What Is a Full Pane Window?
A full pane window features a single large glazed opening that spans the majority of the frame, with minimal timber divisions. This maximises natural light and provides unobstructed views, making full pane windows a popular choice for living rooms, dining areas, and contemporary home designs in South Africa. The opening casement swings outward on friction hinges, allowing controlled ventilation.
About Meranti Timber
Meranti is a dense, durable tropical hardwood widely used in South African window and door joinery. Kiln-dried Meranti offers excellent dimensional stability, good resistance to moisture when correctly sealed, and a fine, consistent grain that accepts paint and stain finishes well. It is a long-established standard in quality South African residential construction.
Hardware Details
This window is fitted with solid brass handles for a premium, corrosion-resistant finish, and easy-clean yellow passivated mild steel hinges for smooth, durable operation. Yellow passivation is a chromate conversion coating applied to mild steel to improve corrosion resistance, making it suitable for interior and sheltered exterior window applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is glass included?
No. Timber windows are supplied as frames only, without glass. Glazing must be sourced separately from a local glazier. The frame is rebated and ready to accept standard glass thicknesses.
What glass is recommended for a full pane window?
For a window of this width, we recommend consulting your glazier. Toughened or laminated safety glass is typically specified for large pane openings to comply with South African building regulations and SANS standards.
Can this window be painted?
Yes. Meranti timber takes paint and stain finishes well. Apply a quality wood primer before painting, and use an exterior-grade finish for any windows exposed to weather. Re-coat every 2–3 years depending on exposure.
Is this window suitable for exterior use?
Yes, with correct finishing and maintenance. Meranti timber windows are suitable for exterior applications when properly primed, painted or stained, and maintained. Ensure the cill is correctly weatherproofed and that appropriate flashing is installed.

This window is made to order and typically ships within 12–14 business days.
