Awning & Casement
Windows

Fresh air. Full control.

Awning and casement windows are two of the most practical and versatile window types available — and two of the most popular for good reason. Both are hinged for easy operation: awning windows open from the top, casements from the side. Both give you precise control over ventilation, and both are built to perform in New Zealand conditions.

Casement Windows

Clean lines, simple mechanics, reliable performance.

Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward — like a door — giving you a full, unobstructed opening and excellent airflow. Their unfussy, vertical form works with almost any architectural style, from classic to contemporary.

Why casement

Open as much or as little as you need — the casement design gives you precise control over ventilation in a way most window types can't match.

The outward-opening sash gives you full access to both sides of the glass from inside the home.

A single turn of the handle is all it takes. Easy for anyone to use, and engineered to stay that way long term.

From a single bedroom window to a full commercial specification — casement works across almost every property type and build style.

Opening outward allows hot, humid air to escape directly — keeping interiors drier and reducing moisture on the glass.

Awning Windows

Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, directing air into the room regardless of wind direction. They're one of the best options for New Zealand's variable climate — you can leave them open in light rain without a second thought.

Awning Windows

Why awning

Hinged at the top and opening outward, awning windows direct air into the room regardless of where the wind is coming from.

A clean horizontal format that suits wide openings — letting in maximum light and airflow without interrupting the sightline.

The outward-opening sash acts as a natural shelter — keeping weather out while letting air in, even in light rain.

Simple, intuitive, and easy for anyone to use. One handle opens, closes, and locks the sash securely.

The awning design seals tight when it needs to and holds firm in conditions where other window types would need to stay shut.

Opening outward releases hot, humid air directly — keeping interiors drier and glass clearer year-round.
