of the handle is achieved by simply pushing the button and opening to a holding position. The handle will automatically re-locate to a locked position upon closure. The key supplied will provide a deadlock to the cylinder.  
       
 

Friction Stays

 
  Awning and casement Double Glazed windows are using stainless steel friction stays and locking or non-locking handles which are available in a variety of finishes.

Draft Proof

 

There are significant savings in electricity that will pay for your windows in 6-7 years and will reduce your CO2 emissions by about 100-150kg per year. For an indication of energy efficiency of a window or door, look for the U-value or R-value. U-value measures the overall heat transfer coefficient, or how well the window/door conducts heat and is also the inverse of the R-value. The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. Our windows boast a value of 1.8, which means they perform three times better than an aluminium framed window with a typical value of 5.4-5.6. And since windows can contribute to between 15-40% energy loss in a building, installing the most energy efficient windows available should be the intelligent homeowner's priority.   Continued on the double glazed draft proof page
