Operation and everyday use

A pivoting sash provides the window's movement. The handle remains at the bottom as the operating point for this model. Choosing another handle changes the component's style, not its lower position on the sash. Account for that arrangement when deciding the installation height and how the room will be used.

Ease of reaching the bottom-mounted handle depends on the actual installation setting. Ceiling height, window position, internal linings and items placed in front of it can all matter. Consider who will use the window regularly and whether the intended operating point can be reached comfortably in daily use. This information complements the opening dimensions and helps you describe your requirements clearly.

The available handle choices allow the operating component to become part of the overall design. Depending on the room concept, you may prefer an understated handle or one intended as a visible detail. Include the desired effect and colour preference in your enquiry. We can compare these details with the handle styles offered for this pivot roof window.

For routine use, operate the sash and handle only as intended and avoid placing unnecessary loads on the operating component. Match cleaning methods to pine, aluminium cladding, glass and rubber seals. Gentle care protects the different surfaces and avoids unsuitable products affecting seals or visible components. Size, colour and handle can be selected separately to suit your project.

02

Construction, materials and component dimensions

Pine and aluminium cladding make up the construction. The fixed frame component is 87 × 36 mm, while the aluminium-clad sash frame component is 97 × 40 mm. These figures apply only to their respective frame parts; they are not the complete window's depth, width or height and do not replace the opening dimensions.

The glazing is double insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating and argon fill, sealed with black rubber. The selectable window colour applies to the ordered finish; it does not change the black rubber seals, which are fixed elements of the glazing assembly.

This pivot roof window carries a five-year guarantee and is CE marked. Together with the details of its materials, glazing and frame components, this provides a clear basis for product comparison. Keep your order documentation so the chosen version and its associated details can be identified clearly later.

When planning, do not confuse the frame component dimensions with the order size of the complete window. The 87 × 36 mm figure belongs to the fixed frame, while 97 × 40 mm describes the aluminium-clad sash frame. Clearly assigned project dimensions are instead decisive for made-to-measure production. Label dimensions so opening size, required window size and frame figures remain distinct.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Made-to-measure production starts with an opening that is described unambiguously. Record more than individual distances: also establish exactly where each measuring point is located. Unclear information can cause component dimensions, opening dimensions and the required window size to be confused. State whether each figure refers to the existing structural opening or the desired overall window size. The frame figures given above are component dimensions and must not be used instead.

Review the shape and condition of the proposed installation area. Mention any edges that appear out of parallel or unusual features in the existing structure, as one measurement cannot capture every variation. Sketches or photos can explain the context, but do not replace careful measurement or clear identification of each required dimension.

The opening area also includes the space needed by the pivoting sash during operation. Check whether fixed components, furniture, linings or other items could obstruct its intended movement. Also consider whether the bottom-mounted handle will be sensibly reachable in the planned position. Include these points alongside the opening dimensions in your planning.

Take account of transitions to internal linings, junctions and adjacent components as well. Their position can affect which reference points are useful for dimensions and how much space remains around the pivoting sash and lower operating handle. Show existing or planned elements in your sketch so the construction situation is understandable in the enquiry.

Finish by organising your findings into a labelled schedule that identifies every measuring point, unit and corresponding part of the window. Where a detail remains uncertain, frame it as a question rather than presenting an estimate as fact. This gives the made-to-measure enquiry a clear basis while keeping project measurements separate from frame-component dimensions.

Coordinating colour and visual composition

Pine with aluminium cladding forms the window construction. For the visible finish, choose from the colours available for this product. Tell us your preferred colour direction and provide any relevant project references. We can then check that request against the colour options offered for the pivot roof window.

View the window with neighbouring surfaces, existing timber components and other visible elements. Describe both the intended colour direction and the visual objective clearly. We can then compare your brief with the colours offered for this pivot roof window.

The handle can also be included as a visible detail in the colour and materials concept. Decide whether it should blend quietly into the window view or act as a deliberate accent. Describe this preference with your colour request; the specific handle version is then selected from the available choices. Its position remains at the bottom of the pivoting sash.

Black rubber seals are fixed parts of the glazing, whereas window colour and handle are design choices. Consider them together without assuming they serve the same visual purpose. Likewise, the heat-reflective coating belongs to the glass specification rather than the colour selection. Coordination therefore centres on the available finish and handle version.

A cohesive result begins with a clear priority: should the pivot roof window blend quietly into the surrounding design or stand out as a deliberate feature? Use your answer to describe the preferred colour and intended handle effect more precisely. Record these preferences with the design designation so all visible decisions remain connected and easy to follow.

Placing related window and door types

The related range includes windows and terrace doors for different openings and operating concepts. For an initial selection, first consider the installation location, opening direction and number of sashes required. You can then compare materials, glazing and design. This keeps the pivot roof window clearly defined for the planned roof opening, while other product types are matched to their own purpose.

Façade choices include single- and double-sash windows that open inwards and have a tilt function, plus a double-sash reversible window opening outwards around a vertical pivot axis. These mechanisms differ from the roof window's pivot action and must suit the installation. Each related window can be requested with choices for size, colour and handle.

The range also includes windows explicitly designated EI30: an inward-opening fire window and an outward-opening fire pivot window. Both are made from oak and have double insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating. If an EI30 classification is relevant to your project, select the product type designated accordingly and treat it separately from the pivot roof window presented here.

Another option is an outward-opening passive house window with triple insulating glass. For terrace access, compare an outward-opening single terrace door with a corresponding historic-style version. Depending on the design, the doors offer glazed versions, glazing-bar arrangements and panelled designs. First establish the required window or door function for each opening.

Use the related products below as starting points for additional openings in your project. Compare every item according to its own operation, materials, glazing and design options. When requesting several product types together, assign a separate entry to each opening with its size, colour and handle preference. This keeps requirements clear even in more extensive projects. Outward-opening double-sash reversible window with vertical pivot axis, Inward-opening single-sash window, Inward-opening double-sash window, EI30 inward-opening fire window, EI30 outward-opening fire pivot window, Super Low Uw outward-opening passive house window, Outward-opening single terrace door, Historic-style outward-opening single terrace door.

Preparing your enquiry in a few steps

Open your enquiry with the full designation RAS Pivot Roof Window and link it to the relevant roof opening. This is especially useful when the project includes other windows or doors. Give each opening a short identifier so its dimensions and design choices stay attached to the correct item.

Next, add the details for made-to-measure production. Refer to the dimension schedule you prepared earlier and mention identifiable features of the intended opening. Add outstanding points as specific questions so the enquiry can be assessed completely and unambiguously.

State your colour preference precisely, using a colour direction or nearby materials as references. We will check it against the colours available for this pivot roof window. Pine and aluminium cladding define the construction; your chosen colour should therefore be listed separately.

Add your handle preference and, if needed, describe the visual effect you want. We will compare your information with the available handle selection. The fixed operating-handle position at the lower part of the sash is not changed by this choice.

Before sending the enquiry, confirm that the RAS Pivot Roof Window designation, opening reference, dimensions, colour and handle choices are all included. Add notable construction details and mark unresolved matters as questions. List each additional window or door separately, keeping project information distinct from the requested product version.

Can the pivot roof window be made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure production is one of the available options. Send us the established dimensions of the intended opening so the required version can be requested unambiguously. The final assessment should always be based on the specific installation situation.

What colour can I choose for the window?

A colour selection is available for the pivot roof window. In your enquiry, state the preferred colour direction or a suitable reference from your project. We will compare your preference with the colours offered for this window version. Construction, black glazing seals and window colour are treated as separate features.

Is there a choice of operating handle?

Handle style is one of the available choices, but the operating handle remains at the bottom of this window type. Add your preferred handle, colour and size to the enquiry without changing that operating position.

What glazing does the pivot roof window have?

The window has double insulating glazing. Its glass construction includes a heat-reflective coating and argon gas fill. Black rubber is used for the glazing seals. This specification is separate from the selectable window colour and handle version.

Is the pivot roof window CE marked?

Yes, the pivot roof window is CE marked. This marking is one of the specified product details, together with pine and aluminium cladding and double insulating glazing.

What component dimensions are specified for the frames?

The fixed frame component measures 87 × 36 mm; the aluminium-clad sash frame measures 97 × 40 mm. These are component figures only, not the overall dimensions or order size of the made-to-measure pivot roof window.

How long is the guarantee for the pivot roof window?

The pivot roof window has a five-year guarantee. Keep the order documents with details of size, colour and handle so the selected version remains clearly documented.

What details help with a specific enquiry?

Useful details include the dimensions of the intended opening, information about the construction situation, and your preferences for colour and handle. Photos can support the description, but they do not replace careful measurement or a project-specific assessment of the installation situation.
