AWNING & CASEMENT WINDOWS
Altherm awing and casement windows have been the popular choice of both designers and home owners for over two decades. Their strength, performance and superior good looks have always appealed to the discerning.

In-Built Strength
All Altherm sashes are made from strong box section profiles.
That means that they don't twist and flex when you open or close them.

Clean Appearance
Altherm's use of pressure-fit glazing means that there are usually no black glazing wedges visible from the exterior when windows
are single glazed.

Adjustable Ventilation

The Altherm SashVent is a conveniently operated trickle ventilator that can be incorporated in the bottom of awning or casement sashes. It allows adjustable ventilation with windows securely closed - great for airing stuffy rooms and those vulnerable to condensation and dampness.

Uncluttered Profiles

There is no clutter of grooves or 'die lines' on the window profiles, especially on transoms or mullions. This departure from traditional practice results in a clean, timeless look that won't date your joinery.

Condensation Removed
Condensation is collected and drained to the outside through Altherm's unobtrusive condensation channel at sill level.

Decorative Patterns
Colonial or federation glazing bars can be added to awning and casement windows (and fixed lights) to give an extra touch of elegance.

Typical Configurations (see configuration page) (top of page)




HORIZONTAL SLIDING WINDOWS
Altherm sliders come into their own when you need a window that doesn't project on to walkways and patios. They're ideal for passing food from kitchen to outside diners.

Strong Panels
Single or double opening panels are available, and the panel stiles are robust box section profiles for windkitcstrength and durability.

Double Sliders
A special double slider window is possible where two panels on parallel tracks stack behind each other and allow the user the choice of which to open.

Weatherproof
For secure weather protection there are double layers of weatherpile on all sides of the sliding panels.

BI-FOLD WINDOWS
For dramatic wide opening, Altherm bi-fold windows are the way to go.

Expansive Views
They open up the full expanse of outside views and range from two to six panels wide. With the six-panel option unobstructured opening of four metres is possible.

Weather Tight
There's no worry about weatherproofin
g - Altherm bi-folds have panel-to-panel bulb seals on the sides to keep out the elements.

Double Glazing
The Altherm bi-fold system is designed to comfortably carry heavy panels, so double glazing is no problem.

Coloured Hardware
Hinges, D-pulls and locks can be coloured to match the windows.

Strength
Altherm Bi-fold windows don't skimp on strength – they have a strong, box section design.
