Using the pivot sash day to day

This window uses an outward-opening pivot sash, so the sash moves towards the exterior when opened. That direction clearly differs from windows that swing into the room. Keep its intended travel clear of objects and operate the sash in a controlled manner using the handle.

Open and close the window with an even, deliberate movement. Do not jerk, force or continue moving it when resistance is felt. First check whether an object is in the opening path or caught between sash and outer frame. Careful operation supports comfortable use of the moving components.

The handle is a visible part of the window that is used regularly. As a handle choice is available, it can form part of your planning. This is not only a visual decision: personal preferences for handling can also be considered. Selecting a handle does not alter the window’s defined identity as an outward-opening pivot sash.

When closing, ensure the sash can meet the frame without objects in between. The black rubber glazing seals are part of the specified construction and must not be used as a grip or pulling surface. Visible parts can be gently maintained with suitable methods where needed; avoid aggressive treatment or sharp tools on the frame, glass, seals and fittings.

How the outward movement fits daily use depends on the installation position. In a kitchen, the room remains free of an inward-swinging sash, but sufficient outdoor clearance is needed. In a study, desk placement, shelving and access to the handle can influence the layout. Assess the indoor operating area and the exterior swing space as one consideration.

02

Construction, components and technical dimensions

The construction combines pine with specialist insulating material. The outer frame has component dimensions of 105 × 57 mm, while the sash frame measures 90 × 65 mm. These figures describe individual frame components; they must not be read generally as the depth, width or height of the complete window. Finished external dimensions follow the made-to-measure request.

Installation holes of 14 mm are provided. This dimension relates to the fixing holes, not to the ordered window size or structural opening. Record the actual opening, required window size and intended building connection separately for installation planning. Clearly labelling dimensions makes discussion easier and avoids confusing component measurements with project measurements.

The window is fitted with SPILKA hardware. The handle is a selectable feature and can be specified to suit the desired design. State your handle preference separately from colour, window size and glazing-bar pattern in the enquiry. This keeps the preferred visible handle finish clear while the specified hardware and opening type remain correctly assigned.

The window is CE marked and carries a 5-year commercial guarantee. CE marking is part of the stated specification; the commercial guarantee does not exclude rights available under Australian Consumer Law. When comparing windows, record these details with the frame, glazing and opening type, keeping product features distinct from purchase terms.

Technical dimensions are most useful when read as part of the complete construction. Frame components, sash, glazing, seals, hardware and fixing holes each have a separate function. One dimension therefore does not automatically describe the whole installation situation. Made-to-measure sizing remains the key starting point, while component dimensions define the product’s fixed construction.

05

Assessing the proposed opening carefully

Before enquiring about the window, survey the intended structural opening carefully. Do not measure at just one point or rely on assumed nominal values. Measurements at different points can reveal variation within the opening. Record every figure clearly and identify what it refers to, so the opening size and required window size are not confused.

As made-to-measure manufacture is available, the actual opening provides the basis for size planning. Technical component dimensions do not replace this survey. Also consider the intended installation build-up and clarify the information needed for the building connection. Where a trade professional is involved, agree on the measuring method and dimension reference before making an enquiry.

The sash opens outwards. Allow sufficient clear exterior space for the planned pivot movement. Check for possible obstructions such as building projections, external equipment or other nearby elements. This assessment concerns the real movement zone at the proposed installation position, not the size of the interior room.

Handle accessibility should also be assessed. Furniture, deep benchtops or other internal elements may affect comfortable reach even though the sash opens outwards. Include these project-specific conditions early when positioning the window. The available handle choice can then be considered for the preferred use and visual design.

Review the opening together with your preferred glazing-bar arrangement. Because identical linework reads differently across window proportions, prepare a scale sketch to compare the horizontal and vertical bars with the window format and nearby building elements. Label the sketch with the window position, dimensions and complete name of the selected pattern.

06

Colour, linework and the overall visual composition

A colour choice is available for this Passive House Window, allowing the frame to be coordinated with your project’s colour scheme. Please state the preferred shade as clearly as possible so it can be recorded with size, handle and glazing-bar pattern. For several windows, identify colour by position, especially where different designs are planned within one project.

Colour never works in isolation. It relates to the glazed area, the visible frame proportions and the glazing-bar lines. A bar-free design may emphasise the frame differently from one with several horizontal and vertical divisions. Decide whether the shade should sit quietly within its setting or form a deliberate part of the façade composition.

The handle contributes to the window’s appearance. Because it is selectable, consider this detail alongside the frame colour and glazing-bar pattern. Describe your preferred handle precisely and, for a multi-window project, assign it to the correct position. These coordinated choices complement the fixed construction of the window and its outward-opening pivot sash.

Black rubber seals are part of the glazing and should not be confused with the selectable frame colour during colour planning. For a coherent design, the requested shade, handle version and glazing-bar linework are the key variables. Consider them with the glass area and window format so the made-to-measure window sits naturally in the façade and interior.

For a restrained appearance, you may prefer a bar-free design or one with only a horizontal or vertical glazing bar. For a more divided look, choose from the named compositions with several horizontal or vertical bars. A scale sketch showing the window format, colour and bar direction can help describe the intended overall result clearly.

Comparing suitable windows and doors for further openings

Where a project includes several openings, compare function, form, material and glazing. This Passive House Window combines an outward-opening pivot sash with pine, specialist insulating material and triple-glazed insulating glass. Fixed windows, other outward-opening window types or patio doors may better suit the intended use at other positions.

Fixed-glazing versions suit locations where an opening function is not required. The related range also includes round, semi-round, triangular and angled forms. Depending on the product type, pine or oak may be specified, sometimes with aluminium cladding; the choice between double-glazed or triple-glazed insulating glass also depends on the particular model. Check each opening against its associated product features.

Among other outward-opening windows, different sash concepts are available for comparison. The related pivot window and top-hung casement window are offered with SPILKA hardware, double-glazed or triple-glazed insulating glass, and choices of size, colour and handle. Pine, oak and aluminium-clad material versions offer further options where a project has different material or external-finish requirements.

For low-level or walk-through openings, the range includes outward-opening patio doors with a single leaf. The standard version uses pine or oak, with aluminium-clad variants, while the historical version uses pine or oak. Both types have SPILKA and ASSA hardware, 3-point locking, double-glazed or triple-glazed insulating glass and, where specified by the design, a panel.

Use the product pages below to compare opening action, form, material, glazing and design for each project position. Then decide whether each opening needs fixed glazing, an opening window or a patio door. This creates a clear selection in which every element is planned according to its own function and specification.

A clear enquiry in a few steps

Start by identifying the product precisely: “Super-Low Uw Passive House Window, outward opening”. The full title prevents confusion with other pivot windows, casement windows, fixed glazing or doors. If your project has several openings, give each position a short, clear identifier so dimensions and design requests remain assigned to the right location.

Next, compile the details needed for made-to-measure sizing. Record measured values with unambiguous labels and state whether they are surveyed opening dimensions or required product dimensions. Add notes on the installation situation and available external swing space. An organised table or position list is particularly useful when several windows in different formats are planned.

Choose one of the named glazing-bar patterns, using its full designation in your enquiry so horizontal and vertical bars are not confused. Give any accompanying sketch the same position label as the measurements. The drawing supports your written choice, but does not replace the unambiguous name of the specific requested pattern.

Record your colour preference and preferred handle version separately. This keeps the two visible choices distinct and allows each to be assigned clearly to a window position. Add the selected glazing-bar pattern and check that every design detail matches your sketch. SPILKA hardware and the outward-opening pivot-sash configuration form part of the fixed product construction.

Finally, review all information together: exact product name, position, dimensions, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle. Make sure names match across notes, drawings and the enquiry, and that every dimension has a clear reference. This final check reduces misunderstandings and provides a sound basis for further discussion. Identify any unresolved design wishes clearly and add them as separate questions to your enquiry.

Can the Passive House Window be ordered to measure?

Yes. The window is available made to measure. Your enquiry needs carefully surveyed dimensions for the intended opening. Also allow for the installation situation and the space required by the outward-moving pivot sash.

Can I choose a colour for the window?

Yes, colour is a selectable feature. A colour choice does not automatically include every possible finish, so please tell us your specific preferred shade. It can then be recorded clearly with the other project details.

Can I choose the handle?

Yes. The handle can be selected alongside size and colour. Please state the preferred handle version with the colour choice and required glazing-bar pattern. The window hardware is specified as SPILKA.

What is the frame made from?

Pine and specialist insulating material make up the frame. The outer-frame component measures 105 × 57 mm, and the sash-frame component measures 90 × 65 mm. These are not the finished size: the overall dimensions of the made-to-measure window are set separately for your project.

Which glazing-bar designs are available?

The options include a single sash without glazing bars and several patterns with horizontal and vertical bars. The selection extends from one horizontal or vertical bar to more strongly divided compositions. Use the full name of the chosen glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry so its number and orientation are recorded clearly.

What opening type does this window have?

The window has an outward-opening pivot sash. This describes the fixed opening type for this product. It is not the same as an inward-opening side-hung, tilt or tilt-and-turn window.

How is the glazing constructed?

The glazing is triple-glazed insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating, CHR warm edge and argon fill. Black rubber seals complete the specified glazing construction.

What should I prepare for my enquiry?

For a clear enquiry, provide opening dimensions, the chosen glazing-bar pattern, colour preference and preferred handle version. Add notes on the architectural context where useful. This allows the selected features to be considered together without contradiction.
