  RESIDENTIAL ALUMINIUM WINDOWS
  Features : Index

Experience:

Lidco has been a leader in aluminium framing systems, both residential and commercial, for over 65 years. Lidco's focus on continuous product development and innovation places the company at the forefront of the industry. Being a 100% Australian owned company, Lidco understands the many environmental factors, such as rain, wind, temperature and noise that must be taken into account in addressing the critical interface between the inside and the outside of buildings.

Our highly experienced design team are always available and prepared to assist with any project you may have, whether it be a single story dwelling or a multi-storey commercial high rise building. All our systems are designed to meet or exceed the Australian Standards and building codes making them the perfect choice for your next project.

Window Types:

Sliding windows perform well in various conditions and some design alternatives such as high performance sills (the sill is the bottom member of the frame) can be used in the fabrication to meet the requirements of high wind and water penetration such as in coastal areas. Sliding windows are easy to maintain, have a long life and require infrequent updating of rollers.

Double hung windows can be located alongside doors in a full height design to complement a doorway and allow ventilation. As each sash can be operated independently, the flow of air can be controlled - hot air out the top and a cool breeze allowed in the bottom. They are a great idea in children’s rooms where you may wish to avoid a cold breeze at night but still allow ventilation.

Awning windows seal very well against the elements and because of limited opening, are very secure. Awning windows are ideal for high rise and elevated residential applications as the sash opening is limited. (Sliding windows and double hung windows can only be used in high rise applications if the opening is limited).

Casement windows are similar in design to awning windows except they are hinged on the side and open like a door. The opening is limited with stays or a winder. They are screened from the inside. Casement and awnings windows can be manufactured with traditional sections replicating timber joinery and providing a charming feature of the homes of yesteryear.
