Sliding windows also know as sliders are an ideal system for large, horizontal openings. Sliders allow ventilation from both ends of the unit and feature top hung rollers for smooth operation. They are available in two, three or four sashes configurations. The configuration of the sashes are limitless provide maximum ventilation as well as unobstructed view.
Two-sashes sliders can have one fixed and one operating or two operating sashes. Three-sash configuration can have one, two or three operating sashes and similarly for the four-sashes system.
APLLICATIONS
Sliding windows are suitable for both domestic & commercial applications. Sliders are usually considered when the operating sash can not project beyond the perimeter wall, so they don’t interfere with stairs, walkways or furnishings outside.
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
Sliding windows locking mechanisms are typical single unit flush bolt that activate up to two locking points.
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.
