Supply and Install Sliding Windows with Security Screens

Russcos Glazing Supplies and Installs Sliding Windows with Security Screens at Dundula State School in Bakers Creek, Queensland

When Dundula State School in Bakers Creek, Queensland, required new windows to improve functionality, security, and airflow, they turned to the expert team at Russcos Glazing. Known for delivering high-quality glazing solutions across the Mackay region, Russcos Glazing supplied and installed two custom-sized Altitude sliding windows with integrated Forcefield security screens to meet the school’s needs for safety, durability, and ease of use.

Project Overview

The project involved the supply and installation of two specific sliding window units, carefully designed and fitted to suit the school’s infrastructure while enhancing security for students and staff. The two windows installed were:

• 1 x 910mm x 2610mm XO Altitude Sliding Window with Subhead, Subsill, and Angles, fitted with 1 Face Fixed Forcefield Security Screen
  
• 1 x 1203mm x 3910mm XXO Altitude Sliding Window with Subhead, Subsill, and Angles, paired with a Double Sliding and Fixed Security Door System
  

Each window was tailored to the school’s size requirements and installed with precision to ensure both performance and safety.

Window Specifications and Benefits

XO Altitude Sliding Window (910mm x 2610mm)

This window featured a single sliding panel and a fixed panel (the “XO” configuration) and was supplied with a Forcefield face-fixed security screen. The Forcefield security screens are known for their strength and tamper-resistant qualities, providing maximum protection without compromising visibility or airflow. The screen is constructed from marine-grade stainless steel mesh and a corrosion-resistant frame, making it ideal for school environments where safety is paramount.

The subhead, subsill, and angles included in the installation allowed for proper water drainage and a seamless integration into the existing school structure, protecting the building from potential water ingress and ensuring long-term durability.

XXO Altitude Sliding Window (1203mm x 3910mm)

The second installation involved a much larger window, featuring double sliding panels and one fixed panel (XXO configuration). This window was installed alongside a double sliding and fixed security door system, providing a versatile access point with strong security features.

This system is particularly suited for high-traffic areas within the school where larger openings are beneficial for ventilation and access but still require a robust barrier to ensure student safety. Like the first window, the Forcefield security system used here offers a high level of protection against intruders, while its seamless, clean appearance complements the school’s architecture.

Safety, Ventilation, and Functionality

The main goal of the project was to upgrade the windows in a way that would enhance both security and ventilation. In Queensland’s warm climate, natural airflow is essential to maintaining comfortable indoor environments. The sliding windows chosen for this installation allow for easy opening and closing, giving the staff the flexibility to regulate ventilation throughout the day.

At the same time, the Forcefield security screens deliver peace of mind, ensuring that when windows and doors are open for airflow, the security of the premises is never compromised. These security screens meet Australian Standards for impact and security testing, making them an excellent choice for school settings.

Expert Installation by Russcos Glazing

The Russcos Glazing team carefully measured, supplied, and installed both window systems, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation. The project required precision to align the new windows within the school’s existing structures, with the subheads, subsills, and angles expertly integrated to manage drainage and structural load.

Russcos Glazing is known for working efficiently and with minimal disruption, an essential requirement when working on school grounds. The installation was completed on time and to the school’s exact specifications, allowing Dundula State School to quickly benefit from their upgraded windows.
