Pushout Awning uPVC Windows Melbourne
Pushout awning windows are top-hinged and open outward from the bottom, identical in principle to a crank awning window, but with one key difference: there is no crank handle. The sash is opened by pushing it outward by hand and is held at any angle by friction-stay hardware concealed in the frame. The result is a clean, uncluttered appearance with no protruding hardware — ideal for heritage, Federation, Edwardian and Victorian homes in Melbourne where period-appropriate window aesthetics are important.

Heritage-Appropriate Operation
Melbourne's heritage overlay zones and heritage-listed properties often have guidelines or restrictions on window replacement that consider visual impact. Pushout awning windows in timber look uPVC finishes, with no visible crank hardware on the face of the frame, closely replicate the appearance of the original timber windows they replace. The friction-stay hardware is concealed within the frame and the clean face of the sash maintains the period character of the building while delivering modern double glazed performance.
Friction-Stay: Hold at Any Angle
Where a crank awning window opens to a fixed maximum angle controlled by the scissor arm, a pushout awning window can be held at any angle from slightly ajar to fully open. The friction-stay mechanism applies resistance to the sash at whatever position it is left, holding it open against moderate wind without additional hardware. This adjustability is useful in rooms where varying degrees of ventilation are required throughout the day.
