- Outward-opening casement configuration in the WY-118L Series
- Aluminium construction with wood-look finish for timber aesthetics
Product Details
The DERCHI WY-118L Series is an aluminum casement window with outward opening and awning operation, built with a 1.8mm profile thickness and 118mm frame width. The frame uses PVDF-finished aluminum with wood-grain texture, paired with an S18 multi-cavity insulation strip and double tempered glass (5mm+27A+5mm) filled with argon gas and separated by a PVDF aluminum strip. Hardware includes a WEHAG no-base handle available in black, silver, or antique bronze, a WEHAG hinge, and a black six-point lock with an invention patent. The production process runs through surface treatment, profile processing and cutting, glass cutting and aluminum strip installation, opening panel installation, frame and casing assembly, troubleshooting and sealing, and packing.
Buyers should confirm glass configuration from seven available options, select from ten customizable layout configurations combining fixed panels, casement sashes, and awning openings, and specify color finishes from two PVDF options (Retro Green, Mint Gold) plus ten stock colors spanning wood-grain to solid metallic and matte. Optional packaging includes the New 48 Pack or New 88 Pack, and DERCHI can supply the complete window system including profiles, hardware, accessories, glass, and finished products. Delivery runs 25-35 days after deposit and drawing confirmation, with a 10-year warranty covering frame unfading and hardware operation, and products meeting NFRC, AS2047, and CE standards with 100% full inspection before shipment.

FAQ
What must be confirmed technically before ordering?
Delivery time runs 25-35 days after deposit and drawing confirmation, so drawings, dimensions, color, and glass type must be finalized before production begins. Price is calculated based on these specific requirements.
What should buyers prepare for volume procurement?
Buyers can order a complete window system including profile, hardware, accessories, and glass, or request finished products. Submitting drawings, dimensions, color, and glass type allows accurate pricing for the full order.
Can glass, color, and layout configurations be customized?
Customization options cover glass type, color, and layout configurations.
What quality control is performed before shipment?
Every product undergoes 100% full inspection before shipment.
Is installation support available?
Engineering and supervising service for installation is available.
Can products be certified if required?
Products will be made tested and certified if the buyer requires.
How is the woodgrain finish applied to aluminium?
A sublimation oven bakes the finish at 200 degrees centigrade, and the sublimated finish protects against corrosion, UV rays, coastal salt, and city centre environments.
What happens if the woodgrain finish is damaged?
Touch-up pens are available for repairing aluminium woodgrain finishes.
Are lead times longer for woodgrain finishes than standard powder coating?
Lead times for woodgrain finishes are generally longer than standard powder-coated finishes, so buyers should account for this when scheduling volume orders.
