Where Jalousie Windows Work Best
Our Small and Medium sizes are ideal for bathrooms, toilet-and-bath areas, kitchens, and utility spaces, where ventilation matters more than large glazing. For bigger openings — main living areas and larger kitchens — the Large and Extra Large sizes deliver the same full-airflow performance at scale.
Because jalousie windows are not fully watertight, we recommend installing them under a roof overhang or in areas that are naturally sheltered from direct rain exposure.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are Express Windows easy to install? Do they come fully assembled?
Yes! All Express Windows arrive completely pre-assembled with frames, glass, handles, and hardware ready for immediate installation into your masonry opening. They are designed to be DIY-friendly for anyone comfortable with basic hand and power tools, and every order includes a helpful instruction manual.
What is the rough opening requirement for the concrete wall?
We require that rough window openings be exactly 10 mm larger than the listed dimensions of your chosen windows. For the best results, please ensure the openings are fully finished before installation to prevent any damage or staining to the windows.
Are your windows typhoon-proof and waterproof?
Yes, all of our sliding and awning windows are completely watertight and built to withstand heavy tropical rains. Our awning windows go a step further, providing both airtight and watertight seals. Please note that while our jalousie windows are highly functional, they are best installed under a roof overhang to prevent water intrusion during heavy storms.
Do they provide good sound insulation against street noise?
While our weather-stripping provides a good seal, our Express line is not specifically engineered for high sound dampening.
What materials are used for the frames and glass?
Our frames are made from solid 1 mm thick aluminum with a durable powder-coated finish (available in elegant black or classic white). As a standard, all Express Windows are securely fitted with 6 mm thick clear ordinary glass.
Will the frames rust in high-humidity or coastal areas?
No! Because our windows are constructed from aluminum with plastic and stainless-steel accessories, there are no parts susceptible to rust. The powder-coated frames provide an excellent added layer of protection against corrosion.
Do the windows come with insect screens?
We offer an optional, built-in screen mesh as a convenient add-on for all windows in our Express line. For our Sliding windows, every frame includes a dedicated track so a sliding insect screen can be easily added at any time.
How fast can I get my windows?
We keep all standard sizes in ready stock! Once your payment is confirmed, your order will be processed, packed, and ready for pick-up in just 2 to 3 days.
Do you offer delivery, or is it pick-up only?
At this time, we do not offer in-house delivery services. All Express Window products are available for convenient pick-up directly from our warehouse located in Baesa, Quezon City. Customers must arrange and shoulder the cost of their own delivery logistics.

Can a security screen be attached to these prefabricated jalousie frames?
Yes! Our Express Jalousie Windows can be fitted with an optional built-in hard mesh security screen, available as an add-on now or fitted later, without interfering with the window's lever mechanism.
Which sizes are recommended for bathrooms/toilet & bath vs kitchens or living spaces?
Our Small (S) and Medium (M) sizes are perfect for bathrooms/toilet & bath, kitchens, and utility spaces. For larger areas like main living spaces and primary kitchens, we recommend our Large (L) and Extra Large (XL) options.
Are the individual glass panels easy to replace if broken, and can they be cleaned from inside?
Yes! If a panel happens to break, the individual glass blades are very easy to replace using the same glass type and dimensions.
Does this system offer 100% full airflow opening compared to sliding or awning windows?
Yes! It is engineered to have 100% full airflow when fully opened. You can also easily adjust the lever to control the exact amount of breeze you want.
How tight is the seal when fully closed against wind whistle and outside noise?
Our Express Windows line is designed primarily for ventilation and is not engineered specifically for sound dampening. For concerns about outside noise, we offer our more premium line of custom doors and windows.
Is the frame mechanism rust-proof and corrosion-resistant?
Yes! Because our windows are constructed from aluminum with plastic and stainless-steel accessories, there are no parts susceptible to rust. Furthermore, the powder-coated frames provide an excellent added layer of protection against corrosion and minor scratches, making them ideal for high-humidity areas.
