European designed and Australian made, the Archetto series is a high-performance range of world standard timber windows developed exclusively by architectural window and door company BINQ Windows.

BINQ Windows is determined to raise the industry standard by providing customers with excellent service and access to the world’s leading products. The European designed and engineered Archetto series is integral to this mission statement, as BINQ delivers a beautiful, durable and thermally efficient product to the market.

Made from locally sourced Victorian ash or blackbutt timber, the Archetto series has achieved certification levels of BAL 19 and BAL 29 and is ideally suited to the extreme climatic challenges of the rural Australian environment.

Crafted from 68 millimetre timber profiles and offering the highest possible thermal efficiency, the Archetto series provides a glazing rebate of up to 32 millimetre and comes with double glazing as standard, with triple glazing and unlimited size and scale options also available. “Our Archetto series is a range of products whose roots are German-designed and engineered, but we’ve sourced hardware from Italy that allows us to tweak these designs to be more suited to the Australian market,” explains BINQ Managing Director Jacob Cosentino. “We feel that Australians are very design-conscious and through the small design tweaks – utilising slimmer timber profiles to allow for more glass and having a range of Italian handles – this series is a very elegant, functional and well-performing suite of products, all manufactured in Australia.”

Made from locally sourced Victorian ash or blackbutt timber, the Archetto series has achieved certification levels of BAL 19 and BAL 29 and is ideally suited to the extreme climatic challenges of the rural Australian environment. “Without limiting hardware restrictions, the size and scale of these products are endless, allowing you the ultimate flexibility in your design,” says Jacob. “The Archetto series uses heavy duty, high security hardware imported from Italy and Germany, which is engineered to carry heavy weights, allowing for expansive design by large-scale openings.”

Renowned for exceptional thermal efficiency, the Archetto series has been specified in projects by Melbourne-based development company HIP V. HYPE.
