01

Using and caring for the window

A single sash provides both operating motions. In turn mode, it swings inward for a wide opening; in tilt mode, only the upper edge moves away from the frame. The shared mechanism provides both functions without requiring separate window elements.

Move the handle deliberately into the required setting, guide the sash steadily and complete that action before selecting another setting. Since the handle is a customer choice, consider grip comfort together with its appearance beside the oak frame and selected finish.

Because the sash travels toward the interior, its operating zone is entirely inside the room. Confirm convenient access to the handle and keep furnishings or loose objects clear of the moving sash. The clearance review later in this guide considers the room layout in greater detail.

Use care methods suited to each visible material. Glass, finished oak, silicone seals, hardware and the handle may not tolerate the same products, so avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners unless the applicable care instructions expressly allow them. Treating each component appropriately helps maintain the complete window assembly.

Components and measurement references

Oak forms the window structure. The fixed outer-frame component and the sash-frame component are each specified as 82 × 90 mm. These are component cross-sections, not the overall width and height of the completed window or an order size for the rough opening. The finished dimensions are set for the individual custom project.

Mounting bores are specified as 14 mm, and Roto Frank supplies the hardware. The brand identifies the fitted hardware rather than an additional customer selection. Oak is likewise the fixed timber for this version; neither detail should be confused with the available colour, handle or sizing choices.

The specified build includes an insulating glass unit with two panes, a heat-reflective coating and silicone seals. This CE-marked oak EI30 window also has Roto Frank hardware and a five-year product warranty. Keep the 82 × 90 mm frame data and 14 mm mounting-bore value identified as component information. For installation in Canada, give the available EI30 and CE documentation to the project professional and authority having jurisdiction so they can assess the proposed assembly against the requirements applicable at the site.

Avoid deriving a supposed finished size from the frame-component data. Instead, place site dimensions on a labelled sketch or schedule and define the reference points for every value. Separating site records from factory data is especially useful when several openings appear in one enquiry.

Present fixed construction and customer decisions in separate groups. Oak, Roto Frank hardware, silicone seals and the coated two-pane glass belong to the stated product build. Project dimensions, colour and handle are selected for the order. This structure makes the enquiry easier to interpret.

Reviewing the opening and room-side space

A tilt-and-turn sash travelling into the room requires a three-dimensional site review. Give every measurement clear reference points. The 82 × 90 mm frame-component data cannot substitute for site measurements and does not represent the custom unit’s overall exterior size.

Plot the full swing zone inside the room. Sills, reveals, radiators, fittings, furniture and curtains can all affect operation. Mark such features on the plan or sketch so the assessment reflects the real interior setting as well as the exterior elevation.

Consider the normal operating position and confirm that the selected one- or two-sash design leaves the handle easy to use. Tilt mode also requires free space beside the upper portion of the sash. An exterior composition can look suitable while still conflicting with the room arrangement.

Existing openings may contain uneven edges, changing measurement planes or different conditions on the interior and exterior faces. Identify each measuring point on a labelled sketch. Photographs are useful for spatial context, but dimensional records must still be supplied.

Compare the chosen sash division with the verified operating space before finalizing colour and handle. If the opening geometry, measurements or adjacent construction are unclear, obtain a site-specific professional assessment before using any value as a final project dimension.

Bringing oak, colour and proportions together

Oak is the specified timber, while the visible finish colour is selectable. State the requested colour clearly; surrounding photographs, screen displays and a broad request to match the façade may not identify it accurately.

Start the visual review with the wall, glazing, frame and sash division. Consider the handle after those larger relationships are clear. This is simply a useful planning order, not a design rule, and it prevents one small component from determining the entire composition.

The selectable handle affects both operation and appearance. Decide whether it should stand apart from the frame or sit quietly within the colour scheme, and record that preference explicitly with the other order details.

Two sashes create more visible frame divisions than one, which can change how the same colour reads. A pronounced finish may draw attention to those lines; a restrained finish may connect them more closely with the surrounding architecture. Judge sash count and colour in combination.

If several differently shaped openings share a façade, draw them together to review alignment, spacing and repeated frame lines. Visual coordination does not require identical technical construction. Specify the finish and handle for this fire window independently from choices made for neighbouring units.

Comparing the related window and door types

Begin by defining the function and movement needed at every opening. This oak EI30 model has a tilt-and-turn sash that moves into the room. Other families include windows opening outward, combination units, fixed-glazed shapes and patio doors with a single leaf; treat each as a separate item in the project schedule.

The Passive House Super Low Uw model differs in opening direction, sash action, timber, glazing and frame construction. Combination windows offer other timber choices, some aluminium-clad versions and mixed configurations within one unit. Refer to the details published for each model instead of assigning those features to this EI30 window.

A fixed-glazed unit cannot be operated. Comparison shapes include rectangular, round, semi-round, triangular and raked forms. Depending on the model, pine, oak or aluminium-clad construction may be used, and its frame and glazing data will differ from the EI30 product described here.

The terrace-door range contains standard and historic-style models with one outward-moving leaf. Both can be custom-sized and ordered with selected colours and handles, but each has distinct door hardware, glazing options and design details. List every door and window under its complete product name.

When reviewing alternatives, compare movement, frame material, glazing and selectable details. Colour can create a visual relationship among several products, but dimensions and technical data must be documented for each item. Other options are: Passive House Super Low Uw window, opening outward, Combination window unit, Window with fixed glazing, Circular window with fixed glazing, Semi-circular window with fixed glazing, Triangular or raked window with fixed glazing, Outward-opening patio door with a single leaf, Historic-style outward-opening patio door with a single leaf.

Preparing a useful project enquiry

Use the name “inward-opening EI30 fire window” and record whether every position needs one sash or two. For multiple windows, assign a short reference to each opening and repeat it on the enquiry, drawings and measurement notes.

Next, compile the site measurements with labelled endpoints and reference planes. Keep them distinct from the dimensions assigned to factory components. A sketch carrying the same opening references gives the figures context that an unlabelled number sequence cannot provide.

Describe the required colour precisely enough for confirmation; photographs and display images alone are unreliable colour references. Enter the preferred handle as its own selection. Both choices should be stated directly rather than derived from a general style description.

Prepare a separate summary for every opening, listing its product name, sash format, project dimensions, colour and handle. Place unusual site conditions and questions in a dedicated notes area. If the project also uses other product families, document their features under their respective names.

Check the final enquiry for consistent terms. “Fixed outer frame,” “sash frame,” “project dimension” and “sash arrangement” refer to different information. Clear labels keep fixed construction data apart from genuine order choices and support a focused product discussion.

Is made-to-measure sizing available?

Yes. The window can be custom-sized. Provide carefully documented project dimensions and the required sash format. The stated frame measurements describe individual components, not the completed dimensions of the ordered window.

Which timber is used?

Oak is the specified frame material. Consider its visible character together with the selected colour, surrounding wall surfaces and adjacent building elements.

Is the finish colour selectable?

Yes. State the requested project colour clearly in the enquiry so it can be recorded and verified without depending on reference images.

May I specify the handle?

Yes. Specify the handle together with the custom dimensions, colour and one- or two-sash format. Consider both operating comfort and how it appears beside the oak frame.

Does this product carry a CE mark?

Yes. This oak EI30 window is CE marked. Use the full product name in the enquiry and connect every dimension, sash format, colour and handle choice to the correct opening reference.

What is the commercial warranty period?

The stated commercial warranty for this product lasts five years. It describes the product warranty, not provincial or territorial consumer rights. Keep the order details and opening references so the particular window can be identified during a warranty enquiry.

Which glazing and seals are supplied?

The glazing is an insulating unit with two panes and a heat-reflective coating. Silicone seals secure the glazing within the surrounding construction.

Can I order one or two sashes?

Yes. Select one inward-opening sash or a two-sash EI30 configuration. Compare the available indoor operating space, project dimensions and desired façade composition before choosing.
