Double & Triple Glazed Timber Windows

Timber windows can be manufactured from a variety of suitable timbers. During the manufacturing process thin wood scantlings of opposing grain orientation are glued together (so called, multi-layer bonding) to achieve a strong, rigid and torsion-free framing system.

We offer many species for our German timber windows, which can be seen below.

All our timber is sustainably sourced and certified. Upon special request, SCS supply Accoya wood, which is created via acetylated wood modification creating a sustainable, non-toxic and wrap-free product.

Our German imported timber windows are completely finished in the factory prior to shipping. Their state-of-the-art manufacturing plants implement machine painting to ensure an even and consistent finish to all items. The timber windows are treated with 2 under coats and 2 top coats to ensure the finish is high quality and the paint/stain absorbed into the timber.

Our range of timber finishes can be accessed via the Downloads tab.

The type of glazing selected for a window can influence the daylight transmission, thermal properties, sound insulation, safety, privacy, and security of the whole window unit. It is essential that the glazing type is specified carefully for each project to ensure the end product provides a healthy, comfortable, temperature stable and quiet environment.

To achieve this balance, modern glazing technology has advanced to provide a wide variety of glass types and coatings. Double and triple glazed windows can use these glass types in combination in order to achieve the desired outcome. Double glazing combines two layers of glass with an insulated spacer in order to increase the thermal insulation of a window. Triple glazing combines three layers of glass with two insulated spacers in order to achieve greater thermal insulation.

SCS supplies double and triple glazed windows in a wide variety of shapes and configurations. The shape of the window and the opening type can influence the thermal and acoustic insulation, security, safety and structural strength of the window.

The most common type of window used throughout Europe and supplied by SCS. In one position, the window tilts inwards at the top for permanent ventilation. The second position swings inwards (similar to a door) for flush ventilation and cleaning. This window type uses a multi-point locking system to apply high compression on the double seals to reduce air penetration. These windows can also be made with a double opening (French style) to increase the clear opening and ventilation.

Advantages

• Extremely high thermal and acoustic performance
• Minimal air leakage/drafts
• Increased security
• Secure in tilt function (steel bar) for constant ventilation
• Easy to clean, especially for upper storey windows

Disadvantages

• Must be installed and adjusted by an experienced installer
• Interior blind solutions must be carefully designed to integrate well with this solution

The installation of high-quality and well-finished handles will greatly influence the final design and appearance of the window. Selecting a complementary handle type and colour will impact the overall style of the room. SCS supplies a range of high-quality window handles for our European windows in a variety of styles. Our handles are available in both key-lockable and non-key-lockable to suit all design, safety, and security requirements.

Flyscreens are an important component of all residential and commercial properties. They are mainly used as a barrier against insects, but with changing technology they can fulfill many other purposes besides preventing the intrusion of insects. Different material types and configurations can be used for insect prevention (standard flywire), bush fire protection (metal mesh) and security (steel mesh and diamond grill screens).

For all our window projects, SCS can supply the matching flyscreen or supply you with a suitable flyscreen contractor, to ensure the appropriate screens are supplied for your project.

Windows supplied by SCS can come with special features and profile additions in order to suit the required style.

Glazing bars and colonial bars are an important decorative window feature in many architectural designs. SCS supplies a range of products with glazing bars, colonial bars and glazing separators to suit your needs, whether you are creating a Hampton style home, preserving the character of a Federation style home, matching heritage overlay or enhancing an architectural element.
