How the window works day to day

In the Kombi assembly, the sash is the moving element and swings to the outside; the adjoining glazed panel remains stationary. This straightforward division of roles suits an opening that needs both usable ventilation and a permanently fixed area of glass.

Keep the sash’s full outdoor swing clear. Exterior objects, neighbouring construction, reveals, railings and vegetation can all obstruct it. Consider that clearance early, together with the planned dimensions, installation position and practical access to the window.

Reach is another part of comfortable operation. Consider where a person will be positioned when using the handle and moving the sash. Access above a deep counter is different from access at an unobstructed wall opening. Record the preferred handle and describe any feature of the installation that could affect its use.

The fixed panel requires no operation and provides the visual counterpart to the moving sash. Depending on the selected pattern, it can remain unbroken or carry lines that relate to those on the sash. Treat sash clearance, handle reach and the visual coordination of the two glazed sections as separate planning points.

Check the exterior path before moving the sash, especially when plants or objects near the opening may have shifted.

Components, dimensions and hardware

The unit brings together a main frame, a framed moving sash and a stationary glazed section. Pine and oak are available, and the timber can be coordinated with the finish, handle, glazing bars and nearby building fabric. Hardware is by SPILKA and IPA.

The component measurements are 105 × 57 mm for the main-frame element and 76 × 65 mm for the sash-frame element. Mounting holes measure 14 mm. The product carries a 5-year warranty and is available with 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. These are component specifications, not the completed window’s full dimensions.

CE marking is provided for the window. In the inquiry, record the required size, timber species, colour, handle, glass and named bar pattern as separate selections. Also identify how the fixed panel and outward-swinging sash are positioned.

The frame-section measurements must not be copied across as the outside dimensions of the completed unit. The order size instead depends on the proposed building opening and the measurements submitted for the project. Keep opening measurements separate from the component specifications in your notes.

The fixed glazing and moving sash form a single window unit. Along with the overall requested size, show how the sections should be positioned. A simple sketch can label the fixed panel, sash, outward swing and reference viewpoint so the intended arrangement is clear.

05

Reviewing the intended building opening

A sound custom-size inquiry starts by surveying the proposed structural opening carefully. Measure at several points because established walls and older junctions may be uneven. Mark each measurement with its location and specify the side from which the sketch or written description is presented.

Inspect the area adjoining the opening too. Outside, the sash needs a clear route past overhangs, reveals, railings, plants and adjacent construction. Inside, note whether a sill, counter, furniture or built-in feature restricts comfortable access to the handle.

Record any surrounding construction that could affect the dimensions, including adjoining materials, finishes and the state of the opening. For replacement projects, document the existing installation separately from the requested new unit. Do not reuse measurements from the old window without checking them.

Show unambiguously which section is fixed and which contains the sash. Terms such as “left” or “right” can be misunderstood unless the viewing side is stated. Mark inside and outside, the outward swing and the selected bar layout on the sketch so every part of the inquiry uses the same reference.

This preliminary survey organizes the project information, but project-specific design and regulatory checks remain necessary. For a Canadian property, identify the province or territory and municipality first. Codes Canada at the National Research Council publishes national model codes, but publication alone does not establish which codes and regulations apply at a particular location. Confirm zoning, permits, structural design, energy requirements and heritage considerations with the municipal authority and an appropriate project professional. CE marking may be recorded as product information, but it should not be used to determine what the local authority requires.

Coordinating timber, colour and composition

Timber, panel proportions, glazing bars and finish work together to establish the window’s traditional appearance. Pine and oak are the available species. Consider either option in relation to the building’s character and its visible joinery, then coordinate the colour, handle and bar pattern within the overall design.

The finish colour can also be selected. It may allow the frame to settle into the surrounding façade or make its divisions more pronounced. On renovation work, cladding, exposed materials and existing joinery can guide the decision; on a new project, the window can be incorporated into the broader material palette. Include the exact colour request in the inquiry.

Kombi construction unites a stationary glazed section and an operating sash. The bars can distinguish their functions or carry related lines across both sections. An undivided fixed pane beside a barred sash emphasizes the moving element, while aligned vertical or crossed divisions create a closer visual connection. Choose only from the established layouts.

Black rubber gaskets form the glass seal. Much of the visible character comes from the timber surface, frame colour and bar layout, while the fittings are from SPILKA and IPA. A handle can also be selected. Record that item separately so the equipment and appearance choices are easy to verify.

Begin by describing the desired overall effect: calm, more finely divided, aligned with existing joinery or deliberately independent. Then select the corresponding named bar pattern and add the timber species, colour and preferred handle. This approach gives every visible choice a clear role.

Comparing other window styles and patio-door models

The Kombi arrangement places a stationary glazed panel beside an outward-swinging sash. For comparisons, begin with opening direction, operating method, number of sashes and intended use. Then review each related product’s timber, glass, bars and hardware before choosing dimensions, colour or handle.

Other outward-swinging options include single-sash and double-sash vertical-axis pivot windows. The related range also has inward-opening, tilt-function windows in single-sash and double-sash forms. Compare their required clearance and operable sections with the Kombi model’s fixed-and-moving arrangement.

If EI30 classification forms part of the project brief, review the separate inward-opening fire window and the outward-swinging fire pivot window. Both related models are made of oak, and their double-pane insulating glass has heat-reflective coating. Assess each against the project specification because this Kombi window is not offered with EI30 classification.

For an opening intended as an exterior passage, compare the single-leaf patio doors that swing outward. The range includes a general version and a heritage-style version. Each is offered in pine or oak with double- or triple-pane insulating glass, and some configurations incorporate panels. Aluminium-clad timber variants are also available for the general patio-door model.

Building a complete product inquiry

Name the required model as the heritage-style Kombi casement window. Include a drawing that marks the reference side, the exterior, the stationary panel, the sash and its outward movement. Add measurements taken at several locations and label each position, keeping the surveyed opening data distinct from the requested window size.

Select one named glazing-bar layout. Rather than writing only “with glazing bars,” list the horizontal and vertical members assigned to the fixed panel and to the sash. Make sure the sketch and written specification show the same pattern.

Enter each remaining selection on its own line: pine or oak, colour, insulating-glass construction and handle. Where a decision is still open, label it as undecided instead of presenting incompatible alternatives without explanation.

Provide site details only where they clarify the inquiry, such as unusual opening geometry, adjoining building elements or limited handle access. Keep observed site conditions separate from any resulting product or construction decision. Dimensions and building responses require their own assessment.

Before submitting the inquiry, check that every note and drawing follows one viewpoint. The fixed panel and sash should be labelled, and the dimensions, bar pattern, timber, colour, glazing and handle should all be covered. A short, consistently structured request is more useful for discussing the custom Kombi window than a lengthy account that uses conflicting terms.

Can the dimensions of the Kombi casement window be customized?

Yes. Its dimensions are tailored to the order. Measure the proposed opening in several places and describe any unusual junction, finish or adjacent feature that could affect the request.

What timber choices are offered?

Pine and oak are available. Choose between them by considering the intended appearance, nearby building materials and your own preference.

Is a custom colour available?

Yes. A finish colour can be selected. Use the façade, neighbouring windows and doors, cladding and visible woodwork as design references, and state the requested colour in the inquiry.

What insulating-glass options can be specified?

Choose double- or triple-pane insulating glass. Both constructions include argon gas, warm-edge construction and heat-reflective coating. Add the preferred specification to the other configuration details.

What identifies the window as a “Kombi” design?

“Kombi” describes the pairing of a stationary glazed panel with an outward-swinging sash. The chosen named pattern then determines whether the panes remain clear or are divided with vertical and horizontal glazing bars.

Does the range include several glazing-bar designs?

Yes. The catalogue provides defined patterns ranging from completely bar-free panes to layouts that assign vertical and horizontal bars to the two sections in different ways. The design section above sets out each available arrangement.

Can I select the handle?

Yes. A handle selection is included among the configuration options. Add the preferred handle to the inquiry alongside the dimensions, timber, colour, glass and glazing-bar pattern.

How long is the commercial warranty for this Kombi window?

The commercial warranty stated for the Kombi casement window is five years. Include the exact product name and configuration so the inquiry clearly identifies the requested dimensions, timber, colour, glass, handle and bar pattern.
