Product Details
The WY-118L series aluminum casement window is built with a 1.8mm aluminum profile and a 118mm frame width, using PVDF surface treatment and a production process that includes profile cutting, glass cutting with aluminum strip installation, opening panel installation, frame and casing assembly, adjustment and sealing, and packing. The window operates with outward opening or awning action, supported by a 13-inch flat open friction hinge independently developed by DERCHI, and uses WEHAG handles, hinges, and a six-point locking mechanism with an invention patent. The standard glass configuration is double tempered glass with argon gas (5mm+27A+5mm) with a PVDF aluminum strip between the panes, and DERCHI can supply the complete window system including profile, hardware, accessories, glass, and finished products ready for installation.
Procurement teams should confirm the glass configuration from the seven available options (single, tempered, double-glazed, triple, insulating, laminated, and frosted), select one of the ten customizable layout configurations for the WY-118L series, and choose from two PVDF color finishes (Retro Green, Mint Gold) or ten stock color options before placing an order. The factory covers 70,000+ m² with 600+ employees, the delivery time is 25-35 days after deposit and drawing confirmation, the products meet NFRC, AS2047, and CE certifications, and a 10-year quality warranty covers frame color retention and proper hardware operation. Engineering and supervising service is available to guide installation, and buyers should submit confirmed drawings to finalize the configuration and receive an accurate quote.
