You can have a manually operated window combined with a detachable extended handle. This goes for louvre or awning. Electric is likely to add $600+ per window.

Timber would do the job. Or just buy a length of aluminium flat profile from Alspec

It's delaminating, probably was not painte/sealed on the underside. These doors are low cost, just get another.

I honestly cannot see this in your pic. Unlikely a settlement issue.

Hmmm... so little interest!!!
The point of what I am saying is that you may have a house that from the outset is non-compliant, and that could be costly in future…

This is an easy one... all windows are type tested to meet AS2047... this covers water resistance and wind resistance. Your windows will have been tested this way, and…

These are all too short in overall length. As a minimum, they should extend to the bricks at each end. Maybe they were stretched during cutting and assembly and they…

I recommend you don't touch it, you photograph each and write a letter... If you try to fix it they will say you have voided the warranty.

Yes, and aluminium outside and timber inside... these are known as composite windows. Very expensive, but if you want the look, then no option.

We used to supply uPVC only, but then we had problems associated with heat expansion of sashes and opening panels and the would catch and bind. So when we…

welcome

The only issue with your plan is that the weep holes at the bottom of the fixed window and in the sliding tracks need to be allowed to drain. You…

Hi Alex
We have a thermal break design. It rated no better than the non-broken design. I assume there is a breakeven in aluminium conductance and polyamide resistance, and our…
