Fixed-Glazed Windows

A closed expanse of glass for a coordinated design

Fixed Window

Specify a custom-sized fixed window in pine or oak, with aluminium cladding offered for either timber. Select the colour, insulating-glass construction and one of the named glazing-bar arrangements for the project. This element stays closed permanently and has no operable sash.

Function

Permanently fixed and non-opening

Material

Timber, with optional aluminium cladding

Glazing

Coated insulating glass with argon fill

Configuration

Made to measure with selectable colour

01

Understanding its everyday function

The window is fixed: it cannot swing, tilt or turn. Its glazing stays shut in normal use and does not form a controllable opening. Decide at the start whether this part of the project is meant solely for fixed glazing. Where regular airflow or a usable passage is necessary, assign that role to an appropriate opening window or door rather than expecting this unit to perform it.

A design containing several window elements may use the fixed unit for one purpose and a separately selected product for opening. Show those roles independently on the drawing. Mark the fixed positions as permanently closed, then identify every operable item by its own product title and action. This approach keeps a shared elevation understandable: neighbouring elements may look coordinated without having matching construction or operation.

Plan how the glass, frame and gasket surfaces will be reached for cleaning and maintenance after installation. Consider access to both faces and the unit’s actual location within the opening. Confirm its non-opening role before settling the timber, colour and bar pattern, since decorative decisions cannot supply missing ventilation or passage. Any opening elements required by the project should remain separate, clearly labelled entries in the plans and schedule.

02

Construction data and component measurements

Attach each numerical specification to the component it describes. The outer-frame profile is 105 × 57 mm, while the aluminium-clad version has an outer-frame profile of 115 × 57 mm. These figures describe the frame section; they are not the finished width and height of the window or the size of the building opening. Mounting holes are specified at 14 mm. Keep the requested product dimensions, opening measurements, junction details and profile data under separate headings.

Insulating glazing is offered in 2-pane and 3-pane constructions. Both are described with heat-reflective coating, CHR warm-edge spacing and argon fill. Black rubber is used for the glazing gaskets. The unit is CE marked and comes with a five-year commercial warranty. These are characteristics of the offered window, not an assessment of the wall, installation junctions or conditions at a particular property. Identify the required glazing construction explicitly in the enquiry.

Choose the timber species first: pine or oak. Either can remain unclad or receive aluminium cladding, giving four material versions. The cladding covers timber; this specification does not turn the product into a solid aluminium window. The finished unit can be sized for the project. Profile sections and mounting-hole measurements, however, describe individual components. Keep those component figures separate from the overall dimensions and the measurements taken at the building opening.

05

Recording the opening and dimensions clearly

Begin with the actual building opening instead of an estimated window size. Measure at several appropriate points and label what every figure represents. Keep opening dimensions distinct from the desired product dimensions. Because the window is made to measure, the basis for each value must be unmistakable. Never substitute the frame-profile figures from the technical section for the finished outside size. Use consistent terms across the drawing, measurement schedule and written notes.

Show exactly where the fixed element belongs in the project. If several windows or doors form one elevation, assign each a unique identifier and attach every measurement to the correct item. Record intended relationships with adjoining construction—such as aligned head or side lines—separately from product dimensions. A straightforward sketch marked top, bottom, left and right provides a useful reference for location and orientation.

Include the existing construction and proposed junction when the opening is assessed. Check that the recorded measurements correspond to the intended window position, then have the installation conditions reviewed for the particular project. Document each unit on its own before transferring its labelled dimensions to a combined elevation. Reconcile revised drawings with the measurement schedule before submitting the enquiry. In Canada, approval and technical requirements depend on the province or territory, municipality, building type and work involved; verify locally whether permits, energy checks, safety glazing, ventilation, egress or other design requirements apply.

06

Coordinating timber, colour and design

First select pine or oak, then state whether the chosen timber should have aluminium cladding. The four resulting versions are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. This order prevents the cladding from being mistaken for an independent solid material. Where a project contains other windows or doors, give the entire material description for every element; matching colour alone does not identify timber species or cladding.

Frame colour is another purchasing decision. Consider it alongside the material version and glazing-bar design, but record each choice independently. An uninterrupted pane and the horizontal, vertical or combined arrangements already differ by their catalogue names. When extending an existing window group, note which visual features are intended to coordinate. State the selected colour and material explicitly rather than asking a photograph to carry the specification.

For several elements, prepare a schedule showing the product title, material version, colour and bar arrangement at each labelled location. A fixed window has no opening direction, so place it within the elevation through drawing references and alignment information instead. Check that repeated designs use the same complete option name. Mark deliberate variations directly at the affected positions so they are not interpreted as accidental inconsistencies.

07

Related fixed shapes and opening products

Projects requiring another fixed-glazing shape can consider the “Half-Round Fixed Window” or “Triangular and Sloping Fixed Window” as separate alternatives. Their titles likewise indicate closed, non-opening units, but their remaining specifications should not be inferred from this rectangular product. Compare each option independently and use its precise title in the enquiry.

If an opening action is needed, separately catalogued outward-opening choices include pivot, top-hung and single side-hung windows. Select the product according to the required function and configure it independently. Placing an operable window next to fixed glazing does not make the fixed section operable. Give every component its own product name, drawing position and set of selections.

Related products also include outward-opening single-leaf patio doors and specifically named heritage-style windows and doors. These may be relevant where the design requires passage or that stated traditional appearance instead of a wholly fixed glazed area. In a mixed request, maintain a separate title, location and configuration for every item so that door and window functions remain clear. Related products are:

Half-Round Fixed Window, Triangular and Sloping Fixed Window, Pivot Window — Opens Outward, Top-Hung Window — Opens Outward, Single Side-Hung Window — Opens Outward, Heritage-Style Single Side-Hung Window — Opens Outward, Single-Leaf Patio Door — Opens Outward, Heritage-Style Single-Leaf Patio Door — Opens Outward.

Assembling a clear, complete enquiry

Open with a short explanation of the project and identify the requested item as a “Fixed Window”. Add a labelled sketch if it will clarify the element’s location or orientation. Place the desired measurement beside the unit and explain its reference. Use one identifier consistently in the sketch, dimension schedule and notes. For a multi-unit design, document each window or door separately before showing the combined elevation.

Then record pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak, followed by the selected colour. Give the 2-pane or 3-pane insulating-glass construction its own entry. Copy the full glazing-bar option name, retaining “glass-dividing” wherever it forms part of the designation. Review each labelled position individually instead of applying one unstated choice across every window. Each combination should point unmistakably to the intended fixed unit.

Finish with an ordered check: product title, position, orientation, dimensional reference, full material version, colour, glass construction and bar arrangement. Confirm that other windows and doors remain separate products and that the same identifiers appear in the text and drawings. Bloomcabin can then review whether the fixed-window configuration is described consistently and identify any details that still need clarification.

Can I order project-specific dimensions?

Yes. Dimensions can be set for the intended project. State what each measurement refers to and describe the installation setting in the enquiry. The outer-frame profile figures are component specifications, not the dimensions of the proposed building opening.

Which insulating-glass versions are offered?

The choice is between 2-pane and 3-pane insulating glazing. Both specifications include heat-reflective coating, CHR warm-edge spacing and argon fill. Record the selected construction against each window element rather than relying on a general project note.

What material versions are available?

Available versions are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. Include the complete selection in the enquiry so the timber species and cladding treatment are both assigned correctly.

Is there a choice of window colour?

Yes. Select the frame colour during configuration and state it alongside the full material version. Black rubber refers only to the glazing gaskets; it neither chooses nor replaces the separate colour selection for the window.

Does every glazing-bar option divide the glass?

No. The catalogue differentiates decorative arrangements from versions specifically named glass-dividing. If a true glass division is required, reproduce the applicable option’s complete designation in the enquiry.

Is CE marking specified?

Yes. The product specification lists CE marking. This does not replace assessment of the opening, junctions, energy performance, safety requirements or other conditions that apply at the Canadian property.

Can it provide ventilation or function as an exit?

No. This fixed glazing remains closed, so it cannot act as an operable ventilation opening or a usable exit.

How do I select a glazing-bar arrangement?

First decide whether the pane should remain uninterrupted, have bars in one direction or use both horizontal and vertical lines. Then read the full option name to determine whether the selected construction is expressly identified as glass-dividing.

Describe your fixed window precisely

Gather the opening measurements, requested unit size, timber and cladding version, colour, glass construction and bar arrangement. Add a labelled sketch when it helps establish the position. Bloomcabin can review the information with you and identify anything that needs clarification before the configuration is finalized.
