Premium Aluminium Awning & Fixed Window | H600 x W1200

The H600 x W1200 premium aluminium awning and fixed window is a low-profile architectural unit built for secure ventilation and targeted natural light. Measuring 600mm high by 1200mm wide, it pairs a solid fixed glass pane with a chain-operated awning sash that opens outward from the bottom. This specific split design acts as a protective weather shield. You can safely leave the sash open during a passing rainstorm to keep fresh air moving through your home without water damaging your interior floors or plasterboard.

The Engineering Behind the 600x1200 Split Frame

Finding the right window dimensions is critical when planning a new build or a renovation. The 600mm height makes this window an incredibly versatile choice for tight vertical spaces. It delivers a wide, horizontal line of sight while leaving plenty of usable wall space below for cabinetry, furniture, or bathroom fixtures.

Splitting the 1200mm total width into two distinct sections is a highly deliberate engineering decision. If you attempt to manufacture a single 1200mm wide awning sash, the glass becomes very heavy. Over time, that excess weight places massive strain on the top hinges and the bottom winding mechanism. By dividing the frame in half, we completely eliminate that structural stress. One side becomes a dedicated fixed picture window that provides clear views and maximum light transmission. The other half becomes a lighter, perfectly balanced awning sash. This configuration ensures the chain winder operates smoothly without binding, and the window maintains its structural integrity for decades.

Awning windows are exceptionally practical for the Australian climate. Because the operable glass pane hinges at the top and pushes outward, it essentially creates a small roof over the opening. You capture cool evening cross-breezes while shedding rain directly onto your exterior brickwork or cladding.

Key Features and Build Specifications

We manufacture our aluminium windows to deliver serious reliability in tough conditions. Every component is selected to ensure your home remains comfortable, secure, and weatherproof.

• Overall Dimensions: 600mm exact outer frame height by 1200mm exact outer frame width.

• Structural Frame: Heavy-duty extruded aluminium profile designed to resist warping and twisting under high wind loads.

• Operating Mechanism: Premium chain winder featuring an integrated key cylinder for secure locking at any open position.

• Weather Sealing: High-grade rubber perimeter seals compress tightly when the window is fully wound in to block drafts, dust, and moisture.

• Glass Options: Configure your unit with Clear, Grey Tint, Low-E, Satinlite Obscure, or highly efficient Double Glazed glass.

• Colour Selection: Available in our standard Pearl White, architectural Custom Black, or specify a Custom Colour to match your project.

• Screen Compatibility: The purpose-built internal track accommodates Flyscreens, Diamond Grille, and Stainless Steel Security Screens.

Ideal Placements for Your Home

Builders and renovators frequently specify this 600mm by 1200mm rectangular frame for several highly practical locations. It is large enough to drastically improve a room without requiring major structural changes to your walls.

Kitchen Splashbacks Installing this window horizontally between your kitchen benchtop and your overhead cupboards completely transforms the space. It floods your prep area with natural morning light and gives you a clear view outside while you cook. Because the awning sash pushes outward, you can quickly ventilate hot steam and strong cooking smells directly outside without turning on a noisy exhaust fan.

Bathrooms and Ensuites Wet areas require constant airflow to prevent condensation and mould buildup. Placing a 600mm high window close to the ceiling allows rising hot steam to escape rapidly. When you pair this high-wall placement with our Satinlite Obscure glass, you guarantee absolute privacy from the street or neighbours while keeping the bathroom bright and airy.

Bedrooms and Home Offices A popular modern design choice is to place this wide, short window directly above a bed headboard or a study desk. It creates a beautiful architectural feature. It also allows you to leave the awning sash cracked open at night for a cool breeze. Because the chain winder is lockable, you maintain excellent overnight security while you sleep.

Customising Your Glazing and Finish

Every site has different thermal requirements and aesthetic goals. We build your windows to order so you can configure the exact performance you need.

Your glass selection dictates how comfortable your room will be during extreme weather. Standard Clear glass is perfect for heavily shaded areas or southern elevations where direct sunlight is minimal. However, if this window faces the harsh western sun, standard glass will trap the heat inside. We highly recommend upgrading to Low-E glass or a Grey Tint for exposed walls. Low-E glass features a transparent, microscopic coating that actively reflects radiant heat back outside. It stops your rooms from overheating in summer and helps retain your internal heating during winter.

For the ultimate in thermal performance and acoustic dampening, select our Double Glazed units. Double glazing traps an insulating pocket of argon gas between two panes of glass. This massive thermal barrier significantly lowers your heating and cooling costs while blocking out noisy street traffic.

We finish all our aluminium frames in a highly durable powder coating that resists fading and coastal corrosion. Pearl White remains a classic, heat-reflective choice for traditional homes. Custom Black provides a striking, high-contrast border that suits contemporary and industrial architecture perfectly. If you are matching existing window frames, our Custom Colour option ensures a flawless aesthetic match.

Security and Internal Screening

Because the awning sash pushes outward to the exterior, all protective screens must be mounted on the inside of the room. Our window profiles are specially extruded to hold these internal screens securely. The chain winder sits below the screen track or passes through a neatly engineered slot. This design means you can open and close the window without ever needing to remove the insect mesh.

If you just want to stop mosquitoes, a standard Flyscreen works perfectly. For serious peace of mind, upgrade to our Stainless Steel Security Screen. This heavy-duty mesh offers maximum forced-entry resistance and easily deflects impact, allowing you to leave your windows open securely while you are away from home.

Built to Meet Australian Standards

The Australian environment destroys cheap building materials. We build our products to survive extreme heat, driving rain, and strong winds without degrading. Every aluminium window we manufacture complies strictly with AS 2047 building standards. This means your window design has passed rigorous laboratory testing for structural deflection, operating force, and water penetration under high wind pressures.

New Age Construction Group operates directly out of Smeaton Grange NSW. We proudly deliver our custom building materials right across Australia. Whether your site is located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or a regional centre, we transport your custom windows safely to your door. You are investing in premium products engineered by locals who understand the exact demands of the local climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install an awning window sideways? No. Awning windows are engineered with top hinges and a bottom chain winder specifically to handle vertical gravity and push outward from the base. Installing them sideways will cause the hardware to fail and void the weather seals. If you need a vertically oriented window, please browse our Louvre or Casement window collections.

How do I clean the exterior glass? Because the operable sash pushes outward, cleaning the exterior glass requires you to go outside. For ground floor installations, you can simply wash the window from your yard. For elevated or second-story applications, you will need a ladder or an extendable cleaning pole to reach the exterior panes safely.

What is the lead time for this custom size? We build every window entirely to order based on your specific colour, glass, and screen configuration. Our standard manufacturing lead time is 3 to 5 weeks from the date of purchase. Our production team will keep you updated on the manufacturing progress and schedule a firm delivery date once your items are ready for transport.
