Product Details
The DERCHI WY-118L aluminum casement window is built in a 70,000+ m² factory staffed by 600+ employees through a sequenced production process of surface treatment, profile processing and cutting, glass cutting and aluminum strip installation, opening panel installation, frame and casing assembly, troubleshooting and sealing, and packing. Construction uses a 1.8MM aluminum profile with 118MM frame width, an S18 multi-cavity insulation strip, and double tempered glass filled with argon gas (5mm+27A+5mm) separated by a PVDF aluminum strip, with operation via outward opening or awning action using a WEHAG handle in black, silver, or antique bronze, a DERCHI-developed 13-inch flat open friction hinge, and a WEHAGE-brand six-point lock point and lock seat system with an invention patent.
Procurement teams should confirm thermal performance against project requirements, as the double tempered argon-filled configuration achieves a U-factor of 0.23 and SHGC of 0.20, and request energy code compliance documentation for project submittals from the manufacturer's 70,000+ m² facility. Configuration choices span seven glass types (single, tempered, double-glazed, triple, insulating, laminated, frosted), ten layout configurations combining fixed panels, casement sashes, and awning openings, and color finishes including two PVDF options and ten stock colors, so buyers should confirm rough opening dimensions, glass thickness and tint preferences, and compatibility with existing entrance door and curtain wall systems before finalizing specifications.
Product Features
- WY-118L aluminum casement window with 1.8MM profile thickness and 118MM frame width — select this frame dimension for shop front openings that require a wide-profile aluminum structure.
- Outward opening / awning configuration — choose this opening direction when the interior retail floor area cannot accommodate inward-swinging sashes.
- WEHAG no-base handle available in black, silver, and antique bronze finishes — specify the finish that matches the storefront hardware color palette.
- Six-point lock with invention patent integrated with WEHAG lock point and seat system — select this locking mechanism for retail frontages requiring multi-point security.
- S18 multi-cavity insulation strip as the standard DERCHI thermal break — choose this configuration when the project targets specific U-factor and SHGC values.
- Water tightness 700Pa, air tightness 1.2 m³/(m·h), wind pressure resistance 5K Pa, and sound insulation 35 dB — match these ratings to the site's wind load, rainfall exposure, and acoustic requirements.
- Products meet NFRC, AS2047, and CE certifications — select this window when project specifications list these compliance standards.
