01

Plan everyday use and operation from the outset

In a combination window, the arrangement of individual sections shapes both its appearance and later use. Decide early which areas need to be reachable in daily life and what function is expected there. Include these requirements with your preferred layout, so visual division and practical use can be assessed as one connected concept.

Where the layout includes suitable opening sections, you may select a handle. Coordinate its appearance with the frame material, colour and glazing-bar pattern rather than treating it separately from the window configuration. Most importantly, make your intended everyday use of those sections clear in the enquiry.

Also assess access to the glass and frame surfaces. Furniture, benchtops, deep reveals, curtains, or internal privacy and sun-screening elements can affect approach to the window. A room sketch helps make these conditions clear and compare the preferred composition with the real way the space will be used.

Plan for future care as well. Glass, timber, aluminium-clad outer faces and handles require material-appropriate cleaning. Use suitable products and gentle tools, following the maintenance instructions for the selected surface. Accessible areas make routine cleaning easier and help you care for each material over time.

For a wide wall opening, you might first decide how the full area should be visually divided. Then consider which parts need to be accessible and whether the layout provides suitable opening sections. This develops a window composition in which appearance, usability and room conditions are considered together from the beginning.

02

Construction, component dimension and documented core data

The frame is available in four material versions: pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak, and aluminium-clad oak. You can therefore select either timber species, then choose a solid-timber finish or the aluminium-clad alternative. Consider both the interior character and the external appearance when making your selection.

A component dimension of 14 mm is stated for the mounting holes. This measurement refers specifically to those holes. It is not the window depth, width or height, nor a general dimension for the frame, profile or installation opening. Use it only in that stated context when planning. The actual window dimensions result from custom manufacture and the opening provided.

The insulated glass unit is offered with 2 or 3 panes. Both versions form part of the stated glazing construction and are supplemented by other specified components. The appropriate option for your project should be included in the enquiry and not inferred solely from the external appearance.

The combination window has a 5-year commercial guarantee. Keep the purchase and product documents, and follow their conditions, care guidance and use instructions. This guarantee is separate from proper planning, installation and project suitability, and does not exclude rights under Australian Consumer Law.

This combination window is CE marked. Individual dimensions, junctions and local installation conditions nevertheless remain essential to project planning. Keep the different details distinct: 14 mm applies only to mounting holes, two or three panes to the insulated glass unit, and the five-year guarantee to the product. Overall dimensions are set to suit the intended opening.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

As the combination window is custom made, planning starts with a reliable assessment of the existing or proposed opening. Do not record only one overall measurement. Check the opening at several points and note whether wall faces, reveals and adjoining components are straight, level and square. A suitably qualified person should verify the order dimensions derived from this information.

Separate the rough opening, overall window size and visible glass or frame layout; they serve different purposes and cannot be equated without checking. Record where each measurement and view is taken from. Clearly labelled interior and exterior views prevent the intended division being read as a mirror image.

The installation situation also includes junctions around the opening. The façade, internal lining, sill, sealing layers and adjoining elements can affect window sizing and its position within the opening. Show these areas in your sketch and coordinate junction planning with the building and the requirements applying at the site.

Include necessary clearances and operating space in project planning. Explain in your enquiry how the window will be used and whether furniture, work surfaces, sloping ceilings, curtains or other elements come close to the opening. Where the selected arrangement includes opening sections, their access and required free space must suit the actual room conditions.

For a new opening, show the planned window composition in a scaled drawing. For an existing opening, add clear photos and a sketch of adjoining wall surfaces. Photos aid understanding but do not replace measurements. Note whether visible lines from neighbouring windows or doors should continue. This preparation creates a sound basis without treating a rough wall opening as unchecked finished dimensions.

06

Material, colour and proportion as a visual composition

Material choices include pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. Pine and oak each bring their own natural character indoors. In the clad versions, the relevant timber base is combined with aluminium cladding, allowing the interior and exterior material decisions to be considered as connected parts of the design.

Colour selection is one of the available purchase choices. Always consider colour alongside the chosen material and window location. A colour can appear different indoors and on the façade because light, surrounding surfaces and viewing distance vary. Record which viewing side matters most to your decision and which existing colours should act as references.

In a complex window area, colour is only one part of the effect. Frame lines, glass area, glazing-bar direction and section proportions work together. Matching adjacent components with a restrained colour can unify the composition; deliberate contrast can emphasise its divisions. These are design possibilities, not effects guaranteed in every setting.

Assess the visible outcome using the actual material and colour version selected. Especially with a larger window arrangement, review interior and exterior views separately, as light, façade materials and nearby surfaces alter perception. A clearly labelled colour and material schedule in your enquiry helps identify the intended design without ambiguity.

One possible example is a façade with distinct horizontal lines, where a horizontally divided pattern could be considered as a visual reference. In a room with more strongly vertical wall panels, a vertical division may instead be of interest. Such references remain personal design intentions. The product itself does not prescribe an architectural style or a particular architectural effect.

07

Comparing window forms and opening types sensibly

A combination window suits projects where several sections are planned as one coordinated window arrangement. If a special geometric form, fixed glazing only, or an explicitly outward-opening design is the priority, compare the related window types. Start with the basic function and form before comparing dimensions, material, colour and glazing-bar pattern.

Fixed-glazed window types are available for round, semi-round, triangular and angled openings. Round and semi-round versions are offered in pine or oak. Triangular and angled windows are also available in pine or oak with aluminium cladding. None of these three product types opens, making them a focused alternative where light and form matter more than an operable sash.

Where an outward-opening window solution is required, compare the related pivot, top-hung and side-hung windows. These types are available in pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak, with a handle choice. The important question is which named opening type suits the intended use and installation situation; detailed planning then follows for the selected product.

For access to a terrace, related single-leaf outward-opening terrace doors may be suitable. Alongside the regular version, a historic-style option is available. Both are separate door products with their own material, glazing, hardware and design choices. Where windows and doors share a façade, colour, glazing-bar lines and sightlines can be coordinated visually, while technical details are still planned product by product.

The following related products provide a direct overview of fixed special shapes, outward-opening windows and suitable terrace-door versions: Round fixed-glazed window, Semi-round fixed-glazed window, Triangular and angled fixed-glazed windows, Outward-opening pivot window, Outward-opening top-hung window, Outward-opening single-leaf side-hung window, Single-leaf outward-opening terrace door, Historic-style single-leaf outward-opening terrace door.

Preparing your enquiry in a clear order

Start with a brief project description. State the building area, interior and exterior sides, and why you are considering a combination window. Describe observable requirements rather than general preferences: for example, a particular direction of division, a relationship to nearby openings, or a preferred material character.

Then include checked dimensions and an easy-to-understand sketch. Mark the viewing direction and show how the overall area is to be divided. Supporting photos can explain the location, but should not replace a dimensioned drawing. Point out adjoining components that may be relevant to planning or everyday use.

Next, specify the preferred material version: pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. Record your colour selection and explain whether it is intended to relate to existing façade, interior or component colours. For an unambiguous design, name the glazing-bar pattern by its official designation.

Then describe the expected daily use. If the selected arrangement includes suitable opening sections, add your preferred handle choice. Also mention furniture, work surfaces, curtains or other elements that could affect access. Particular installation requirements and necessary coordination with adjoining components should be clearly identified as well.

Finally, check the documents for contradictions. Do the dimensions, sketch and viewing direction agree? Is the material version unambiguous? Are colour, pane configuration and glazing-bar pattern clearly assigned? Is a handle requested only for a layout with suitable opening sections? An orderly enquiry supports further planning for your custom-made window.

Can I choose the colour of the combination window?

Yes. Colour selection is one of the available purchase choices. Consider the façade, adjoining components and interior design so that frame, cladding and glazing-bar pattern work as one coordinated composition.

When can I select a handle for the combination window?

A handle can be selected when the chosen arrangement includes suitable opening sections. First state the preferred window composition and your daily-use requirements. It can then be clarified which handle option suits that specific version.

Is the window suitable for an individually sized opening?

Custom manufacture enables planning around your intended opening. Carefully taken dimensions and details about form, junctions and installation conditions are essential. These details should be professionally checked before the final specification is confirmed.

Which material versions are available?

Choose from pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. Consider the desired material and surface effect indoors and on the façade to determine which of these four versions suits your project.

Can I design the glazing-bar pattern freely?

Available choices are “SH1 – without glazing bars”, one horizontal glazing bar, one vertical glazing bar, two vertical glazing bars, or a combination of one horizontal and one vertical glazing bar. Choose the named pattern whose direction of division best suits the window proportions and façade lines.

What should I consider for later cleaning?

Assess access to every visible glass and frame area during planning. The right cleaning method depends on installation position, access and surfaces. Follow the care guidance for the materials and hardware used.

Which glazing options are available?

The combination window uses an insulated glass unit with two or three panes. Both options include a heat-reflective coating, CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas filling. Specify the required pane configuration in your enquiry.

What does CE marking mean for my planning?

The combination window is CE marked. For your specific project, carefully coordinate dimensions, installation conditions, junctions with adjoining components and the requirements at the intended site.
