Top Hung Windows are usually used in confined spaces such as kitchen, staircase and bathrooms to bring in natural light and facilitate ventilation.
These windows act like an awning which protects your property from rain during bad weather. At the same time, you can enjoy cool air coming through.
The air tight lock system ensures that there is no water leakage while providing security, durability, thermal and sound insulation.
We ensure our top hung windows are made from quality aluminium frame, durable handle and hinges that are both smooth and silent when using.
Sound Proof / Double Glazed Windows
With double glazing, two panels of glass are used rather than only one to create an insulated glass unit, or IGU. The two panels are separated by a small space, between 6mm to 18mm, which can be filled with an insulating gas such as argon.
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
The two panels and hollow space help to dramatically reduce unwanted solar gain indoors while protecting your furnishing from UV rays, especially in sunny Singapore.
With double glazing, you can keep yourself cool indoors without having to blast your air-conditioning as much. This means reducing your electricity bills over the long run. The extra insulation improves acoustics and reduces noise, making double glazed windows attractive to the modern-day homeowner.
Double glazing also increases the safety and security of the home. Two glass panels are more difficult to break through. Also, when upgrading your windows, you can choose a security glass that is much harder to penetrate.
