Key Features / Performance Characteristics

  • High performance architectural sliding window system designed for high rise apartments.

  • The extra strong sashes allow large sash windows to be fabricated for high wind load areas.

  • Double sash design with a fixed internal sash.

  • Both fixed and opening sashes can be installed, replaced and/or reglazed from inside the building. This could be an important feature in elevated situations.

  • There are a large variety of window combinations possible (SF, FS, SFS or FSSF) with and without highlights/lowlights.

  • Sliders can be fitted with surface or mortice deadlocks.

  • Sashes run on custom lowline heavy duty double bogey wheel carriages.

  • As the moving sash is on the outside, we achieve very high water resistance - 600Pa. This window also complies with the air conditioning requirements of the Australian Standard.

  • Unwanted head recess is fitted with snap-in flat closer to ensure that the clean looks are maintained and air infiltration is improved.
