A 2 x 4 casement window (nominal 24 x 48 in / 610 x 1219 mm) from DERCHI's WY-72, WY-86, and WY-100 cranked-out window family. Built with a 6063-T5 aluminum profile and operated via hand crank, it is produced to your specified dimensions for residential and light commercial projects.
- Made-to-size production within a defined panel range
- Three frame depth options (72/86/100 mm) for varied glass packages
- Hand-crank operation suited for hard-to-reach installations
Product Details
The structure centers on a 6063-T5 aluminum profile with a 1.4 mm wall thickness, paired with EPDM rubber strip sealing. Double tempered glass comes standard, with WY-72 and WY-100 using 5+27A+5 mm spacing, while WY-86 uses 5+15A+5 mm. By offering three frame depths (72, 86, and 100 mm), the system lets buyers align glass spacing and structural depth with specific climate demands and project budgets.
The cranked-out casement sash operates via flat opening or top-hung hand-crank mechanics, solving ventilation and access challenges in tight floor plans. This is particularly useful above kitchen counters or stairwells where reach is limited. Made-to-size production within the 450-800 mm x 600-1500 mm opening panel range accommodates non-standard rough openings without forcing standard-size compromises.
Product Features
Aluminum Frame Stability: The 6063-T5 aluminum profile with 1.4 mm wall thickness provides a reliable structural foundation for residential and light commercial glazing projects.
Hand-Crank Operation: The crank mechanism allows controlled ventilation in hard-to-reach installations, such as above kitchen counters or behind furniture in compact rooms.
EPDM Sealing System: EPDM rubber strips along the frame and sash contribute to the window's air tightness and water resistance performance under normal weather conditions.
Tempered Glass Options: Double tempered glass with series-specific spacing supports sound insulation and solar control, with further upgrades available for energy performance.
Frame Depth Flexibility: Choosing between 72, 86, or 100 mm frame depths allows buyers to balance structural requirements, glass packages, and project budget constraints.
Made-to-Size Production: Manufacturing within the 450-800 mm x 600-1500 mm panel range supports project-specific opening dimensions without compromising on standard sizing.
Customizable Styles
Sash Layout: Single casement sash layout for standard openings, with left or right crank side selection based on project drawing requirements.
Composite Configurations: Fixed-plus-operable composite styles combining a fixed pane with an operable awning or casement for larger structural openings.
Frame Depth: Selection across 72 mm, 86 mm, or 100 mm frame depths to match the desired glass package and project-specific thermal targets.
Glass Packages: Options include double tempered, argon fill, warm-edge spacer, Low-E, laminated, or triple glazing upgrades, subject to series compatibility.
Color and Finish: Twelve standard color options plus PVDF fluorocarbon and wood grain finishes for project-specific architectural aesthetics.
Hardware Accessories
Hand Crank Operators: American hand crank for WY-72 series, or Australian hanging hand crank for WY-86 and WY-100 series, providing smooth sash control.
Lock Seats: Multi-point switch lock seat for WY-72, or single-point switch lock seat for WY-86 and WY-100, ensuring secure sash closure.
Limiters: Optional casement limiters available in simple or safety grades, offering controlled opening range for ventilation management and safety.
Top-Hung Hardware: Optional outward top-hung hardware set available for projects requiring top-hung operation instead of standard side casement action.
Sealing Hardware: EPDM rubber strip sealing system integrated along the frame and sash intersection to support air and water resistance performance.
