Double Glazed Windows: The Best Choice for Modern Homes
Tilt & Turn Window
This unique modern European design has now become a popular choice in Australia. Simply turn the handle 45 degrees to initiate the ‘tilt position’ where the sash tilts inwards at the top to provide ventilation without having a wide open window. Turn the handle 180 degrees, and the window sash then hinges from one side enabling the window to fully open allowing maximum ventilation (or means of escape in case of emergency). This modern yet functional style offers security, good ventilation, effortless cleaning and a superior wind rating.
Awning Window
Traditional awning windows hinge from the top and wind out from the bottom using a smooth operating crank handle, creating the desired ventilation amount. When closed the double locking clips hold the sash securely in place for maximum security and protection from weather and noise. The awning system ensures a draught free seal which in fact seals more tightly under strong wind conditions against the window surface.
Casement Window
Casement windows are another style of window which provide a secure, functional yet attractive option. A casement window hinges from the side and opens outwards. Opening options include a push out system incorporating multi-point locking or a dual arm winder if flyscreens are required. They can be used independently or in pairs within a common frame, providing flexibility in design for either small or large spaces.
Sliding Window
Conventional sliding windows offer maximum functionality and ventilation in an easy to use design. Modern slide and stack designs look amazing and are super easy to use with a smooth sliding motion using innovative Kommerling hardware that provides superior sealing for security & weather proofing. Sliding & stacking windows can be used in multiple configurations for flexibility of design in either small or large spaces.
Fixed Window
Fixed or ‘Picture’ double glazed windows are a standard window design that adds the benefits of double glazing & a uPVC frame, perfect for letting in light with no obstructions from frame mechanisms. They offer high energy efficiency & security and can be made in any size from small to the largest sizes. Fixed frame windows are the first choice as picture frame windows to showcase hero views.
