Product Details
The 18 casement window is a thermal break aluminum casement window featuring 6063-T5 aluminum frame available in 109mm, 118mm, or 127mm frame-depth options. PA66/DERCHI insulation strips reduce thermal bridging, while 5+27A+5mm double tempered insulated glass with argon fill and PVDF aluminum spacer targets low heat transfer. The 457mm width fits multiple DERCHI casement window systems, but height determines the final series selection.
As an outward opening casement window, it saves interior floor space, suiting kitchens, bathrooms, and compact rooms where inward swing is impractical. WEHAG hardware with multi-point locking differentiates this custom aluminum casement window from ordinary units, providing even sash compression and security. Extensive glass, color, and screen customization supports diverse project requirements. Final performance values depend on series selection and glass configuration.

FAQ
How do I get an accurate quote for the 18 casement window?
Provide width, height, opening side, glass type, color, quantity, and project location. Height is critical for series matching and pricing. An indicative tier of US$85-109/m2 exists, but a formal quotation is required.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Reference MOQ starts from 2m2 for color and size customization. Confirm current MOQ and pricing with the sales team for your specific project requirements and order volume.
Can I customize the glass configuration?
Yes, upgrades include Low-E, laminated, triple, tinted, reflective, frosted, and bullet-proof glass. Each option affects thermal, acoustic, and security performance differently, so confirm your selection before quoting.
How is the window height determined if only width is specified?
Height must be confirmed from your rough opening or window schedule. It controls final series selection from the 109/118/127mm frame-depth family and directly impacts pricing and performance.
What certifications are available?
DERCHI cites NFRC, CE, AS2047, CSA, and ISO9001 on official pages. Verify applicability to your specific series and project requirements before relying on them for code compliance.
What is the lead time and how is the product packaged?
Indicative lead time is 25-35 days. Export packaging includes wooden frames, protective films, pallets, and air bags for sea freight. Confirm delivery time per order quantity and destination.
Are the performance values certified or target specs?
Values such as U-Factor 0.23, wind 5KPa, water 700Pa, and sound 35dB are target specs. Actual certified values depend on final series, glass configuration, and applicable testing standard.
