01

Operation and everyday use

The sash is an inward-opening tilt-and-turn design. It offers two distinct modes: turn the sash to open it, or tilt it for a restricted opening. The most suitable position depends on the immediate circumstances. Both movements are incorporated into one operating system, rather than requiring separate window elements for these forms of use.

Place the handle deliberately in the required position and guide the sash in a controlled way. Where possible, change the handle position only after completing the relevant opening movement. As the handle is selectable, choose one that feels comfortable in use and suits both the oak frame and intended colour.

Operation takes place from the room side because the sash moves inward. Think about how the window will be reached and the routine use of its handle. The separate section on the intended opening addresses the spatial assessment. For daily use, guide the sash steadily and make sure no items occupy its direct travel path.

For regular care, keep visible surfaces and the handle clean using methods suitable for each material. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products simply as a matter of habit. Glazing, timber surfaces, silicone seals and fittings are different components and may require different treatment. Careful operation and material-appropriate maintenance help you treat the window as one assembly without confusing its individual materials.

02

Construction, components and dimensions

The construction is oak. The outer frame is specified as 82 × 90 mm, and the sash frame also has a component dimension of 82 × 90 mm. These figures expressly describe the named frame components. They are not the overall width and height of the window, nor a finished order size for the wall opening. Overall dimensions are set for the particular project through the available made-to-measure service.

A 14 mm measurement is specified for mounting holes. The fittings are by Roto Frank. This identifies the intended fittings; it is not a choice between fitting brands. Oak is likewise the fixed material for this version, rather than one option in a list of timbers. This distinction helps separate component specifications from the purchase decisions that are actually available.

The fixed specification includes heat-reflective double insulated glazing and silicone glazing seals. The EI30 fire-rated window is CE marked and offered with a five-year commercial warranty. Alongside the oak construction, Roto Frank fittings and stated frame and mounting-hole dimensions, these features form the basis for project-specific discussion. Australian Consumer Law rights that cannot be excluded apply separately.

When making an enquiry, do not calculate an assumed overall size from component dimensions. Instead, provide the dimensions established for your project separately and state clearly what each relates to. This keeps the existing building situation distinct from fixed window components, supporting precise communication where drawings or several openings are involved.

Keep fixed product specifications separate from your individual selections. Colour, handle and made-to-measure dimensions can be tailored to the project. Oak framing, Roto Frank fittings, silicone seals and coated double glazing, however, belong to the described product version. A clear division between these details makes it easier to prepare an unambiguous enquiry.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Because the tilt-and-turn sash moves inward, assess the intended opening spatially as well as dimensionally. Determine all project-relevant measurements carefully and record what each figure refers to. Frame dimensions in the product specification do not replace this work: they describe individual components, not the finished external size of your made-to-measure window.

Also examine the internal area needed as the sash turns. A sill, reveal, radiator, fittings, furniture, curtains or other elements may affect practical use. Include possible obstructions in your assessment so that inward movement is considered in the actual space, rather than only on a flat façade drawing.

Handle access may also influence the assessment. Consider where you would normally operate the window and whether the chosen one- or two-sash layout suits that position. The area immediately beside the sash also matters in tilt mode. A suitable elevation does not automatically ensure suitable use in the room.

Existing openings can have uneven edges, different reference planes or differing internal and external views, making documentation more difficult. A labelled sketch can make measurement points easier to follow. If photographs are used, they should clearly show the opening and adjoining components. Photos do not replace measurements, but can make the spatial conditions easier to understand.

Finally, compare the chosen sash arrangement with the area genuinely available for operation. Only then should colour and handle be finalised as visual details. This keeps basic usability of the proposed opening as the starting point, with design coordination built upon it. If uncertain, seek qualified assessment of the actual building situation before using binding project dimensions.

Colour, oak and visual composition

Oak is the material basis of this window. A colour choice is available for its visible finish, allowing the window to join your project’s colour scheme without presuming a different timber species. Name the preferred colour clearly, rather than expecting it to be inferred from surrounding photographs or broad descriptions such as “to match the façade”.

For visual coordination, start with the larger surfaces and lines: wall area, window frame, glazing and the one- or two-sash division. Smaller details such as the handle can follow. This is not a fixed design rule, but it helps avoid judging one detail separately from the complete window composition.

Along with colour and made-to-measure sizing, the handle is an expressly available choice. It contributes to both operation and the visible design. Consider whether it should stand out deliberately or blend quietly into the overall appearance. State your handle preference clearly in the enquiry.

A two-sash arrangement creates more visible division points than a one-sash version. The same frame colour may therefore appear different according to the layout. A strong colour can emphasise frame lines, while a restrained choice can visually connect them more closely with their surroundings. Consider colour and sash division together in the relevant architectural setting.

If the window forms part of a sequence of different openings, a shared façade elevation can make the decision easier. Review axes, spacing and repeated frame lines. Adjacent products do not need identical technical specifications to relate visually. What matters is recording the required colour and handle for this particular fire-rated window separately, rather than deriving them from other windows or doors.

Comparing related windows and doors

When choosing a product, first establish the function and opening direction needed at each position. This EI30 window is oak and opens inward with tilt-and-turn operation. The related range also includes outward-opening windows, combination windows, non-opening fixed glazing and single-sash patio doors. This helps you plan each opening in a project with an appropriate product type.

The outward-opening passive-house window differs from this fire-rated window in opening direction, sash type, material, glazing and frame construction. The combination window offers various timber versions, some with aluminium cladding, and combines elements within one window unit. Both are separate options for different planning requirements and should be selected from their own specifications.

Fixed-glazed windows do not open, making them a comparison option where no operating function is required. Classic, round, semicircular, triangular and angled fixed glazing is available for orientation. Depending on the product type, pine, oak or aluminium-clad versions are specified. Their glazing and frame dimensions also differ from the EI30 window.

For terrace access, single-sash outward-opening patio doors are offered in standard and historic styles. Both are made to measure and allow colour and handle selection, but have their own door fittings, glazing options and designs. List windows and doors as separate positions in your project schedule, using the complete product name for each.

When comparing related products, focus on opening method, material, glazing, available design and the purchase decisions that suit each item. A shared colour concept can visually link different elements, while dimensions and technical construction must be set independently for every position. The following related products provide an overview of available alternatives: Super Low Uw outward-opening passive-house window, Combination window, Fixed-glazed window, Round fixed-glazed window, Semicircular fixed-glazed window, Triangular and angled fixed-glazed windows, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Historic-style single-sash outward-opening patio door.

Preparing your enquiry in a few steps

Start with the full product name, “EI30 fire-rated inward-opening window”. This makes clear which window your information concerns. Then choose the stated one- or two-sash configuration. If several positions are planned, give each a short, clear position name and record the required composition for every position separately.

Next, compile the project dimensions you have carefully established. Label every measurement so its reference remains clear, distinguishing your project figures from the product’s fixed component data. A simple sketch using the same position names can assist with allocation. Avoid unlabelled sequences of numbers, which can easily be misunderstood without a reference plane.

Then record the required colour. Describe it as clearly as possible and do not rely solely on a photograph or screen display. Add your handle preference afterwards. Since colour and handle are available options, both should appear as deliberate decisions, not merely assumptions drawn from a general style description.

Finally, summarise relevant information for each window position: product name, configuration, project dimensions, colour and preferred handle. Put particular questions in a separate list so they are not lost among measurements. If related product types are also included, list them under their own product names and do not mix their properties with those of the fire-rated window.

Before sending, check that terms are used consistently. In particular, “outer frame”, “sash frame”, “project dimension” and “sash arrangement” should not be treated as interchangeable. A clearly structured enquiry supports focused discussion of genuinely available choices, without accidentally presenting fixed specifications as open options. This provides a traceable basis for further coordination of your made-to-measure window.

Is the fire-rated window available made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure production is one of the available options. Send the carefully established project dimensions and required configuration. The stated frame dimensions describe individual components and must not be treated as the overall size of the ordered window.

What material is the window made from?

The window is made from oak. This material provides the natural basis for its appearance and can be considered when coordinating colour, wall surfaces and other building elements.

Can I choose a colour?

Yes. A colour choice is available, allowing the window to be coordinated visually with the project. It is best to state the exact colour in your enquiry so the required appearance can be recorded clearly.

Can the handle be selected?

Yes. In addition to dimensions and colour, you can choose the handle. Consider both daily operation and its visual effect on the oak window. Send your handle preference together with the desired one- or two-sash configuration.

Is the window CE marked?

Yes, the EI30 fire-rated window is CE marked. Use the complete product name in your enquiry so dimensions, sash configuration, colour and handle choice are clearly assigned to this inward-opening window.

How long is the warranty?

This product has a five-year commercial warranty. Keep order-specific information and documents together so the particular window can be identified later. This warranty statement relates to the described product and does not limit applicable Australian Consumer Law rights.

Which glazing is used?

The window has double insulated glazing with a heat-reflective coating. Its glazing seals are silicone.

Is the fire-rated window available with one or two sashes?

This product is offered as a one-sash inward-opening design or a two-sash inward-opening EI30 window. The better option depends on project dimensions, available space inside for movement and the desired façade appearance.
