The Select Choice

The Carinya Select Double Hung Window is a distinctive combination of design and durability not previously available in the residential category.

Besides a modern designer look, the Carinya Select double hung window is packed with a multitude of performance features, many of which are simply not available in competing products:

• With a generous 92mm frame width this double hung is perfect for large openings up to 2.2 metres tall and 1 metre wide.
• The 92mm frame width allows for integrated screening within the width of the frame for a clean designer finish.
• Cleaning is a breeze. If required, both top and bottom sashes (or panels) can be removed thanks to special take out clips and a unique heavy duty sash balance system.
• The Carinya's attention to detail includes bump stops to prevent frame damage, end caps to conceal sharp corners, as well as internal and external weather flaps that hide drainage slots and minimise insect intrusion.
• Full perimeter weather piles reduce air infiltration and improve acoustic performance.

Hardware

The Carinya Select Double Hung Window has been designed with matching stylish hardware, with the option for a lockable or non-lockable handle.

All Carinya double hung window sashes feature corner blocks in all four corners of the sashes. These blocks make the sash more rigid, reducing twists and movements. This reduction in movement increases the performance of the window by reducing opportunities for air, water and dust infiltration.

The balance system for the Carinya Select double hung window is designed and manufactured in the USA for large and heavy windows. The balance features a unique "block and tackles" design that caters for heavy weights and will provide smooth operation of even larger windows. As the balances are engineered for specific sizes and weights of windows, they require no adjusting during or after installation so as to provide long service for many years to come.

The innovative design of these balances means that they travel up and down within the sash and so are not visible at any time.

This design also means that both top and bottom sashes can be easily removed to allow easy cleaning of the window from inside the house.

Specially designed finseals are fitted all around both sashes. These seals act as insulation to prevent drafts, dust and other contaminants from coming in from outside through the edges of windows. The pile is manufactured from multi-filament fibres that move independently, guaranteeing an airtight seal.

• A choice of world-leading suppliers of powder finishes;
• Finishing is provided by supplier accredited Alspec branches, as well as selected quality contractors.
• Warranties are available. Depending on your finish option, you will receive a warranty ranging from 7 years (film and colour integrity) to 15 years (film and colour integrity).

Energy Efficiency

Now you can install green, green glass at home - with designer style!

The Carinya Collection of aluminium framed windows and doors has been specifically designed to be environmentally friendly, reflecting Carinya's commercial market heritage, where thermal and acoustic performance are often critical.

Of all building materials including glass, timber and masonry only one material is 100% recyclable - Aluminium.

Windows and doors are vital to the energy efficiency of any home. Research by the Sustainable Windows Alliance of Australia shows the typical Australian home can achieve an increase of 2 to 2.5 stars in energy efficiency simply by upgrading the windows.

Unlike many aluminium windows, Carinya has been designed for all major forms of eco-friendly glazing options without any alteration to the frame or any unsightly add-ons.

Carinya frames are designed for eco-friendly Low E glass, high thermal and high acoustic performance 10.5mm glazing. To maximise the energy efficiency of your glazing discuss your project with a specialist Carinya Dealer and/or your architect or designer.

Remember the three most important issues for achieving maximum energy efficiency in a home are:

• Orientation - always try and have living areas facing north with seasonal shading.
• Insulation.
• Window quality and performance.

WERS Energy Ratings

The Housing Industry Association of Australia (HIA) strongly suggests you ensure the energy rating on your windows is WERS rated to be confident of its true performance. Carinya gives you that confidence as the entire Carinya Collection has been WERS rated for performance.

WERS stands for the Window Energy Rating Scheme which is managed by the Australian Window Association. WERS enables windows to be rated and labelled for their annual energy impact on a whole house, in any climate of Australia. WERS acts as a fair, rigorous and credible system for testing energy performance claims. It is about certified performance.

The energy rating for windows is here to stay as part of the federal government’s commitment to improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The flexible glazing options available in The Carinya Collection mean that our windows and doors compare favourably in WERS performance and the resale value and comfort of your home are improved by the use of the high-performance Carinya windows and doors.
