Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Economy Level timber window range?
The Economy Level range is an A-grade solid meranti timber window range designed for low-cost residential developments. It uses the same quality timber and craftsmanship as the mid-level range, but with slightly thinner timber sections and cranked steel hinges and peg stays instead of friction hinges and brass handles — making it the most widely used timber window range in South Africa.
What is a side-opening casement?
A side-opening casement is hinged on one vertical edge and swings outward to open. This is the most common window opening style in South African residential construction, providing good ventilation and easy operation.
What is the fixed pane?
The fixed pane is permanently glazed and does not open. On the WD2, one half of the window is a side-opening casement for ventilation while the other half is fixed, providing a larger overall glazed area.
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.
What direction does this window open?
This window opens outward. South African timber windows are supplied for outward opening only as standard.
What hardware is supplied?
The WD2 is supplied with yellow passivated cranked steel hinges and a yellow passivated steel peg and stay. No additional hardware is required for the opening casement.

The frame opening is 1060mm wide × 1195mm high × 55mm deep. Always verify your wall opening dimensions before ordering.
