Casement windows are side opening to catch the breeze and direct air inwards. Like awning windows they can be used in most positions but are not recommended where windows open on to pedestrian areas. French casements can be provided with no centre post to obscure the view when open.

Bi-Fold Windows

Bi-fold windows run on an easy-slide track system and allow wide opening. They’re ideal where homeowners or designers want to capitalise on views, capture summer breezes, or create a unity between indoors and outdoors. Because bi-folds project outwards exercise caution in using them beside decks or walkways.

Configurations with even numbered panels are generally used, eg. 2 panels, 2+2 panels, 4 panels and 6 panels.

Sliding Windows

Horizontal sliding windows are ideal where serveries to the outside are desired or where no projections on to busy areas are wanted. Standard options include windows with a single sliding panel or two sliding panels meeting in the middle. There is also the double slider where two panels slide past each other.

An aluminium vertical slider is available as well as the all-glass Shugg slider. The FIRST™ double hung window has two surrounding frame options - one with a scrolled Edwardian appearance and the other with a clean, flat face for a more contemporary look. The alternative Shugg vertical slider consists of two counter-balanced panes of glass which slide past each other with no aluminium rails to obstruct the view.

Roof Windows

First Windows™ roof windows and skylights provide an ideal solution when extra illumination and ventilation is needed. Opening and fixed roof window options are available and both feature Thermal Heart™ technology for superior insulation and thermal performance.The opening roof window allows high level ventilation and has options for electric or manual openers. Rain sensors can be used with the electric opener providing automatic closing if it rains.

Fixed overhead glazing is also available and can be built in a wide variety of designs, from small skylights to large glazed expanses. It’s ideal in porches and rooms that would otherwise be dimly lit.

Fixed overhead windows are available and can be built in a wide variety of designs, from small skylights to large glazed expanses.
