The Duce Difference

2

Energy Effi ciency and Sustainability Timber is a renewable resource and we only use timber that has been sourced from managed and sustainable forests. This ensures that the material for any timber product we make, is thoughtfully selected to protect the wellbeing and future of our natural environment.

The manufacturing process for producing our timber windows and doors is gentle on the environment. It does not require the mining of our limited precious minerals or the huge energy that is needed, to produce some of the other man-made materials on the market today.


Select Door Type

When choosing a door, think about what is important to you

and what you require. You may consider energy effi ciency,

sound reduction, ventilation, safety and security.

Where will this door be located in your home? For example, you

may want bi-folding doors ideal for the entertainment area, or

would a sliding stacking door be a better solution to save space

and cost? Or perhaps you want to go ‘all French’, with doors that

swing open to your beautifully landscaped gardens?

Select Window Type

There are several styles of windows and the one that is most

appropriate can depend on the factors most important to you.

Consider the amount of space available for the window and

it’s location in the home. What is the wind classifi cation of your

home? - Ask your builder or council. What level of security do

you require? All our windows are fi tted with key fasteners as

standard and we can screen any style of window or door.

How do you want your window to operate – manually sliding

up or down or mechanically wind out? For example, louvre

windows, or double hung windows may be ideal for your

bathroom or kitchen, or you may choose bi-fold windows

ideal for a kitchen servery, breakfast bar or entertainment

area.

Do you require maximum ventilation or do you want to open

your windows during inclement weather without bringing it

inside? You may be concerned about which window looks best

on the outside when opened.

Select Finish

When you select Duce Timber windows & Doors you can expect unsurpassed quality and value that others cannot emulate making Duce the fi rst choice of leading architects, designers and builders in Queensland and New South Wales.

>>>>>>>

Select Design

You can choose from the most popular of our designs, or if you

are feeling really inspired why not just design your own? There

isn’t anything that we can’t do. Give us your idea in any form you

like, and we will make it a reality.

Select Timber

Choose from fi ve stock timbers: Surian Red Cedar, New Guinea

Rosewood, Amoora, Kwila or Western Red Cedar. Or you can

request timber types providing they are durable and available

such as Australian timbers Spotted Gum & Jarrah and ‘good

wood’ sourced from an environmentally friendly and socially

benefi cial scheme such as Eco timber.

Select Hardware

All Duce products are fi tted with high quality hardware. Ask our

design consultants about the wide range of styles and options we

have available.



Select Glass

Selecting the correct glass for your doors and windows is important. You

can improve the thermal performance, comfort and the overall energy

effi ciency of your home whilst increasing its resale value.

For most homes reducing heat gain is essential and you can achieve this

without compromising daylight, comfort or energy effi ciency by selecting

the correct glass.

Our consultants can help you to chose the best and most cost effective

glass for your particular application or your energy certifi er will nominate

the performance requirement for the whole of house by specifying the

SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coeffi cient) and UV (U Value) to meet the relevant

Australian council building requirement.

Our products are glazed to comply with Australian Standard 1288/2006

as required by the BCA (Building Code of Australia). Different glasses offer

a variety of benefi ts such as safety, reducing heat and or glare, blocking

UV radiation, transmitting visible light, and there is even a self-cleaning

glass available.

Talk to us about your particular needs and we will help you to make the

best selection.

>

> >Select Screens

If you require screens, we aim to fi nd

solutions to screen every window and

door. Ask about our range of systems

and options to suit your needs.

Select Finish

To protect your investment, we offer the fi rst coat of fi nish in

the factory to avoid any potential markings during transit or

construction. We use world famous brand Sikkens wood fi nish

systems and Orica Intergrain range of paints. These systems include

high performance alkyd resins combined with other chemicals to

form a durable, continuous fi lm with excellent adhesion.

Australian Made, to Australian Standards The size, orientation, glazing treatment and internal coverings of your windows all have a signifi cant impact on the energy effi ciency and comfort of your home. For a typically insulated house, the windows provide the greatest opportunity for heat gain or loss. Choosing energy effi cient windows is a simple way of improving the comfort of your home, while at the same time saving real money on your energy bill, reducing the green house gas emissions needed to provide that energy and improving the re-sale value of your home.

Our windows and doors are all certifi ed to the Australian Glazing Standard AS1288 for your safety. It is our policy to certify all windows and doors to suit water penetration resistance and structural requirement of

Australian Standard AS2047. Products that have passed strict NATA testing requirements prove our high quality construction methods and weather sealing systems effectively exclude wind and rain. We also fi t performance labels to your joinery to show that it has been designed to suit the conditions in your location.

Our product is proudly supported by the ‘Duce Timber Windows and Doors Seven-Year Guarantee’ to provide peace of mind for you, your architect and your builder.


AUSTRALIAN MADE AND

MANUFACTURED


Pivot Doors – A lasting fi rst impression

Pivot doors are fast becoming a popular modern alternative

to the hinged door. Pivot bearings replace conventional

hinges to open up new and exciting design possibilities.

With self-closing and hold open functions these top quality

pivots can handle the weight of an impressive over-sized

door with ease and safety.

Hinged Entry Doors – Creating your statement

The hinged entry door is a traditional choice that

can be enhanced with the latest treatments and

techniques in order to create designs that suit any

building from the oldest heritage treasures, to the

latest in ultra modern style. We have an extensive

selection of design ideas or why not design your

own? We can create any design.

French Doors – Elegance that transcends time

The French door has been a part of Australia’s history

for more than 200 years. They are a traditional way

to open up areas of your home and their beauty is

undeniable. With an infi nite range of design options

available, these doors can be used to add elegance

to any home.

Sliding Doors – Space effi cient alternative

The sliding door is an excellent solution for many

applications. With our heavy duty track system, large

doors can be used so that uninterrupted views are a

feature even when the doors are closed and yet they

glide open with surprising ease. Sliding doors are

ideal for areas that have restricted space and as a

perfect alternative to a bi-fold, are also ideal for your

entertainment area. The sliding door can take many

forms from the most simple standard sliding door unit

to a multi-stacking set that opens up an entire wall or

corner and can even slide within a cavity to disappear

altogether. Matching timber fl yscreens are available

as required.

Folding Doors – Endless views

Folding doors have revolutionised the face of contem-

porary design by providing a new way that you, or your

architect can link your living space seamlessly to your

outdoor environment. Now walls have become optional

and natural light and air can fl ow in as effortlessly as the

clouds fl oat across the sky. Our craftsmen build high qual-

ity folding doors to suit almost any aperture. This, together

with hardware systems from Centor Architectural, can

create the smoothest motion and fi ngertip operation that

provide a formidable barrier when closed.

VentwoodVentwood panels by Duce Timber Windows & Doors are a unique design of modular or slatted timber which can enhance the style and appearance of any application. The Ventwood product has been in production for more than 60 years. Each panel is custom designed and manufactured on a per order basis and can be installed both as an internal or external architectural feature.

Gate DesignsCustom designed timber gates add style and security to your home. Gate systems are strong, reliable and built to withstand the harsh Australian environment.


Bi-folding Windows – Entertaining With Ease

Perfect for a servery or bar area. Our bi-fold windows are at home in

any window application where unobstructed views and unhindered

breezes are important. The durability of Duce timbers are matched

by the laboratory-proven staying power of Centor’s state of the art

hardware, fl exible to a range of panel sizes and confi gurations. An

optional integrated retractable fl yscreen system makes large window

openings a practical choice as well as an aesthetic one, while care

has been taken to ensure that panel adjustment is possible from

within the building.

Sliding Windows – A Classic Choice

As with sliding doors these windows are an excellent space saver

and perfect alternative to bi-fold windows. Easy to use and maintain,

the sliding window is a classic design. Fly screens are available with

fi xed or sliding options.

Casement Windows – Catching the Softest Breeze

A casement window offers ample ventilation regardless of wind

direction. Windows can be opened to 105 degrees and the angle of

the sashes can be adjusted to create a generous opening. Windows

are hinged, opening out from the side opposite to the side that is

hinged, catching even the softest summer breeze. The outer side

of the windows can easily be cleaned from the inside. Colonial and

Federation bars can be added if desired.

Awning Windows – Enjoying the Peace & Quiet

Awning windows are becoming the popular window of choice. They

push out effortlessly from the bottom and when open, they give

ventilation with a measure of rain protection. Awning windows

are hinged along the top and open from the bottom and awning

sashes give the best results in sound reduction. As with casement

windows, awnings can be utilised in most positions, but may be

unsuitable for decks or walkways due to their projecting nature. Fly

screens can be fi tted internally.

Double Hung Windows – Ideal for Walkways

Double hung windows have a range of features. They are easy to

open and close, smooth to operate and ensure maximum protection.

Ask about our range of systems: spiral balance, jamb liner (tilted or

weighted). The double hung window allows for easy cleaning. The

two independently moving sashes bypass to permit cleaning from

the inside.

Picture Windows – Admiring the View

Picture windows provide maximum light and can make rooms

appear larger, and more spacious. The sleek design is aesthetically

pleasing allowing for improved peripheral vision from inside to

outside the window. Picture windows can be combined with any

other window style to create truly unique combinations that can

improve the entire aesthetic look and feel of your home.

Bay Windows – Creating More Space

Bay windows create additional space and dimension to a room and

can give your home a distinctive look. They are used to increase the

fl ow of natural light into a building as well as provide views of the

outside that would be unavailable with an ordinary window.

Curved & Arched Windows – A Classic Touch

Arched windows come in various forms and add a classic touch to

any home especially above an entrance door. Arched windows can

also be used to recreate an architectural period. Curved windows are

an excellent architectural feature, a fi ne example of this are curved

bi-folding doors which are used in many architect designed homes

adding a sleek contemporary look.

Sashless Windows - Simple & Sleek

Sashless windows are a popular choice with architects and interior

designers. They consist of panes of glass, which overlap when opening

or closing, to deliver the look of fi xed glass with the practicality of a

window that is easy to operate. Screens can be fi tted externally.

Louvre Windows – Class of Their Own

Every room in the home needs a breath of fresh air and louvre

windows are a great way to achieve this, when open to horizontal

the blades offer very little resistance to a cooling summer breeze.

With a choice of glass, timber and aluminium blades a louvre

window is a versatile addition to the home, blades are also available

in high performance glass which improves the energy rating of the

louvre window, homes are cooler in summer and warmer in winter

with the added advantage of saving energy costs.

Traditional Styles – Colonial & Federation

If you want the colonial or federation look for your home we

can supply windows & doors specially designed to suit your

requirements. We are not limited in designs, and can match any

existing style.

Hardware, Screens & ShuttersHardware is manufactured from high-grade

stainless steel, solid brass, anodised aluminium

and engineering grade plastics. All components

such as roller locks, tracking systems, handles

and levers we use are only from the highest

quality brands. Just ask about our range of

options that will complement your design and

budget.

All our windows and doors can be screened. We

have some unique door screening systems to suit

any design. Screening bi-fold doors and windows

for large openings can be solved stylishly and

unobtrusively by Centor’s unique window screen

system. The perfect complement to our bi-fold

windows, the window screen is ready for action.

With the windows closed, the window screen

can be simply rolled back out of view.

We recommend ‘Verosol Shutters’, which can be

installed into all our products.

Your timber windows and doors require

regular care and maintenance to ensure

that they do last a lifetime. Under the

‘Duce Seven-Year Guarantee’ it is

required that you maintain your windows

and doors in the best possible way.

A six-monthly check and thorough clean

is recommended in clean air environments,

and a three-monthly check and thorough

clean is recommended in coastal or

damp environments. Please refer to our PDS

for full care and maintenance information.

Apply Extra Coats of Finish Following installation, you need to apply

extra coats of fi nish. This will offer longer

time frames between touch-ups. Check the

fi nish every six months and re-coat and

touch-up as necessary.

Vacuum Your TracksWe recommend all dirt, sand, dust and any

other debris be removed as regularly as

possible. Particularly for sliding windows

and doors. This will protect your rollers and

limit potential functionality issues. Why not

include this in your regular weekly clean?

Lubricate Moving PartsSuch as rollers, locks, hinges with a silicone

based-spray.

Cleaning Your GlassClean and inspect your windows at least

once every 6 months or more often if

desired. If your windows are subjected to

spillage of cement, render or other waste,

you must wash them clean immediately or

you may risk a permanent stain or damage

to your window frames.

Avoid Harsh UtensilsDo not use metal scrapers to remove

paint etc from glass surfaces as many of

the new high performance glass options

have surfaces that are easily scratched or

damaged if not properly cared for.

Avoid High Pressure CleanersDo not hose down your windows with a high

pressure cleaner, they are not designed for

this and water may leak inside, or worse –

break the glass.
