Aluminium window style options in Australia:

Awning windows are a common choice for many homeowners as this window style is a great choice offering great design and function. Awning windows have a hinge at the top, allowing them to be pushed out from the bottom. This provides convenience for homeowners as they have the flexibility and control over the ventilation provided.

Aluminium awning windows offer a solid and sturdy frame that can enhance any home design. They provide the appearance of being ‘fixed’, however, their design allows them to open diagonally from the hinge.

• Awning windows are great for homeowners that want to place their windows in a higher position. This provides natural light and ventilation without compromising privacy.
• They are also a great option if you are lacking wall space and need to place them in higher positions on the wall.

Sliding windows are one of the most classic window designs, featuring sashes that slide in either direction which lift out for easy cleaning. These windows offer versatility and timeless design making them the ultimate choice for many homeowners. They also have the benefit of creating large openings, allowing the maximum amount of fresh air and natural light to flow into the house.

• Aluminium sliding windows are great if you are after an unobstructed view of your outdoor areas.
• They are also easy to use and are extremely energy-efficient, keeping your home at a consistent temperature year-round.

Louvre windows are a modern and stylish approach to windows with a variety of benefits. These windows are made up of horizontal slats that are angled to let air and light in while keeping out harsh sunlight and rain. They are extremely easy to use allowing you to adjust the blades by simply using the lever or handle.

• A great choice if you want to maximise airflow for your home. The wider opening capacity allows for this style to open twice as standard windows

Fixed windows: Do you want your windows to remain shut all year round? Fixed windows are the perfect choice for you! These windows are not designed for ventilation, rather solely for natural light. Fixed windows are perfect if you have a unique design in mind.

• A great option for an aesthetically pleasing feature for your home

Bi-fold windows consist of several individual sashes that are hinged together. They can be opened up to make a large uninterrupted opening, where the panels stack neatly against each other.
