Window Styles explained
Tilt & turn
The versatile multi-function system operated with the turn of the handle: tilt inwards at the top for child proof ventilation; turn and fully open for easy cleaning. Extremely energy efficient, draft proof, high sound protection, features multi-point locking.
Picture / fixed
Fixed panes to enjoy a clear view without any obstructions—essentially acting as a picture frame for the scenery outside the window. Often used in combination with openable windows or doors.
Sliding
For special spaces where only a sliding window suits. Parallel-slide-tilt or lift-slide options available. Both very energy efficient and draft proof with high sound protection. Custom made to size and finish.
Bi-fold
If you would like to open up a large space. High energy efficiency, no rattling. Operated with a handle on every second window, no need for shoot bolts. Inside folding, also with tilt function, or outside folding.
Clerestory -tilt
Tilt inwards at the top for ventilation, horizontal or vertical. The handle controls all the mechanics and multi-point locking within the frame. Automation with concealed chain drive available for hard to reach areas.
Heritage
All the advantages of modern technology with the look of yesteryear. Suitable for inner city terraces where street appearances cannot change. High energy savings, high noise reduction. Create a quiet oasis where noise stays outside and drafts no longer exist.
Shaped
Custom made to size and shape to suit any building. Angled, round, oval or curved, these windows can be made in a fixed pane, sometimes openable, but always highly energy efficient.
