PS118 Aluminium Compression Sliding Window Product Guide
The PS118 aluminium compression sliding window combines a large fixed glass pane with one horizontally sliding sash. This fixed and sliding window layout suits balcony glazing, panoramic living-room windows and residential renovation projects that prioritise daylight and views with a defined ventilation area. Slim aluminium window profiles and optional insect screens and guards support a clean, configurable design.
PS118 aluminium sliding window Large fixed glass and one operable sash
Large Fixed Glass with a Single Sliding Window Sash
A continuous view through the fixed pane
The large fixed glass window area reduces operable divisions and preserves a broad view. For balcony sliding windows, apartment glazing and panoramic aluminium windows, this arrangement balances a generous fixed daylight area with one sliding sash for ventilation. The fixed pane stays in place.
A defined sliding ventilation area
Only the operable sash moves horizontally along the track. Its area limits the available opening; the large fixed pane cannot slide away. This single-sash aluminium sliding window is intended for a different opening pattern from a multi-panel patio door. Confirm sash width, sliding direction, overlap and clear ventilation opening before ordering.

118 mm and 125 mm refer to frame construction depths. The original catalogue labels the 125 mm module as the PS125 advanced option. The 70 mm sightline and 5 mm gap apply to the illustrated standard design and are not universal dimensions for every custom combination.
118 mm basic and 125 mm advanced window profiles
The 118 mm aluminium window frame module emphasises core function and cost efficiency. The 125 mm advanced module addresses broader performance and larger window design needs. Choose the module using the opening size, glazing and project requirements. The standard flush frame-and-sash outline supports a simple architectural appearance.

Open C-groove and locking details
Developed from the ES118 platform, PS118 uses an open C-groove intended to accommodate a range of sliding window hardware described in the catalogue. The interlock locking design includes profile reinforcement and protective limiting strips to help protect the lock mechanism and support sealing. Specify the actual hardware model in the order.
Drainage design with a slim window appearance
The aluminium compression sliding window combines 45° frame assembly with an enlarged collection channel and a stepped drainage section. Keep drainage outlets open and coordinate sill waterproofing and external discharge during installation. These design features do not establish an unprovided tested water-tightness class.
Insect Screens and Window Guard Options
The PS118 modular aluminium window system offers inward-opening insect screens, folding insect screens, glass guards and aluminium guards. The glazing sash in the featured fixed-and-sliding configuration remains a sliding sash; a hinged or folding screen does not change the glass sash into a casement window.
The illustrated glass guard sits in an outer-frame groove with a ventilation gap below the glass. Screen and guard modules can be combined according to the selected design. Guard height, fixings, safety glazing and local project requirements must be confirmed. Screens and guards are optional accessories, not an automatic inclusion or universal safety rating.

Assess the PS118 panoramic aluminium sliding window when a large fixed view pane and one operable ventilation sash meet the brief. Assess the PS128 multi-panel aluminium lift and slide door when wide circulation openings and larger indoor-outdoor access are priorities. High-rise projects and areas used by children require separate assessment of guards and safety glazing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the large fixed pane open?
No. In this layout only the sliding sash opens; the fixed glass provides daylight and views.
Do 118 and 125 describe glass thickness?
No. They describe frame depths. The 125 mm section is labelled as the advanced module in the original catalogue.
Are insect screens and guards included?
Not automatically. Select the screen and guard type and include each accessory in the quotation and approved order.
Custom Aluminium Sliding Window Ordering Guide
1 Provide opening details
Measure width and height and provide indoor and outdoor installation photos. State floor level, orientation, balcony or living-room use and direct rain exposure.
2 Define fixed and sliding sections
Use an indoor-view drawing to identify the large fixed pane, sliding sash width, left or right movement and required ventilation opening. The full window width is not the opening width.
3 Choose frames and glazing
Specify the 118 mm basic frame or the 125 mm advanced module, glass build-up, finish and colour. Confirm applicable glazing and test evidence for acoustic, thermal and wind requirements.
4 Specify screens guards and hardware
Choose inward-opening or folding insect screens, glass or aluminium guards, handles, locks, limits and other fittings. State which modules should be included in the quotation.
5 Approve production and installation details
Check divisions, fixed sections, opening direction, finished dimensions, sill waterproofing, drainage outlets, packaging, delivery schedule and installation responsibilities before production.
Use and Maintenance
Keep sliding window tracks, collection channels and drainage outlets clear. Do not block drainage routes with sealant or renovation materials. Check locks and limits and operate the aluminium sliding sash according to its specified hardware instructions. Inspect optional guards and insect screens as recommended for those accessories.
