H1200 x W1200 Aluminium Awning & Fixed Window | Custom Configurations

The H1200 x W1200 aluminium awning and fixed window is a square-profile architectural unit that combines a stationary glass panel with an outward-opening awning sash. Measuring 1200mm by 1200mm, it provides an ideal balance of clear outdoor views and controlled ventilation. The awning sash pushes out from the bottom using a chain winder, which allows you to leave the window open during rain showers without letting water inside. This configuration is highly popular for Australian bedrooms and home offices because it splits the square frame into two functional halves, giving you strong structural integrity alongside excellent airflow.

Why Choose the 1200mm Square Format

Finding the right window proportions is critical for both the exterior look of your home and the interior feel of the room. A 1200mm square window fits naturally into most standard room layouts. It is large enough to flood a room with natural light, yet compact enough to leave plenty of usable wall space below for beds, desks, or cabinetry.

Pairing a fixed pane with an operable awning sash is a very smart design choice for this size. If you tried to make a single 1200mm wide awning sash, the glass would be incredibly heavy and place too much strain on the winding mechanism. By dividing the unit, you get a dedicated fixed panel that acts as a picture window for clear sightlines. The other half becomes the operable awning section. This split design reduces wear on the moving parts, guarantees smooth operation, and maintains excellent structural rigidity against high winds.

Awning windows are particularly suited to the Australian climate. Because the glass acts as a canopy when opened, it creates a protective barrier over the opening. You capture cool cross-breezes while shedding rain directly onto the exterior sill.

Ideal Rooms and Applications

The 1200mm square frame is highly adaptable. Builders and renovators specify this exact product for a variety of residential and commercial applications.

Bedrooms and Guest Rooms This window size is a staple for modern bedrooms. It provides excellent natural light while allowing for easy furniture placement underneath. The awning sash gives you secure, lockable ventilation overnight. You can sleep comfortably with fresh air circulating, knowing the key-lockable winder and heavy frame keep your room secure.

Home Offices and Studies A bright workspace is essential for focus. Installing this window above a desk gives you a clear view outside to reduce eye strain. If your street is noisy, you can upgrade to double glazing to block out traffic sounds and keep your study quiet and productive.

Side Boundaries and Walkways If you have a narrow block where the house sits close to the fence line, an awning window is incredibly practical. Because the sash pushes outward, you do not have sliding tracks that collect dust and debris from the side path. If privacy is an issue on the boundary line, you can configure the glass to Satinlite Obscure to completely block the neighbours' view.

Configuration Guidance

Your location and room orientation should dictate how you configure this window. We build each unit to order so you get the exact performance you need.

Selecting Your Glass Type Standard Clear glass works perfectly for southern elevations or shaded areas under a patio. However, if this window faces east or west, it will take the full force of the morning or afternoon sun. In these locations, we strongly advise selecting Low-E glass or a Grey Tint. Low-E glass has a microscopic coating that reflects thermal heat right back where it came from. It stops your bedroom from turning into an oven in summer and retains your interior heating during winter. For the highest level of energy efficiency, Double Glazing is the ultimate choice. The sealed pocket of air between two glass panes acts as a massive thermal barrier, which dramatically lowers your heating and cooling costs.

Choosing the Right Finish Our aluminium frames feature a tough, powder-coated finish that resists fading and corrosion. Pearl White is excellent for traditional homes and coastal designs because it reflects heat and looks crisp. Custom Black is the definitive choice for contemporary, industrial, or architectural builds. If you are renovating an older home and need to match an existing colour scheme, our Custom Colour option ensures your new window blends in perfectly.

Adding Internal Screens Awning windows open outward, meaning any protective screen must be mounted on the inside of the room. Our frames are specially designed to hold these internal screens securely. The winder mechanism sits neatly below or passes through a dedicated cutout in the screen frame. A standard Flyscreen keeps insects away during summer nights. If security is a priority, upgrade to our Stainless Steel Security Screen. This heavy-duty mesh prevents forced entry and resists knife attacks, all while preserving your view of the outside world.

Built to Meet Australian Standards

The weather in Australia takes a massive toll on building materials. Inferior windows will leak, rattle, and degrade under the harsh sun and driving rain. We manufacture our aluminium windows strictly to AS 2047 building standards.

This compliance means your new window has passed rigorous testing for structural deflection, operating force, and water penetration. We build these units in Smeaton Grange NSW, using robust marine-grade principles to ensure maximum corrosion resistance. New Age Construction Group proudly delivers our custom aluminium windows right across Australia. Whether you are building in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or a regional centre, you can trust our products to handle your local climate.

Framing and Installation Advice

Proper preparation is essential for a watertight finish. The window is supplied fully assembled and ready for installation. Ensure your timber or steel framing is square and plumb before attempting to fit the unit. You must leave appropriate clearance around the frame to accommodate packing and expansion. We always recommend using a licensed builder or experienced carpenter to handle the installation. A professional will ensure the perimeter is sealed correctly and the flashing is installed to the exact requirements of the National Construction Code.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an awning window differ from a sliding window? An awning window is hinged at the top and pushes outward from the bottom using a winder, creating a glass canopy. A sliding window features panels that slide horizontally along a bottom track. Awning windows generally offer better rain protection when open and provide a tighter weather seal when closed because the entire sash compresses against the frame seals.

Can I leave the window open in the rain? Yes. The outward-angled glass of the awning sash acts as a protective shield. Unless there are strong winds blowing the rain horizontally, you can safely leave the sash partially open to ventilate your home during a shower.

What is the lead time for this custom window? We build every window to your exact specifications. Our standard manufacturing lead time is generally 3 to 5 weeks from the date of your order. Our team will communicate with you throughout the build process and arrange a specific delivery date once the unit is complete.

Do I need a security screen to stop intruders? While the standard key-lockable chain winder provides excellent base-level security by fixing the sash in place, the glass itself can still be broken. Adding a Stainless Steel Security Screen provides a massive physical barrier that prevents intruders from gaining access even if they manage to break the external glass pane.
