Fabrication record
What aluminium casement windows can actually be built to
These are the limits the factory works to, taken from the fabrication data for the system we make this product in. This is the envelope, not a quotation: the achievable figures for your opening are confirmed against your drawings and a survey.

|---|---|
| Lights per frame | 1 to 4 |
| Leaf width | to 1370mm |
| Height | to 2400mm |
| Maximum leaf weight | 180kg, heavy-duty hinges |
| Glazing unit | 24 to 40mm |
| Glazing options | Double, Triple |
| U-value | Uw 1.4 W/m²K double-glazed (Ug 1.0), 1.2 triple-glazed (Ug 0.7), at the 1357.5 x 1480 mm test size. Confirmed at quote for your opening.Read from the U-value table for the system we make this product in |
| Security | PAS 24 routes where specified |
Configurations available
- Fixed light, side light, fan light, top hung, side hung, French casement, cruciform, coupled window, corner post, bay pole, window-over-fixed
Tested performance
Three separate mock-ups were tested and they do not agree, so all three are shown. A class belongs to the size it was achieved at.
| Tested size | Air permeability | Watertightness | Wind resistance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2100 x 2100mm | Class 3 (450 Pa) | Class 7A (300 Pa) | CE2400 (2400 Pa) |
| 1200 x 1500mm | Class 4 (600 Pa) | Class E1050 (1050 Pa) | CE2400 (2400 Pa) |
| 2000 x 1400mm | Class 3 (450 Pa) | Class E1200 (1200 Pa) | CE2400 (2400 Pa) |
Each row is a separate tested mock-up. A class is achieved at a size, so these are not a guarantee for every configuration. The classes that apply to your opening are confirmed at quote.
Any security rating above is the tested performance of the system, held by the system manufacturer. VitrineAlu fabricates to the tested configuration and the test evidence belongs to the system it was tested on. Evidence for the configuration you specify is sent at quote.

How we specify
The right product route is chosen per project
Exact specification (U-value, sizes, weights, security class, finish) is confirmed per project at quote, selected to suit the trade brief.
It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.
More on how routes are specified: security and PAS 24, and energy efficiency and U-values.
Common questions
How slim are the sightlines on aluminium casement windows?
Aluminium carries glass on slim frames, so casements hold tight sightlines and push more daylight across the elevation. Sashes run up to 1.37 m by 2.4 m at up to 180 kg on heavy-duty hinges, on the system we fabricate, in flush or standard sash, French casement, fixed lights and combinations. We confirm face widths against your openings at quote.
Do aluminium casement windows need trickle vents under Part F?
Usually yes. Part F expects background ventilation, so most replacement casements ship with trickle vents unless the installer confirms an alternative. Vents sit in the frame, so airflow is met without spoiling sightlines, and air permeability is tested to Class 4 where specified. Your installer signs off on site. Start a trade quote with your schedule.
What glazing make-up goes into aluminium casement windows?
Double, triple and acoustic units from 24 to 40 mm, project-specified, with toughened or laminated panes, warm-edge spacers and low-emissivity coatings. Glazing sets the outcome. From the system's U-value table: Uw 1.4 W/m²K double-glazed (Ug 1.0), 1.2 triple-glazed (Ug 0.7), at the 1357.5 x 1480 mm test size. Confirmed at quote for your opening. Acoustic performance for your glass is confirmed at quote; Rw 46 dB is available on the premium route, where specified. See energy efficiency for the thermal side.
What are the security routes for aluminium casement windows?
Aluminium casements take multi-point locking and PAS 24 routes where the project requires it, with laminated glazing for added resistance. Tested mock-ups on record reach watertightness Class E1200 and wind resistance CE2400, each at its tested size, so the closed unit performs. We support the test routes and the documentation trail. See security, then raise a quote.
Flush or standard sash on aluminium casement windows, which should I pick?
A flush sash sits level with the outer frame for a flat, contemporary face that suits modern and heritage-sensitive work. A standard sash steps proud for a traditional look. Both share the same hardware and glazing, including acoustic units within the 24 to 40 mm the system takes, so the choice is aesthetic. We quote either. Browse the casement range to compare, and confirm the glazing thickness for your opening at quote.
