Screening casement and awning windows have not always been available as an option for your next building or renovation project. Thankfully, nowadays, screens are discreet and fit perfectly into both design and practicality, and is a choice most Australians opt for.
Screening not only adds a protective layer to prevent insects and dust from entering but can also prevent potential break and enters.
With the option to add fly screens, these windows can be used or removed whenever needed, allowing for easy maintenance. For example, during the cooler months when the window won’t be open that often, the screens can be removed and kept in storage to be kept clean. During the warmer months, when windows are open more often, the screens can be popped back on and allow for ventilation throughout the home.
There is also the option to add retractable screens on all type of aluminium awning windows designs which could reduce the time it takes to install or remove the screens during change of seasons. These screens sit on top of the window frame, easily rolling down when needed and retracting when not in use.
What are awning windows?
Awning windows are a sleek and slim style window that fit perfectly into any style home. They open outwards and are retractable, allowing for fresh air and design to remain uncompromised.
In addition to this, awning windows are a safe option for when wanting to leave the window partly open but at the same time don’t want any unwanted visitors entering the house.
Awning windows are often referred to as cranking windows because they use a cranking system to open up. This cranking system works in alignment with The National Construction Code (NCC) for windows, which requires certain restrictions to reduce the number of accidents with children falling from windows.
