Frequently Asked Questions
What timber is used in the BG4 window?
The BG4 is manufactured from solid Meranti timber — a dense, durable hardwood well-suited to the South African climate and ideal for painting or staining.
What does top-hung mean?
Top-hung means the casements are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, allowing ventilation while limiting the opening angle. This makes them ideal for high-mounted or clerestory positions.
Is glass included?
No. The BG4 is supplied without glass. Glazing is carried out by your installer or glazier after installation.
What is the burglar guard and how is it fitted?
Each opening section has a square mild steel vertical bar fixed directly into the Meranti frame. The bars are permanently fixed and remain in place when the windows are opened.
Does the burglar guard cover the fixed centre pane?
No. The burglar bars are fitted to the two opening casements only. The fixed centre pane is secured by the fixed frame and does not have a burglar bar.
Where is the BG4 typically installed?
The BG4's narrow 305mm height and wide 1632mm span make it ideal for high-mounted or clerestory positions — commonly used in bathrooms, stairwells, garages, and above door openings where wide ventilation is needed at height.
What type of hinges are fitted?
Easy-clean yellow passivated mild steel hinges are fitted as standard — corrosion-resistant and low maintenance.
What handles are included?
Solid brass handles are included as standard.
Can this window be painted or stained?
Yes. Meranti timber accepts both paint and stain finishes. We recommend a quality exterior-grade finish for longevity.
Where is this window manufactured?
The BG4 is manufactured in South Africa.
What is the lead time?
Lead time is 12–14 days from order confirmation.
