Frequently Asked Questions
What does “economy” mean for this window?
The Swartland Kayo “economy” range uses a 28mm aluminium section (compared to the 30.5mm mid-level section used in premium ranges) and mild steel hinges rather than stainless steel. This makes it a more affordable option for standard residential applications where coastal corrosion resistance or heavy-duty performance is not a primary requirement.
What is a top hung window?
A top hung window is hinged at the top of the frame and opens outward from the bottom. This allows ventilation while providing natural weather protection — rain is deflected by the open sash. It is one of the most common window types used in South African residential construction.
What is the difference between structural opening size and actual window size?
The structural opening (600 × 1200mm) is the size of the hole in the wall the window is designed to fit. The actual window size (590 × 1190mm) is the physical frame dimension, which is slightly smaller to allow for installation clearance and fixing. Always order based on your structural opening size.
What does AAMSA certified mean?
AAMSA (Aluminium Association of South Africa) certification confirms that the window meets the South African national standard for aluminium window construction, including section strength, weatherproofing, and performance. SANS A1 is the relevant South African National Standard classification for this window type.
Is this window suitable for coastal environments?
The KPT612 uses mild steel hinges, which are less corrosion-resistant than stainless steel. For coastal or high-humidity environments, we recommend considering a window with stainless steel hinges. Contact Doors Direct for guidance on the most suitable option for your location.
