Fixed Windows
Pure glass, pure view
A fixed window has no hardware, no sash and no moving parts, which means more glass, thinner framing and the tightest seal of anything we make. Where ventilation is already handled elsewhere in a room, fixed glazing is the most efficient way to bring in daylight and frame a view. Fixed panes are most often specified alongside operable sashes — a large fixed centre with awning or casement sashes either side is one of the most effective window compositions in a Melbourne home.
Profile accreditation
