Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Economy Level timber window range?

The Economy Level range is an A-grade solid meranti timber window range designed for low-cost residential developments. It uses the same quality timber and craftsmanship as the mid-level range, but with slightly thinner timber sections and cranked steel hinges and peg stays instead of friction hinges and brass handles — making it the most widely used timber window range in South Africa.

What is a top-hung opener?

A top-hung opener is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. This allows ventilation while keeping rain out, and is ideal for bathrooms, utility rooms, and high wall positions where a side-opening casement is not practical.

Does this window include glass?

No. Glass is not included. Timber windows are supplied as frames only — glass must be sourced and fitted separately by your glazier.

What direction does this window open?

This window opens outward. South African timber windows are supplied for outward opening only as standard.

What hardware is supplied?

The WE1 is supplied with yellow passivated cranked steel hinges and a yellow passivated steel peg and stay. No additional hardware is required for the opening casement.

What are the frame opening dimensions?

The frame opening is 540mm wide × 587mm high × 55mm deep. Always verify your wall opening dimensions before ordering.

What is the lead time?

The current lead time is 14–21 days from order confirmation. Nationwide delivery across South Africa is available.
