Casement and awning windows – versatile timber windows for light and ventilation
Casement windows are hinged at the side, while awning windows are generally hinged at the top. Both styles can be manufactured individually or combined with fixed panes and other opening sashes. Casement and awning windows are enduring favourites because their simple design works beautifully across so many styles of architecture. Custom made in timber, they can bring authentic character to a traditional home or clean, understated lines to a contemporary architectural project.

A classic window style for modern living
Cedarlite can manufacture both traditional and contemporary profiles, including windows designed to match the character of an existing building.
Configurations can include:
- Single or paired casement windows
- Single or multiple awning sashes
- Fixed lights positioned above, below or beside opening windows
- Bay and feature-window arrangements
- Traditional glazing bars or clean contemporary designs
- Restrictors, security stays and lockable hardware
- Thermawood double glazing and high-performance glass
The way a window opens can make a real difference to airflow. Side-hinged casement windows open wide and can help catch passing breezes, while top-hinged awning windows are a practical choice when you want fresh air with some protection from light rain. Both can be incorporated alongside fixed glazing to create larger window configurations that balance views, light and ventilation.
Talk to Cedarlite about your plans - we can work with you, your architect or builder to create custom timber casement or awning windows.
Fixed windows for light and uninterrupted views
Fixed timber windows are ideal where you want to bring in natural light or make the most of a view without needing the window to open. They can be made in a wide range of sizes and combined with opening windows above, below or alongside the fixed pane to provide ventilation where needed.
