Frequently Asked Questions

What is an awning window?

An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom, creating an awning-like effect. This design allows ventilation even during light rain, making it a practical and popular choice for South African homes where weather protection and airflow are both important.

What does "two top openers and fixed centre pane" mean?

This window has three panes: the left and right panes are top-hinged and open outward for ventilation, while the centre pane is fixed and does not open. This configuration provides ventilation on both sides while maintaining a clean, symmetrical look.

What are the overall frame dimensions?

The frame opening is 1800mm wide x 618mm high x 70mm deep. Always verify your wall opening dimensions before ordering to ensure a correct fit.

What type of hinges does this window use?

This window is fitted with easy-clean yellow passivated friction hinges (mild steel), also commonly referred to as passivated friction stays. The yellow passivation treatment provides corrosion resistance, and the friction mechanism holds the casement open at any position without requiring a separate stay arm.

What hardware is included?

The window is supplied complete with easy-clean yellow passivated friction hinges and solid brass handles. No additional hardware purchase is required for the opening casements.

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.

Is this window suitable for exterior use?

Yes. This is an exterior-rated timber awning window suitable for standard South African residential wall openings. Timber windows should be properly sealed, painted, and maintained to ensure longevity in exterior applications, particularly in coastal or high-humidity environments.

What timber sections are used in this window?

The timber sections are: Head 56mm x 44mm, Cill 44mm x 44mm, Stiles 44mm x 44mm, and Opening Casement Section 34mm x 44mm. These are standard mid-level timber window profiles.

What is the lead time for delivery?

The current lead time is 12–14 days from order confirmation. Nationwide delivery across South Africa is available.
