Double glazed windows and doors range of open-out Casement Windows not only provides increased insulation, security and unbeatable performance, but also carries with it a lasting elegance of a classic design. 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. Just like Casements, Side Hinged Double Glazed windows are particularly suited to architectural designs incorporating Mediterranean revival, English Tudor or Contemporary elements.

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.

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!

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.

Low Maintenace

 

Upvc is the ideal frame material due to its inherent qualities of resistance to corrosion, fire, water, and sunlight. Apart from the most obvious applications in coastal areas where salt destroys the appearance and function of aluminium windows, while wooden windows must be specially treated with chemicals or paint, upvc frames have also been used in commercial and industrial applications and in areas of high pollution or for high impact winds. In addition, the upvc composition includes ultra-violet components, which reflect the sunlight and resist damage. The profile will not warp because it contains aluminium or steel reinforcement and wont need to be repainted, chemically treated, polished or cleaned. However, cleaning may be required for glass, intermittently, as desired, which will be necessary regardless of the frame material used. Our upvc Double Glazed Windows and Doors are ideal for the get and forget consumer! The low maintenance factor of upvc windows and doors exceeds that of any other frame material, saves your time and energy for the important things in life!   For supplementary material on double glazed low maintenace click here

High Performance

 

For windows and doors that do more than just open and close, but actually work for you to reduce your household or office energy bill by utilizing an energy efficient profile system and double glazing. Convenient and comfortable in many ways, they are an essential part of insulating your home or office, for a more sustainable living experience. A standard aluminium sliding window can add 40% heating/ cooling loss in the home. Would you purchase an appliance that can only ever operate at a maximum 60% capacity? But this is essentially what you are doing when your home is poorly insulated! The same high performance extends to acoustic insulation, with a potential reduction of 45dB in our casement, awning, tilt&turn and bifold range. The high-tech weather seal in combination with fusion welding of frames and sashes make the windows completely air and water tight - they have been tested to withstand even cyclone strength winds!   Great suggestions and more on double glazed high performance can be found here

 
     
 

Corrosion Resistance

Upvc frames provide many construction advantages due to the material's inherent corrosion resistance, lightweight, ease of fabrication, and other labor-saving characteristics. In addition, upvc frames are high precision and can be manufactured to a tolerable value of +/-3mm, which is ideal for demanding architectural applications.   Get all the facts on double glazed corrosion resistance
