Frequently Asked Questions
What does top hung mean and how does the window open?
A top-hung window is hinged at the top and opens outwards from the bottom. The two sashes swing outward, allowing ventilation while the sash position deflects rain. This is the most common opening type for aluminium windows in South Africa.
What is the difference between the structural opening and the actual window size?
The structural opening is the rough opening in the wall (1200mm × 1200mm), while the actual window size is slightly smaller (1190mm × 1190mm) to allow for a proper fit and adjustment during installation. The 10mm clearance on each side accommodates packers and ensures the window is plumb and level.
Does this window come with glass?
Yes. This aluminium window is supplied complete with 3mm glass, unlike timber windows which require glass to be sourced separately. The window arrives ready for installation with glass fitted.
What colours are available?
This window is available in Bronze, Natural, Charcoal, and White Finish. Select your preferred colour on this product page.
Is this window suitable for exterior use?
Yes. The aluminium construction, 430 stainless steel hinges, draft seals, and mechanically sealed corners make this window suitable for exterior installation in all South African climate conditions.
What does AAMSA certified mean?
AAMSA (Aluminium Association of South Africa) certification confirms that the window meets recognised South African standards for aluminium window manufacturing, including material quality, section sizing, and construction requirements.
