Awnings are a versatile window configuration and very popular in New Zealand. This configuration has a handle at the bottom of the opening area and when operating from inside, the awning opens outwards hinging at the top.
The handle operates two or more (depending on the width) sliding pins which securely latch into the frame when closed. This gives greater security as the locking points are inaccessible when closed. This also improves functionality and ease-of-use as only one handle is required, regardless of the width, while offering higher security than aluminium systems.
Tilt and turn windows are common in Europe, however they are a relatively new concept to New Zealand. This configuration has a handle on one side and includes two opening functions. The first ‘turn’ function is operated by turning the handle 90 degrees and this opens the window inside hinging on the frame opposite the handle. The second ‘tilt’ function is operated by turning the handle a further 90 degrees and this opens the window inside from the top hinging at the bottom frame.
Tilt & turn windows are a convenient opening method allowing easy cleaning and secure venting with multi-point locking pins around the entire perimeter of the opening.
Tilt only windows are similar to tilt & turn windows, however they only have the tilting function. The handle can be positioned on either side of the window or on the top of the opening window.
This opening type is a great way to get secure ventilation and can be used in areas where restrictor stays would usually be required for building code. The hardware is very strong and suitable for large units.
Casements are a common configuration in New Zealand. This configuration has a handle on one of the sides and the window opens outwards hinging on the opposite side to the handle.
The handle operates two or more (depending on the width) sliding pins which securely latch into the frame when closed. This gives greater security as the locking points are inaccessible when closed. This also improves functionality and ease-of-use as only one handle is required, regardless of the height, while offering higher security than aluminium systems.
Sliding windows operate by having one panel slide along a track behind another fixed pane.
We offer three different sliding systems: VarioSlide, SmartSlide and Lift & Slide. VarioSlide is the most cost effective sliding system and can achieve smaller sizes than the other two systems.
Stacking windows are similar to sliding windows, although they have two panels sliding behind one fixed pane. We offer stacking windows in our VarioSlide sliding system.

French windows have two hinged panels which open from the centre. When open, there is no vertical bar in between the two panels to create a large opening area.
