This style is widely used in South African homes, particularly in heritage, Cape Dutch, and classic residential architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"2 side openers with 3 fixed centre panes\" mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis window has five panes in total: the leftmost and rightmost panes are side-hinged casements that open for ventilation, while the three centre panes are fixed and do not open. This configuration provides ventilation on both sides of the window while maintaining a symmetrical, traditional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the overall frame dimensions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame opening is 2690mm wide x 1490mm high x 70mm deep. This is a wide-format window suited to large wall openings. Always verify your wall opening dimensions before ordering to ensure a correct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of hinges does this window use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hardware is included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe window is supplied complete with easy-clean yellow passivated friction hinges and solid brass handles.

Timber windows are supplied as frames only — glass must be sourced and fitted separately by your glazier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this window suitable for exterior use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is an exterior-rated timber 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat timber sections are used in this window?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe timber sections are: Head 56mm x 44mm, Cill 44mm x 44mm, Stiles 44mm x 44mm, and Opening Casement Section 34mm x 44mm.
