Casement windows: aluminum systems | Nautilus Philippines

The deepest family in the range. Thirteen systems, from a 65 mm slim frame to a 122 mm section built for high floors and strong wind.

A casement is the working window: it swings on hinges, seals by compression, and closes against the frame like a door. That compression is why a well-made casement is the tightest-sealing opening window there is. The harder the wind pushes, the harder the sash presses onto its gasket.

The range splits on three decisions. Thermal break or not: only NC-01 goes without one. Where the water drains: concealed from NC-04 up. And how much the hardware carries, from 50 to 70 kg a sash.

Choose this when

Bedrooms and living spaces where sealing against rain and noise matters most
Openings that face weather, where the compression seal works with the wind and not against it
Where you want the window to disappear: slim GE-series frames run down to 65 mm

03

Inside the frame

The same system, cut open. This is what sits behind the plaster once the trim goes on, and it is where a window succeeds or fails.

The chambered sectionThose hollows are structure and drainage path, not filler. They are what keeps a frame square under wind load and keeps water moving.

Aluminum profiles in section showing the polyamide thermal-break strips between the inner and outer chambers — **The thermal break**The blue strips are polyamide, threaded through the profile to hold the inner and outer halves apart so heat and condensation cannot bridge the metal.

The drainage pathRain that gets past the outer seal collects in the sill chamber and leaves through a channel cut along the base of the profile, instead of running down the face of the window.

A window frame edge in section showing the glazing rebate, the desiccant-filled spacer and the gasket — **The glass build-up**Two panes, a sealed cavity and a desiccant-filled spacer, seated in the glazing rebate on its gasket. The cavity does the insulating work, not the glass.

Performance

The supplier rates these by building height and opening size rather than a single number: the entry system for buildings within three floors and low wind pressure; the mid range for buildings within six floors with openings of 3–5 m²; the heavy end for high buildings needing strong wind resistance, with French windows within 10 m².

What a specific opening achieves depends on its size, exposure and installation. That is why we assess the opening before we specify the system.
