Casement Windows
The whole opening, open
A casement window is hinged at the side and swings outward, so the full opening becomes usable ventilation — nothing catches the breeze better. Casements also give the cleanest sightline of any operable window: no meeting rail across the middle, no track at the sill. When closed, the sash compresses against a continuous gasket and locks at multiple points up the frame, which is why casements consistently perform well for both weather-tightness and security.
Profile accreditation
Northstar uses uPVC profile systems accredited under the uPVC Windows Alliance Industry Code of Practice.
The accreditation relates to profile performance and suitability for Australian conditions.
We can also supply selected uPVC window and door systems rated to Passive House standard.
