Awning windows pivot vertically and open to the outside of the building to provide ventilation. Maximum height 950mm – Maximum width 1000mmm. They can be integrated with Fixedlight windows and glass door systems.
APLLICATIONS
Awning windows are suitable for most situations where ventilation is required. Particularly suited to ceiling level ventilation using chain winder operation and to multiple-sash design where sashes are located one above the other.
GLAZING
Frames can be designed to provide internal or external glazing installation. Glass type & thickness determined by Australian Standard AS1288. Maximum glass thickness is 10.38mm. Glass can be retained by face putty, screw on or clip on bead methods.
HARDWARE
Two standard designs of Awning window are available:
Stainless steel friction arms hinges combined with our standard keyed lever handle provides easy operation & excellent ventilation. In smaller sash will open to a horizontal position allowing air to flow above & below the sash.
Butt hinges, either screw on or weld on, combined with a chain winder. This arrangement allows keyed locking at various open positions allowing security ventilation. Internal fly screens can be fitted & remote operation is available where windows are located out of reach.
FINISHES
Steel window frames are hot dip galvanized as standard and do not require painting for corrosion protection. However, their appearance is greatly enhanced by special polyurethane paint colours applied on site by appropriate contractors after installation is completed.
INSTALLATION
Steel windows are suitable for fixing into all standard construction details. The perimeter section can be varied to suite all masonry and concrete wall construction details. More specialised construction including steel sub-frames can also be accommodated. Mechanical fixing via fixing lugs and dynabolts is most common. Where building construction is suitable dynabolt fixing through the perimeter frame is an option.
