Supply and Install a Glass Window

Russcos Glazing Supplies and Installs Black Framed Double-Hung Window with Barrier Screen at North Eton Home

At Russcos Glazing, we specialise in delivering high-quality, tailored glazing solutions that meet the individual needs of Queensland homeowners. Whether it’s a small reglazing job or a complete window replacement, our team provides expert advice and exceptional craftsmanship on every project. Recently, we completed a window replacement at a charming home in North Eton, Queensland, where we removed an old timber sash window and installed a modern black framed double-hung window with clear glass and a black barrier screen.

Project Overview

The homeowners in North Eton contacted Russcos Glazing seeking a practical, low-maintenance solution to replace their ageing timber sash window. Over time, the original window had become difficult to open, prone to drafts, and was no longer providing the level of security or weather protection they required. Additionally, the timber frame had begun to deteriorate due to Queensland’s humid conditions.

After a thorough site inspection and consultation, the homeowners selected a black framed, clear glass double-hung window, paired with a black barrier screen for added security and insect protection. The replacement window measured 1210mm in width and 1060mm in height, providing a substantial opening for natural light and airflow.

Why Choose a Double-Hung Window?

The double-hung window design was the ideal choice for this home. Unlike a single-hung window, where only one sash moves, a double-hung window features two operable sashes that can slide vertically. This design provides superior ventilation control, allowing the homeowner to open either the top or bottom sash to manage airflow efficiently.

Double-hung windows are also easy to clean and perfect for Queensland homes, as they offer the flexibility to capture cooling breezes while maintaining safety and convenience.

For this North Eton project, the new double-hung window was constructed with a sleek black aluminium frame that provided a modern update to the home’s exterior. Black frames are extremely popular in contemporary home design, offering clean, bold lines that contrast beautifully with lighter-coloured walls and trims.

Clear Glass and Black Barrier Screen

The window was fitted with clear glass panels, chosen to maximise natural light and provide an unobstructed view of the home’s outdoor spaces. Clear glass is a practical, timeless option that helps make rooms feel brighter and more open.

To enhance security and provide insect protection, we also installed a black barrier screen over the window. Unlike standard flyscreens, barrier screens are designed to offer an additional layer of protection against forced entry while still allowing for excellent airflow. The black finish complemented the window frame perfectly, resulting in a seamless, cohesive look.

The combination of the clear glass and the barrier screen meant the homeowners could now enjoy a fully functional window that delivered security, ventilation, and visual appeal all in one.

Professional Window Removal and Installation by Russcos Glazing

The project began with the careful removal of the original timber sash window. Our skilled team took great care during this process to ensure the surrounding wall, frame, and finishes were preserved and prepared correctly for the new window installation.

Once the old window was removed, we thoroughly cleaned and prepared the opening to ensure a perfect fit for the new double-hung window. Accurate installation is crucial to guarantee smooth sash movement, proper sealing, and long-term durability.

The black aluminium frame was then secured in place, with precise alignment to ensure both sashes operated effortlessly. We sealed the window to provide complete protection from water and air leaks, which is especially important in Queensland’s varying climate conditions.

The barrier screen was expertly installed to fit snugly, providing both security and airflow without compromising the look of the window. Our team tested the operation of both sashes and the locking mechanisms to ensure everything functioned smoothly and safely before completing the job.

Homeowner Benefits

The new double-hung window provided the homeowners with numerous immediate advantages:

• Enhanced Ventilation: The ability to open both sashes offers excellent airflow control, perfect for catching North Eton’s refreshing breezes.
  
• Increased Security: The black barrier screen added a robust layer of protection while allowing air to flow freely.
  
• Improved Energy Efficiency: The new window sealed tightly, helping to minimise drafts and reduce energy costs.
  
• Modern Aesthetic: The black frame provided a striking contrast against the home’s exterior, enhancing its overall street appeal.
  
• Low Maintenance: Unlike the previous timber frame, the aluminium structure is resistant to weathering and requires minimal upkeep.
