Double & Triple Glazed Timber Windows
Double & Triple Glazed Timber Windows
Double glazed timber windows and triple glazed timber windows offer a natural, stylish, and comfortable finish for homes or offices. The inherent qualities of wood make these windows exceptional, providing excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
While timber products do require long-term care and maintenance, a high-quality timber window can last a lifetime. Timber is also highly customisable, allowing clients to choose from various stains, paint colours, wood types, configurations, and styles, whether heritage or modern.
Our timber windows are part of our premium imported range of double and triple glazed windows. The wooden window profiles are also available in the matching door system, providing a complete solution for all projects.

Timber has been a popular choice for building materials for decades, particularly for windows. Timber windows and wooden windows bring a natural, stylish, and comfortable finish to any home or office. Thanks to the inherent thermal and acoustic properties of wood, these windows offer top-tier performance. While timber does require some long-term care and maintenance, a well-crafted timber window can last a lifetime.
At SCS, we provide timber windows of the highest quality, featuring the latest in design and technology. Our windows are stable and robust, enabling the manufacture of large dimensions in both width and height. Timber’s versatility allows for extensive customisation, including various shapes, configurations, and design elements such as special beading, glazing bars, and additional trims to complement architectural styles like Victorian, Edwardian/Federation, Art Deco, and Contemporary.
SCS’s Range Of Specialty Timber Window Products
Our European timber windows come in a range of finishes and profile types. The thickness of the timber window frame is crucial in determining its thermal and acoustic properties. A sufficiently thick frame provides structural strength, stability, and durability while accommodating thicker glazing units. SCS offers three frame thickness options for our double and triple glazed timber windows:
- Double Glazed Timber Windows: 68 mm, 80 mm and 90 mm Premium Wooden Profiles
- Triple Glazed Timber Windows: 80 mm and 90 mm Premium Wooden Window Profiles
Typically, 68 mm frames are used for double-glazed windows, while the thicker 80 mm and 90 mm frames are ideal for triple-glazed windows. Our 68 mm profile is particularly popular due to its cost-effectiveness and excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
Locally Produced Timber Double Glazed Windows
At SCS, we recognize the importance of shorter lead times and tighter project budgets. That’s why we collaborate with a network of local suppliers to provide and install double-glazed timber windows. We offer these windows in KD hardwood, including VIC Ash and Tasmanian Oak, ensuring quality and durability.

Timber Window Repair
In specialised cases, SCS offers timber window repair services. This includes re-glazing timber windows or replacing the sash of timber windows. If the wooden windows are in acceptable condition, parts of the window can be replaced, and in some instances, the existing glass can be upgraded to double glazing. Our potential repair services include:
- Replacing single-pane glass with new double glazing
- Removing and replacing rotten timber components with new timber parts
- Replacement of wooden sash with new wooden sash (double glazing)
These repairs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the condition of the windows at the site. A detailed site inspection will determine the feasibility of the repairs.

Double & Triple Glazed Windows – Timber Finishes
Timber windows can be manufactured from a variety of suitable timbers. During the manufacturing process thin wood scantlings of opposing grain orientation are glued together (so called, multi-layer bonding) to achieve a strong, rigid and torsion-free framing system.
We offer many species for our German timber windows, which can be seen below.
All our timber is sustainably sourced and certified. Upon special request, SCS supply Accoya wood, which is created via acetylated wood modification creating a sustainable, non-toxic and wrap-free product.
Our German imported timber windows are completely finished in the factory prior to shipping. Their state-of-the-art manufacturing plants implement machine painting to ensure an even and consistent finish to all items. The timber windows are treated with 2 under coats and 2 top coats to ensure the finish is high quality and the paint/stain absorbed into the timber.

Double & Triple Glazed Windows
Our Timber window products are available in:
- Triple glazed timber windows
- Double glazed timber windows
The type of glazing selected for a window can influence the daylight transmission, thermal properties, sound insulation, safety, privacy, and security of the whole window unit. It is essential that the glazing type is specified carefully for each project to ensure the end product provides a healthy, comfortable, temperature stable and quiet environment.
To achieve this balance, modern glazing technology has advanced to provide a wide variety of glass types and coatings. Double and triple glazed windows can use these glass types in combination in order to achieve the desired outcome. Double glazing combines two layers of glass with an insulated spacer in order to increase the thermal insulation of a window. Triple glazing combines three layers of glass with two insulated spacers in order to achieve greater thermal insulation.
Double & Triple Glazed Windows – Opening Types
SCS supplies double and triple glazed windows in a wide variety of shapes and configurations. The shape of the window and the opening type can influence the thermal and acoustic insulation, security, safety and structural strength of the window.
The most common type of window used throughout Europe and supplied by SCS. In one position, the window tilts inwards at the top for permanent ventilation. The second position swings inwards (similar to a door) for flush ventilation and cleaning. This window type uses a multi-point locking system to apply high compression on the double seals to reduce air penetration. These windows can also be made with a double opening (French style) to increase the clear opening and ventilation.
Advantages
- Extremely high thermal and acoustic performance
- Minimal air leakage/drafts
- Increased security
- Secure in tilt function (steel bar) for constant ventilation
- Easy to clean, especially for upper storey windows
Disadvantages
- Must be installed and adjusted by an experienced installer
- Interior blind solutions must be carefully designed to integrate well with this solution
Double & Triple Glazed Windows – Hardware
The installation of high-quality and well-finished handles will greatly influence the final design and appearance of the window. Selecting a complementary handle type and colour will impact the overall style of the room. SCS supplies a range of high-quality window handles for our European windows in a variety of styles. Our handles are available in both key-lockable and non-key-lockable to suit all design, safety, and security requirements.
Double & Triple Glazed Windows – Flyscreens & Security Screens
Flyscreens are an important component of all residential and commercial properties. They are mainly used as a barrier against insects, but with changing technology they can fulfill many other purposes besides preventing the intrusion of insects. Different material types and configurations can be used for insect prevention (standard flywire), bush fire protection (metal mesh) and security (steel mesh and diamond grill screens).
For all our window projects, SCS can supply the matching flyscreen or supply you with a suitable flyscreen contractor, to ensure the appropriate screens are supplied for your project.
Double & Triple Glazed Windows – Customised Designs & Special Features
Windows supplied by SCS can come with special features and profile additions in order to suit the required style.
Glazing bars and colonial bars are an important decorative window feature in many architectural designs. SCS supplies a range of products with glazing bars, colonial bars and glazing separators to suit your needs, whether you are creating a Hampton style home, preserving the character of a Federation style home, matching heritage overlay or enhancing an architectural element.
