A 60 x 72 casement window requires careful layout planning due to its 1524mm width, which exceeds standard single-sash limits. DERCHI addresses this through its S9 Starlight System, a custom thermal-break aluminum window built for large-format modern facades.
- Custom multi-sash configuration (three-lite or four-lite recommended) for optimal ventilation and views
- S9 system features a 109mm frame, 1.8mm wall thickness, and 44mm extra-wide insulation strips
- Standard 5+27A+5 double tempered glass with fluorocarbon hollow aluminum spacers
- Opening types include outward, top-hung, and outward-opening top-hung combinations
Product Details
At 1524 x 1829mm (approximately 2.79 sqm), this opening is not recommended as a single sash. The S9 casement opening sash range maxes out at 750mm wide, so a custom 60 x 72 casement window requires splitting. A three-lite layout with a middle fixed pane (roughly 508mm per lite) paired with side opening sashes balances unobstructed views with cross-ventilation. Alternatively, a four-lite grid or a top/bottom fixed transom can zone the facade for commercial architecture.
The S9 profile relies on a 1.8mm multi-cavity aluminum construction with a 44/24/15mm insulation strip configuration. A micro-elastic glass block reduces corner stress on large panes, while the three-seal structure pairs with EPDM water-swelling strips for weather protection. Because 72in exceeds typical outward-opening heights, buyers can also cross-reference the E5N inward-opening system for interior-cleaning access or the R8Y safety system for coastal wind exposure.
Product Features
- Thermal Break Profile: The 44mm extra-wide insulation strip and multi-cavity aluminum profile work together to reduce U-value, supporting energy efficiency in large glazed openings.
- Stress Reduction Block: A micro-elastic glass block minimizes corner stress on heavy fixed panes, which is critical for maintaining structural integrity across a 2.79 sqm area.
- Triple Seal Weathering: Three-seal construction combined with EPDM water-swelling strips helps manage air and water infiltration during heavy wind-driven rain events.
- Flexible Ventilation: Outward opening, top-hung, and outward-opening top-hung configurations allow glass sashes to open externally while screen sashes remain inside.
- Safety Hardware Ecosystem: A custom child-safe handle, anti-pull transmission box, two-point lock, and anti-pry strike provide layered security for residential and commercial spaces.
- Facade Alignment: Frame and sash sit on the same horizontal line, delivering a clean, flush modern aesthetic suitable for contemporary architectural projects.
Customizable Styles
- Glass Options: Beyond standard 5+27A+5 double tempered units, buyers can select Low-E, argon gas, laminated, frosted, tinted, ultra-clear, or blind glass configurations.
- Frame and Color: S9 finishes include powder coating, fluorocarbon, wood grain, and metallic flash silver, with shades like Sand Gray, Starry Black, and Black Walnut.
- Size and Layout: Custom dimensions are supported; buyers should provide project drawings for split configurations like three-lite, four-lite, or asymmetric opening layouts.
- Opening Combinations: Choose from fixed+opening, side opening+middle fixed, top transom, bottom fixed, or multi-pane window wall setups based on ventilation needs.
- Screens and Blinds: Optional 48-mesh high-transparency screens, steel wire mesh, guardrails, and integrated blind glass are available to meet specific project requirements.
Hardware Accessories
- Operating Handles: S9 includes a DERCHI custom child-safe handle, with optional upgrades to fingerprint, password, or key-operated smart handles for access control.
- Friction Hinges: A 13-inch custom load-bearing friction hinge manages heavy sash weights while maintaining stable outward opening positioning.
- Locking Mechanism: The system uses a two-point lock, roller-sleeve lock point, and custom strike plate to secure the sash against the frame.
- Anti-Pry Hardware: An anti-pull oblique transmission box and anti-pry strike add structural resistance against forced entry attempts from the exterior.
- Safety Screens: Optional 48-mesh high-transparency screens, steel wire mesh, and guardrails provide fall protection and insect control for upper-floor installations.

- Office Building: Commercial 60 x 72 casement window installations can utilize top and bottom fixed transoms to zone glass facades while maintaining structural wind resistance.
- Outdoor: For exposed exterior installations, buyers must confirm water tightness, wind pressure ratings, and fluorocarbon surface finish durability against local weather conditions.
- Residential Building: Multi-unit developments can leverage the S6 or E0 series for batch project budget control while keeping the same thermal-break aluminum standard.
- Exterior: Coastal or high-rise exterior applications should verify wind pressure resistance and consider the R8Y safety series with its anti-fall rope and hidden drainage features.
- Villa: High-end modern villas utilize the S9 system's 44mm insulation strips and flush frame design to achieve continuous energy-efficient window walls without sacrificing aesthetics.

FAQ
Why is the 60 x 72 casement window not recommended as a single sash?
The 1524mm overall width exceeds the S9 maximum casement sash width of 750mm. Forcing a single sash would compromise structural integrity and hardware function, so a multi-lite split is required.
What layout do you recommend for this window size?
A three-lite layout with a middle fixed glass pane and side outward-opening sashes is recommended for balanced views and ventilation. Four-lite or top/bottom fixed transom layouts are also effective.
Which DERCHI series should I choose for my project?
Select S9 for high-end modern facades, E5N for inward-opening tilt-and-turn needs like interior cleaning, or R8Y for coastal safety applications requiring anti-theft screens and wind resistance.
What information do I need to prepare for an accurate quote?
As a 60 x 72 casement window supplier, we require project quantity, destination port, opening drawings, preferred series, glass configuration, color finish, and packaging preferences to calculate pricing.
Are grilles or divided-lite patterns available for this window?
Specific grille or divided-lite pattern availability is subject to confirmation. Buyers should verify these decorative options and their compatibility with the selected glass thickness during inquiry.
What certifications apply to this product?
DERCHI lists CE, NFRC, CSA, and US/AU IGCC glass certifications. Buyers should confirm which specific certifications apply to their selected product configuration and target market before ordering.
What warranty terms and technical documents can be supplied?
Warranty terms, installation documentation, technical drawings, and test reports are available upon request. Buyers should confirm specific document availability and compliance needs with the supplier.
