Basso hardwood windows are made to the most elegant contemporary and traditional designs
and exacting standards of craftsmanship, all having a
standardized rating of thermal and acoustic insulation.

Basso products share these benefits -

  • Beautiful appearance of traditional, contemporary and exotic styles

  • Excellent sound and thermal insulation properties

  • Solid timber construction in Cedrorana, a farmed rainforest hardwood unknown in Australia

  • High quality craftsmanship - all products are crafted to    a tolerance of less than 0.1 mm, which inferior hardwoods and softwoods like Cedar or Meranti do not permit

  • Durability and stability - these products will not warp, shrink, crack, loosen screw purchase  or otherwise deteriorate over time; resistant to bugs, mould, moisture, sun and parrots - will hardly burn

BASSO uses two main processes for making the joints in its doors and windows – the traditional flat mortise and tenon joint and a Scandinavian system using round wooden dowels or pins. Both systems have advantages and either one can be supplied in any BASSO product requiring corner jointing. In both systems the parts are glued under pressure with one of several different kinds of waterproof glues selected for the particular application.

Acoustic and Thermal sealing are achieved by means of extruded structural aluminium forms which also act as runner channels for the sliding window rollers, and as guides. Additional sealing is achieved apart  from these members by means of aluminium-mounted nylon linear brushes at top and bottom, and for the centre seal on sliding windows.  Click for more details and illustrations -
