Carinya frames are designed to take screening directly, without adaptors or added material — so a screen sits flush and doesn't spoil the sightlines you paid for. We fit four types.

Insect screening

The everyday fly screen, in whatever mesh suits the opening. BetterVue® and UltraVue® are finer weaves that hold insects out while staying noticeably clearer to look through than standard mesh. Paw-proof mesh stands up to cats and dogs, and sandfly mesh is worth it close to the water.

SecureView® stainless steel security screens

T316 marine-grade stainless woven mesh, 0.8mm wire, in the same grade used on boat fittings for its corrosion resistance. Tested for knife shear, impact and anti-jemmy resistance, and rated to 10,000 hours of salt spray with its powder-coat finish. The one to choose on the coast, or anywhere security matters and you don't want to lose the view.

Diamond grille screens

A 7mm aluminium grille built to AS 5039-2008, paired with your choice of insect mesh. The economical way to get a genuine security screen — more visible than woven mesh, and a long-proven design.

BasiX® fall prevention screens

0.7mm 316 stainless mesh, tested to AS 5203:2016 for protection of openable windows. Worth knowing: a compliant fall-prevention screen lets the window open fully, where a window limiter restricts it to 125mm. If you have upper-floor windows and small children, this is the option that keeps the airflow.

Depending on the look required, you have many colour options for your Carinya Windows and Doors. 

Carinya Windows and Doors can be finished by one of two options for aluminium:

Powder Coating

• A tough and durable option allowing for a wide range of colours.
• A choice of world-leading suppliers of powder finishes;
• Finishing is provided by supplier-accredited Alspec branches, as well as selected quality contractors.
• Warranties are available. Depending on your finish option, you will receive a warranty ranging from 7 years (film and colour integrity) to 15 years (film and colour integrity).

Anodising

You may prefer a choice of anodising, an electro-chemical treatment available in standard finishes, natural anodised, and non-standard, bronze and black.

The Carinya Classic Sliding Window has been designed with matching stylish hardware, with the option for a lockable or non-lockable proprietary handle.

The slimline design, mounted in an easily accessible position on the rear of the sliding sash, offers ease of use and minimises view obstruction.

To maximise the performance and life of your window, we have utilised our proprietary commercial rollers that have been tried and proven in commercial applications such as schools and offices. This ensures that your windows will always be easy to open, even with large sashes and heavier glass options.

All Carinya Sliding Windows feature corner blocks in all four corners of the sliding sash. These blocks make the sash more rigid, reducing twisting and movement. This reduction in movement increases the performance of the window by reducing opportunities for air and water infiltration.

An optional vent lock is also available, allowing the sliding sash to be secured in a semi-opened position for partial ventilation, child safety and security.

The Carinya Collection of aluminium framed windows and doors has been specifically designed to be environmentally friendly, reflecting Carinya's commercial market heritage, where thermal and acoustic performance are often critical.

Of all building materials, including glass, timber and masonry, only one material is 100% recyclable - Aluminium.

Windows are vital to the energy efficiency of any home. Research by the Sustainable Windows Alliance of Australia shows the typical Australian home can achieve an increase of 2 to 2.5 stars in energy efficiency simply by upgrading the windows.

Unlike many aluminium windows, Carinya has been designed for all major forms of eco-friendly glazing options without any alteration to the frame or any unsightly add-ons.

Carinya frames are designed for eco-friendly Low E glass, high thermal and high acoustic performance 10.5mm glazing. To maximise the energy efficiency of your glazing discuss your project with a member of our team and/or your architect or designer.

Remember the three most important issues for achieving maximum energy efficiency in a home are:

• Orientation - always try to have living areas facing north with seasonal shading.
• Insulation.
• Window quality and performance.
