2 KEY EATURES / PERORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Scale: not to scale Tested for compliance with the relevant Australian Standards. Achieves a high water resistance of 300Pa. 102mm rame, mullion and transom have a soft 2mm internal radius. Both sashes can be hinged back into the room to allow cleaning of both sides of the glass from inside, without having to remove the flyscreen, ideal in elevated applications and where privacy screens are used. Sashes secured with the Vantage custom key or non-key locking cam handle. When windows are a powder coated finish the lower corners on the top sash are fitted with die cast horns as standard. Horns are not available in anodised finishes. Windows can be ordered with or without sash horns, clearly nominate when ordering. Powder coat finished windows can also be ordered without federation sash horns. MAGNUM double-hung windows can be fitted with external flyscreens within the frame line, no turn buckles required. Double-hung window internal view Maximum Panel Height* Maximum Panel Width* Maximum Glass Thickness 1050mm 1155mm 20mm * Subject to individual site conditions and wind loads.

4 SPECIIERS CHECKLIST Scale: not to scale Not all double-hung windows are the same. Most have sashes that go up and down - but if you want your windows to perform and match the architectural appearance you are looking for there are some things you should check/compare when choosing your supplier. EATURE Opposition Does the window comply with the relevant Australian Standards. All windows should comply but it pays to ask for written proof. Designed for exposed locations. has a 300Pa water resistance as standard. This makes the product suitable for exposed locations. Can I make large windows and still comply. We can make this double-hung up to 2100mm x 1510mm wide and still comply. Our sashes and matching fixed sidelight will accept glass from 4mm to 8.38mm single glaze or 20mm insulating glass units using custom stiles and rails to accept this thicker glass panel Wide frame with bold sashes. 102mm wide perimeter frame. 30mm thick sashes. Tilt sash standard. MAGNUM sashes can be tilted back into the room to allow cleaning of the external face of the glass from inside the building. This will be a major advantage in elevated situations where external access may be difficult to impossible. Custom locking options. We have designed a locking cam for this window that won t catch the curtains or blinds. Locks can be colour matched to the sash finish. Clean flyscreen installation. lyscreens nest into the perimeter frame and are secured with custom concealed nylon spring clips that reduce the chance of screens rattling or falling out. Window can be coupled to sliding doors or other windows without visible rivets. Rounded internal frame corners where ever possible. The main perimeter frame has 2mm soft internal corner radius. Lowlight mullions also have the same soft internal radius plus they are setback 2mm from the edge like timber windows to give a clean finish. Modern paint finishes don t like sharp corners. Paddington federation trim option available. We can clip Paddington federation trims straight to the main frame. These trims can be colour matched or coloured to contrast with the main frame. Compatible products. MAGNUM 613 double-hung window has been designed to match and couple with a large range of other MAGNUM products. Refer installation section for more information.

5 Design eatures Scale: Not to scale Get the solid appearance of timber with the benefits of aluminium: Strength. Weather performance. Sound reduction. High performance powder coat and anodised finishes. Security. lyscreening. The window has been tested for compliance with the relevant Australian Standards achieving a high water resistance of 300Pa. 102mm rame, mullion and transom have a soft 2mm internal radius. Both sashes can be hinged back into the room to allow cleaning of both sides of the glass from inside, without having to remove the flyscreen. Sashes can be secured with the Vantage custom key or non-key locking cam handle. When windows are a powder coated finish the lower corners on the top sash are fitted with die cast horns as standard. Horns are not available in anodised finishes. Windows can be ordered with or without sash horns, clearly nominate when ordering. MAGNUM double-hung windows can be fitted with external flyscreens within the frame line, no turn buckles required. The window is compatible (appearance) with the high performance MAGNUM horizontal sliding, awning and casement windows. A large range of snap couplers allow these windows to be joined at 90, 135 and 180 without unsightly rivets or screws. Refer installation section for more information. These couplers would also allow this window to couple to Bi-fold windows, Bi-fold doors, rench doors and Sliding doors. Matching fixed sidelights / highlights and lowlights. Sashes and sidelight will accept glass from 4mm to 8.38mm single glaze or 20mm insulating glass units. The perimeter frame will accept the optional 'Paddington' federation trims, as illustrated in these notes PAGE 203

6 WINDOW OPTIONS The double-hung system is inlaid into dedicated perimeter frame and mullions, refer cross sectional details. Scale: not to scale type 'D' Max. height = 2100 Max. width = 1210 type 'D' Max. width = 3010 type 'DD' type 'DD' type '' type '' typical multiple fixed window illustrated. Pure fixed windows can be fabricated out of the double-hung frame as a single or multiple units. We can also fabricate similar fixed windows from the awning frame, refer Series 616. ull height fixed lights (without transoms) that can be mistaken for door openings are to be glazed with safety glass, refer AS1288. If in doubt as to whether a window requires safety glass always err on the side of safety. Combination windows with transom are fabricated as separate units then joined with 'I' coupler Important Note: In elevated situations (above ground level) the position of the transom should be considered with safety in mind. In some areas there may be regulations covering the height of the transom above floor level. refer AS1288 for lowlight glass minimum requirements.

7 WINDOW COUPLING OPTIONS Scale: not to scale windows can be clipped to Series 541, 542 or 618 sliding doors using the box coupler or 'I' coupler 42030*. Likewise 90 corners using coupler and 135 bay corners with Refer installation section for more information. * Note: As the double-hung transom window (illustrated left) has been fabricated from two separate windows with 'I' coupler at the transom joint. This window requires the heavier box coupler (42027) vertically when clipped to the door. windows will also clip to Series 548 rench doors using the box coupler or 'I' coupler Likewise 90 corners using coupler and 135 bay corners with The 'I' coupler can only be used vertically if the double-hung windows have no transoms as shown left. The 'I' coupler can also be used to create a significantly stronger mullion by coupling two windows together as shown left. Note: This assembly can't have horizontal breaks in the windows (transoms) as this would result in broken mullion members Typical strength examples on type 'D' as shown and type 'DD': 2100 x 2410 = 2200Pa * 2100 x 2710 = 2200Pa * 2100 x 3010 = 1550Pa * Limited by water rating. Limited by meeting stile strength on the double-hung window. PAGE 205

Side rails sealed with 'Aquamac' on the inside and weatherpile on the outside. Nylon sash latches can be disengaged to allow sashes to be tilted back into the room. This allows both sides of the glass to be cleaned from inside. Jamb Top sash fitted with die cast horns as illustrated below (not available on anodised finishes). Heavy duty spring balances allow us to fit thick/heavy glass including double glazed units. Sash Horn Double glazed windows have dedicated sashes that will accept 20mm thick Insulating Glass Units Both top and bottom sashes fold in for easy cleaning When the sashes tilt back into the room the support shoes lock into the jamb guides.
