Awning & Casement Windows
Aluminium Windows Specialists
Aluminium awning and casement windows are a popular option for both residential and commercial settings. Both simple and practical, yet ever stylish and on-trend.
Awning Windows – hinged at the top, awning windows push out from the bottom, usually with a manual or electric chain winder. Awning windows provide both ventilation and protection from the rain.
Casement Windows – hinged on the side and opening like a door, casement windows are easy to manage, look great, and provide a great deal of ventilation.
Tip: set to face and capture the summer breeze.

Energy Efficiency
The right windows and doors make a huge difference to your building’s comfort and energy effciency.
High-performing windows and doors can make heating or cooling your home simpler and more cost effective, saving money on expensive electricity and gas. Although they are much larger framing systems, Elevate™ window and door systems are WERS-rated and tested to make choosing the right product as simple as possible to deliver comfort and performance in any environment.
Correct Placement & Installation
To get the highest energy efficiency from your windows and doors, it’s important that they are installed by a qualified professional, and located in the best position to take advantage of natural cross ventilation, light and solar heat gain in both summer and winter.
U-Values
U-values are the measure of how much heat is transferred through a window or door. The lower the U-value the more efficient it is at keeping the heat or cold out.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
SHGC measures how much solar radiation passes through a window or door. In a cool climate, a high SHCG will allow more solar heat to enter your home.
WERS Rated
WERS is the Window Energy Rating Scheme for windows and doors in Australia. It uses a 10-star system to rate the annual energy impact on a home, based on its U-value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The more stars, the better.
Discover the key benefits of our aluminium window and door systems:
- WERS rated for energy efficiency: Our products are rigorously tested and rated by the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS), ensuring they meet the highest energy performance standards in Australia.
- Reduced energy costs and emissions: Up to 40% of a home’s energy for heating and cooling is lost or gained through windows. Our systems improve thermal performance, lowering energy bills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- 10-star rating scale: Our products are rated on a 10-star scale against 17 window types, with higher stars indicating better performance. Our ThermalHEART™ aluminium windows and doors fall within the top-performing range.
- Enhanced comfort: Our high-performance systems improve energy efficiency and overall comfort in your building.
- Continuous innovation: We are dedicated to developing energy-efficient window and door solutions that excel in weather sealing and energy efficiency in the Australian market.
- Passive design principles: Properly selecting and placing our windows and doors can maximise passive design principles, optimizing thermal efficiency for your home.
Choose our aluminium window and door systems for energy-efficient, high-performance solutions in Australia.
