01

Operation and everyday use

This Kombi window has one outward-opening sash, while the other pane remains fixed. Day-to-day operation is therefore limited to the designated sash; the fixed pane is an immobile part of the whole unit. The arrangement works well where one connected window area should include both an opening section and a calm, fixed glazed section. Available handle options let you choose a control that suits the planned use and visual design of the window.

When opened, the sash moves outward rather than taking up swing space inside the room. This can matter when arranging furniture or other items indoors. The external area also needs to be considered: before deciding, check that the intended installation position works with this opening direction. Consider more than the wall opening itself, including practical use of the window within your particular project. Confirm the opening type early, rather than allowing glazing bars or colour to determine it later.

For unambiguous planning, identify the fixed pane and sash clearly in your enquiry. A simple drawing from a stated viewing direction helps show both elements and the chosen glazing-bar layout. This is especially useful where the fixed pane and sash have different divisions. Copy the full layout name and indicate in the sketch how its described division should appear on the planned window elevation.

Handle selection forms part of the available configuration. SPILKA and IPA hardware is specified for the construction, while the particular handle choice should be considered separately. In your enquiry, describe which handle suits the project and how the window will be used each day. Together with dimensions, frame material, colour, glazing and glazing-bar layout, this gives a clear product specification.

Construction, materials and component dimensions

Frame options are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. State the timber choice and whether aluminium cladding is required as one complete material description. Profiles vary by version. The outer frame is specified at 105 × 57 mm, or 115 × 57 mm with aluminium cladding. The sash frame is specified at 76 × 65 mm, becoming 86 × 65 mm with aluminium cladding. These are profile or component dimensions, not the overall window size.

Mounting holes are specified as 14 mm. This figure describes the holes only; it is not a wall-opening measurement or fixing spacing. Project-specific manufacturing dimensions are still needed to plan the complete window. As this product is available made to measure, clearly separate overall sizes in your enquiry from the component dimensions stated here. A labelled dimension drawing is more informative than an unexplained string of figures.

The window uses 2- or 3-pane insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating, warm edge (CHR), argon gas fill and black rubber seals at the glass joint. The Kombi side-hung window is CE marked and has a five-year commercial guarantee, additional to Australian Consumer Law rights. In your enquiry, record the glazing build separately from dimensions, material and design.

SPILKA and IPA hardware is used in the construction. Customisable points include made-to-measure dimensions plus the colour and handle selection. You can also select the offered material version, glazing and a suitable glazing-bar layout. Always state the material in full, for example pine with aluminium cladding or oak without aluminium cladding, so the intended frame construction is clear.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As this Kombi window can be made to measure, planning starts with a clearly documented building opening. Allocate every measurement clearly instead of sending only a sequence of figures. Your sketch should show the viewing direction and identify the inside and outside faces. Mark the fixed pane and sash according to the required arrangement. This enables dimensions, opening direction and the window elevation to be understood together.

Measure the opening at several suitable points so variations in the existing structure can be identified. Published dimensions for the outer frame, sash frame and mounting holes do not replace project-specific details for the building opening and required overall window size. Record these three types of measurement separately and label every value clearly. This applies to existing buildings and new builds where the intended opening is already shown in project documentation.

Opening direction is a key planning consideration for this product. The sash moves outward, so allow adequate clear space outside for its intended use. Check existing or planned components and objects that could obstruct its movement. The actual installation setting is decisive: the outward-opening arrangement should suit both the built surroundings and the intended use of the window.

Add the selected glazing-bar layout to the same elevation that identifies the fixed pane and sash. This makes it easier to compare dimension and design information. If the opening is irregular or has special connection conditions, make this clear in the project description and sketch. Well-organised documentation separates building-opening dimensions, required overall window dimensions and published profile dimensions, helping us assess your enquiry accurately.

06

Colour, material and visual composition

Material, colour, glass areas and glazing bars work together to define the Kombi window’s appearance. Pine and oak come in timber-only or aluminium-clad versions. Keep the full material description because the cladding is paired with the selected timber species. Choose the version in response to your project’s interior view, exterior elevation and existing architecture.

A colour selection is available. Describe the required colour as precisely as possible and connect it with the chosen material version. Assess the intended colour from both inside and outside, and in relation to the architecture. A labelled schedule or elevation sketch is particularly helpful where several windows must fit an existing colour and façade scheme.

The relative sizes of the fixed pane and sash shape the overall elevation. An undivided fixed pane can read as one broad, quiet surface, while glazing bars bring finer structure to the sash. Similar divisions create a more regular composition; contrasting layouts shift the visual emphasis. Assess the effect on a simple façade elevation that also shows nearby lines, openings and building elements.

Handle choice contributes to the visible window and should remain separate from the hardware specification. Add the preferred handle to a concise project summary with the material, colour and glazing-bar layout. This helps show whether the choices follow one design direction. Black rubber seals make the technical glass joint; frame material, colour, glass area and glazing-bar pattern have the strongest effect on the overall appearance.

07

Comparing related product types purposefully

The Kombi side-hung window pairs a fixed pane with an outward-opening sash. If that format does not suit the intended opening, compare other window and door types in the range. Start with the essential project questions: is this for a façade or roof, should the element open inward or outward, and do you need one moving sash, two moving sashes or a terrace door? You can then compare materials, glazing and design across the suitable product types.

A pivot roof window with a bottom-mounted operating handle is available for roof openings. For an outward-opening façade, single- or double-sash windows with a vertical pivot axis offer alternatives to the fixed-pane-and-sash format. Like Kombi, they come in pine or oak, including aluminium-clad versions, with 2- or 3-pane insulating glazing. Glazing-bar layouts differ by product type.

For inward opening, choose a single- or double-sash window with tilt function. Both come in pine or oak, with optional aluminium cladding, and use 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. A separate inward-opening EI30 oak window with 2-pane insulating glass is available for fire-resistance needs. Establish the correct category from the intended opening action and use before choosing details.

Where the opening is intended for terrace access, consider an outward-opening single terrace door rather than a window. Both a regular version and a historic-style version are available. Depending on the model, named layouts include undivided glazing, horizontal or vertical glazing bars, and combinations of glazing with a panel. Beyond visual effect, compare whether your project requires an operable window or a full terrace access door.

Preparing your enquiry step by step

Start your enquiry with a short project description and confirm that you require an outward-opening Kombi window with a fixed pane and sash. Describe the intended installation situation and add a simple window elevation. Always state whether the drawing is viewed from inside or outside. This makes it possible to assess the required composition, opening direction and built surroundings together from the outset.

Then add the required manufacturing dimensions, keeping them clearly separate from building-opening dimensions and published profile measurements. A labelled sketch can bring together dimension lines, fixed pane, sash, internal and external faces, and viewing direction in one document. Use metric units consistently and avoid unlabelled individual values. Make any unusual features of the opening or adjacent components clear in the drawing or project description.

Next, nominate the complete material version: pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. Add the preferred colour and handle version as separate points. This keeps the frame construction, colour effect and operating component distinct. SPILKA and IPA hardware are technical product details and should not be confused with the available handle selection.

Next, state whether you want 2- or 3-pane insulating glass and copy the selected glazing-bar layout’s full name. Confirm that the fixed pane and sash in your sketch follow that pattern. If their divisions differ, show clearly which bars belong to each section. Identifying the viewing direction avoids confusion between interior and exterior elevations.

Finally, check that opening type, dimensions, material version, colour, glass build, glazing-bar layout and handle selection are complete and consistent. Ensure every drawing is labelled, and keep building-opening dimensions, required overall window dimensions and profile dimensions clearly separate. A structured enquiry gives us a clear view of your project and helps us configure the made-to-measure Kombi side-hung window for the intended opening.

Which material versions can I enquire about?

The Kombi side-hung window is available in pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. Include your preferred material version with the other project details in your enquiry.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes. Colour selection is one of the available configuration choices. As the intended effect depends on material, glazing-bar layout and surroundings, state your colour preference as clearly as possible with the selected material version.

Is there a choice of handle?

A handle choice is available. Include your preferred handle in the enquiry so it can be considered with material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar layout and dimensions. The stated hardware brands do not constitute a guaranteed choice of handle brand.

How long is the guarantee for the Kombi window?

The Kombi side-hung window has a five-year commercial guarantee, in addition to any rights available under Australian Consumer Law. Keep the order documents and full specification so its dimensions, material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar layout and handle are clearly recorded.

Can the fixed pane and sash have different divisions?

Yes. Available glazing-bar layouts can divide the fixed pane and sash differently. For example, an uninterrupted fixed pane may be combined with a sash divided by horizontal or vertical glazing bars. Select one of the listed layouts for this arrangement.

Is the Kombi window suitable for an individual building opening?

Made-to-measure production allows the window to be coordinated with the intended building opening. We need reliable opening dimensions and a clear description of the installation setting. Include the outward movement of the sash when planning.

Is aluminium cladding available with both pine and oak?

Both timber species are listed in versions with aluminium cladding. Do not specify only “aluminium”; also name the required timber species. This makes clear whether pine or oak forms the basis of your selection.

What should I do if a different opening type is required?

First confirm the required operating direction. This Kombi window opens outward. For other installation situations, compare inward-opening windows, outward-opening pivot windows or a pivot roof window. The deciding factors are installation location, opening direction and the number of moving sashes required.
