Casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners due to their versatility and timeless design. One of the key components of these windows is the hinge, which allows the window to open and close smoothly. In this blog post, we will be exploring the different types of casement window hinges available at Bunnings, as well as offering tips on how to select the right hinge for your home. With a wide range of options available, it's essential to understand the differences between each type to make an informed decision.
Standard hinges are the most common type of casement window hinge and are typically made from steel or brass. These hinges are simple to install and are suitable for most casement window applications. Bunnings offers a variety of standard hinges in different sizes and finishes, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your windows.
Friction hinges are designed to control the opening and closing of the casement window, providing a smooth and controlled operation. These hinges are particularly useful for larger windows, as they can support more weight and prevent the window from slamming shut. Bunnings stocks a range of friction hinges in various lengths and finishes, making it easy to find the ideal solution for your home.
Egress hinges are a type of casement window hinge that allows the window to open fully, providing a means of escape in the event of an emergency. These hinges are often required by building codes for windows located in bedrooms or other areas where an emergency exit is necessary. Bunnings offers egress hinges in various sizes and finishes, ensuring you can meet safety requirements while maintaining the aesthetic of your windows.
Restrictor hinges are designed to limit the opening of a casement window, preventing it from opening too far and causing potential damage. These hinges are particularly useful in homes with young children or pets, as they can help prevent accidents caused by windows being opened too wide. Bunnings has a selection of restrictor hinges in different sizes and finishes, allowing you to find the perfect option for your needs.
When selecting a hinge for your casement window, it's essential to consider the following factors:
1. Window Size and Weight: The size and weight of your casement window will determine the type of hinge required. Larger, heavier windows may require friction or egress hinges to ensure smooth operation and safety. Be sure to check the weight capacity of the hinge before purchasing.
2. Material and Finish: The material and finish of the hinge should match the existing hardware on your casement window. Bunnings offers hinges in a variety of materials and finishes, making it easy to find a suitable option.
3. Functionality: Consider the functionality you require from your casement window hinge. If you need a hinge that offers controlled opening and closing, a friction hinge may be the best choice. If safety is a concern, an egress hinge may be required.
4. Ease of Installation: Some casement window hinges are easier to install than others. If you're planning on installing the hinge yourself, choose a hinge with straightforward installation instructions and minimal additional hardware requirements.
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your casement window hinges, it's essential to carry out regular maintenance. This includes:
1. Cleaning: Keep your hinges clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. This will prevent the build-up of dirt and grime, which can cause the hinge to become stiff and difficult to operate.
2. Lubrication: Lubricate your casement window hinges regularly with a silicone-based lubricant. This will help to reduce friction between the moving parts and ensure smooth operation.
3. Adjustment: Over time, your casement window hinges may require adjustment to maintain proper alignment and operation. Check the manufacturer's instructions for guidance on how to adjust your specific hinge type.
4. Replacement: If your casement window hinges become damaged or worn, it's essential to replace them promptly to ensure the safety and functionality of your windows.
Casement window hinges play a crucial role in the functionality and safety of your windows. Bunnings offers a wide range of hinge options to suit any casement window application, ensuring you can find the perfect solution for your home. By considering factors such as window size, weight, material, and functionality, you can select the right hinge for your needs. Regular maintenance will help to keep your hinges in top condition, ensuring your casement windows remain functional and secure for years to come.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.

Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.

For windows and doors, hardware is as important as the engine is to the car. The continuous technological innovation of the European hardware industry has strongly promoted the performance improvement and functional innovation of windows and doors.

Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.

A cost that may bring you unexpected savings that far exceed the price difference you may care about now.
With our own expertise, we provided the no-cost design development and contract documentation with CAD & BIM drawings, including elevation, details about the project, and installation help.
Before production, we will provide accurate sample drawings, which will clearly show the cross-sectional pattern, size, opening method and direction, pattern of the warm spacer, and the installation nodes.
