01

Operation and everyday use

Two side-hung sashes sit within one window unit and are designed to open outwards, directing their movement away from the room. This can be useful where the space directly inside the window is intended to remain unobstructed. Consider operation in relation to the actual room, rather than in theory alone. User height, handle position, frequency of use and nearby fittings can all affect how naturally the window works for you.

The handle choice lets you include this visible operating element in the design. It is both a point of contact and a visual detail: it can sit quietly within the overall look or create a deliberate contrast. SPILKA or IPA hardware is specified for the technical fit-out; handle selection is a separate design decision. If a particular shape, feel or visual effect matters to you, describe it as specifically as possible in your enquiry.

For comfortable day-to-day use, also consider who will mainly operate the window and when it will be opened. In a frequently used room, easy reach and an intuitive handle design may take priority. In a less often used space, visual integration may matter more. These considerations do not alter the technical product type, but help align the available purchase choices with everyday life.

As with any moving building element, careful use supports long-term performance. Use the sashes and handle without unnecessary force, and arrange a professional assessment if the movement changes. Cleaning and maintenance should suit the selected timber or timber-aluminium version. Match specific care products or work to the actual finish and installation situation rather than relying on general assumptions.

02

Construction, component sizes and technical details

The window is a two-sash, outward-opening side-hung type. Available material versions are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. Installation holes have a diameter of 14 mm. This measurement describes the intended holes as a construction detail and should be considered with the building structure and chosen connection during professional installation planning.

The outer frame is specified as 105 x 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame component measures 115 x 57 mm. The sash frame is 76 x 65 mm; with aluminium cladding, its component measurement is 86 x 65 mm. These are dimensions of the named frame components, not overall window depth, width or height. They do not replace the order size or checking the proposed building opening.

Choose either 2-pane or 3-pane insulating glass. Both constructions include a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm edge and argon gas fill. The glazing seals are black rubber. Allow for this dark detail when planning colours and materials, without assuming a black edge will be equally visible from every viewpoint.

The window is CE marked and comes with a 5-year commercial guarantee, in addition to applicable rights under Australian Consumer Law. Record the chosen material, exact size, glazing, glazing-bar design, colour and handle in your project files, keeping technical specifications distinct from personal design choices.

05

Assessing the proposed opening correctly

A made-to-measure window starts with a carefully assessed opening. Do not record only one dimension; check the building situation at several points. Existing openings can be uneven, and visible surfaces may not show the actual connection zone. Final order dimensions should therefore come from an appropriate professional measuring method. Photos and a sketch usefully supplement figures, but do not replace reliable measurement.

As the sashes open outwards, the required opening and movement area outside is a key planning point. Check whether reveals, balustrades, external shading, plants, hardware on other building elements or other obstructions could enter the movement zone. Future access for operation, care and cleaning should also suit the installation location. This must be assessed at the particular site; the product name alone cannot answer it.

Inside, the sill, wall linings and handle position may affect comfortable use even though the sash movement is outside. Also consider how the frame will connect to adjoining materials. Masonry, timber construction, cladding and remnants of existing frames may require different design solutions. The product is made to measure, but individual manufacture does not replace a suitable installation and connection concept.

If the window forms part of a row or articulated façade, also document reference heights and visible lines. Glazing bars, frame edges and neighbouring openings can only be coordinated deliberately when their positions are known. For replacement projects, overall views are often as useful as close photographs. For new builds, drawings can show the intended relationship.

Where any area is uncertain, have the survey and building structure checked by a qualified person. Then provide us with dependable dimensions and the key constraints. The more clearly the opening, connection and possible obstructions are described, the more precisely material, glazing and design decisions can be related to the project.

06

Material, colour and visual composition

The window is available in pine or oak, and both timber species can also be selected with aluminium cladding. This provides different material expressions for the design. Timber gives a natural material character, while aluminium cladding adds another external surface. The appropriate version depends on the desired relationship between interior, façade and adjoining building elements.

Available colours broaden the design scope. A colour can blend the window into a wall, coordinate with other building elements or create a deliberate accent. Avoid judging a small sample by itself. Compare the intended effect with the roof, façade, doors, visible metalwork and interior colour temperature; existing timber surfaces can also provide a useful reference.

Consider the glazing-bar layout, frame material and colour as one composition. A restrained colour scheme can calm a strongly divided glass area. Conversely, a contrasting colour can emphasise a simple design without bars. These are design possibilities, not guaranteed outcomes. Light, surroundings and viewing distance can change how proportions and colour transitions are perceived.

The handle also belongs to the visible overall design. Its form and appearance can relate to other handles or fittings in the building. State in your enquiry whether you prefer discreet integration or a deliberate design accent.

If you are weighing pine against oak, or exposed timber against a clad version, make a short list of priorities. Should the timber species set the tone indoors? Is a particular material relationship wanted outside? Must several windows look coordinated? Answers to these questions make the choice easier to explain. Bloomcabin can then consider your requirements as a complete brief rather than treating colour, material, glazing bars and handle separately.

Comparing related product types purposefully

For a meaningful comparison, first establish the function the opening must serve in the building. Important differences include the number of sashes, opening direction, movement type and whether a fixed glazed field should form part of the composition. Installation position also matters: a façade window, roof window and patio door serve different purposes. Compare product type first, then materials, glazing and design options.

The two outward-opening combination casement windows combine a fixed glazed field with one sash. Both are available in pine or oak with 2-pane or 3-pane insulating glass. In the regular combination version, both timber species can also have aluminium cladding; the historic-style version is offered in pine or oak. Various glazing-bar designs allow the fixed field and sash to be coordinated in either version.

For the roof, there is a centre-pivot window in pine with aluminium cladding. It has a bottom-mounted operating handle and 2-pane insulating glass with heat-reflective coating and argon fill. The single- and two-sash reversible windows with a vertical pivot axis also open outwards and are available in pine or oak, each with optional aluminium cladding. The inward-opening single-sash window adds a tilt function and uses Roto Frank hardware.

For direct access outdoors, compare the single-sash outward-opening patio doors. Both versions use SPILKA and ASSA hardware with 3-point locking and, depending on the version, are available with glazing and panel. The regular patio door is offered in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding. The historic-style patio door is available in pine or oak. Different glazing-bar and panel designs are available for visual coordination here as well.

Compare in a clear order. Start with installation position, product type and opening direction. Then establish whether you need one or two sashes, a fixed glazed field, a tilt function or a doorway. After that, compare the materials, glazing options and glazing-bar designs offered for each type. This keeps the choice focused not only on appearance, but also on intended use and building context.

Prepare your enquiry in clear steps

Start with a brief project description. State whether it is a new build, renovation or replacement of an existing window. Describe the room, façade situation and the role the window should play in the overall appearance. A concise, specific outline helps us more than a long collection of unrelated individual wishes.

Then gather dependable dimensions. Add photos, elevations or a simple sketch showing adjoining building elements. Identify which details have already been professionally checked and which remain at planning stage. This separates fixed requirements from open decisions without introducing assumptions into the information.

Next, choose the basic material version: pine, oak, or either option with aluminium cladding. Note the desired colour and what it should coordinate with. Where several windows or doors belong together, send an overall view if possible. This makes repeated lines and material relationships easier to identify.

Then select the available glazing construction and desired glazing-bar design. Use the full named design title for the pattern where possible. This avoids misunderstandings between horizontal and vertical divisions. State your handle preference separately. If only a certain visual effect matters to you, describe that too without assuming a particular handle version.

Finally, check whether the selections work together. Does the division suit the façade? Has the material effect inside and outside been considered? Are colour and handle intended as parts of the same composition? Have particular building constraints been identified? A final ranking of priorities helps where some wishes still need discussion. Tell us which points are essential and where you are open to joint consideration. With this organised basis, Bloomcabin can record your enquiry efficiently and focus on any remaining details.

Can the window be ordered to size?

Yes. The window is offered made to measure. Dimensions of the proposed opening and information about the installation situation are useful for an enquiry. If in doubt, arrange a professional site check so the order dimensions suit the actual building structure and planned connection.

Can I choose a colour?

Yes, colour selection is among the available purchase choices. Consider the timber species, any desired aluminium cladding, façade, interior and existing building elements. Tell us as clearly as possible what design effect you want to achieve inside and out.

Can I choose the window handle?

Yes, a handle choice is available. It concerns the visible operating element and should suit both the intended design and everyday handling. The named hardware brands are technical product details, rather than a separately guaranteed choice between manufacturers.

How long is the window guarantee valid?

The window has a 5-year guarantee. Keep the selected version, including size, material, glazing, glazing-bar design, colour and handle, in your order documents and retain the related paperwork.

What is the role of aluminium cladding?

Aluminium cladding is specified as an option for pine and oak. It changes the external material expression and the dimensions of the relevant frame components. Assess which version suits your project using the façade, colour scheme and desired material transitions.

How do I find a suitable glazing-bar design?

Choose glazing bars to suit the desired division, proportion and architectural relationship. A restrained layout may complement a calm façade; a detailed pattern may suit an existing elevation with stronger articulation. Judge the overall composition rather than the window in isolation.

What should I consider when cleaning?

Because the sashes move outwards, plan future cleaning from the outset. Check where the outside surfaces can be reached from and consider storey height and surroundings. Difficult-to-access installation locations benefit from a coordinated cleaning and access concept.

What information helps with a specific enquiry?

Opening dimensions, photos, sketches and a short project description are helpful. Add your preferences for timber species, aluminium cladding, colour, handle, glazing and glazing-bar design. Also note adjoining building elements or design requirements that should be considered when preparing the configuration.
