Double-glazed uPVC windows, made in Melbourne
Awning windows
Hinged at the top and opening outward, awning windows let air in while the sash shelters the opening. A strong all-rounder for wind, weather and acoustic performance.
Why choose awning windows
Fresh air without the weather
The sash opens out from the bottom, so the glass sits over the opening and keeps most rain out.
Tight seals all round
The sash closes onto rubber seals on every side, cutting draughts, heat loss and outside noise.
Works with fixed glass
Pair an awning sash with fixed panes beside or below it to get a big view with ventilation where you need it.
Bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms
A practical choice for most rooms, including above benchtops and in wet areas.

Common questions
Can an awning window stay open in the rain?
In light rain, usually yes. The sash hinges at the top and opens outward, so the glass sits over the opening and sheds water away from it. Close it in strong wind or driving rain.
Can I combine awning sashes with fixed glass?
Yes. Common layouts include an awning beside a fixed pane, an awning between two fixed panes, and awning sashes above fixed lights. You can choose these in our quote builder or show us on your plans.
How long does it take to get my awning windows?
Most jobs take 8 to 12 weeks from approved quote to installation. Timing depends on our production schedule, and on lamination if you choose a colour we don't keep in stock.
Do you install, or supply only?
Both. For new homes, builders typically order supply-only and install using our drawings and installation details. For replacements in existing homes, our certified installers can complete the job for you.
