01

Room clearance for inward opening and tilt

Operation is fixed for this model: two sashes travel into the interior and a tilt setting is included. It is not the outward-opening alternative. Full opening requires room on the interior side, while tilt holds the sash in its designed inclined position. Use whichever setting suits the immediate activity in the room.

Examine the interior clearance first. A sill, faucet, furnishing, curtain, light fixture or other fitting could obstruct the sash path. Maximum travel is only part of the assessment: the handle should remain accessible and the preferred setting usable when a counter or furniture is close by. Because the unit is custom-sized, its proposed dimensions can be assessed against the actual room, including nearby circulation routes and workspaces.

Using two sashes also gives the glazing a distinct visual division. The result differs from a single operable sash and from a completely fixed unit. Consider function and composition together. This format is appropriate when both sashes are intended to open; another window type may be preferable if no opening action is needed or if a different direction is required.

02

Wood choices, aluminum cladding and frame profiles

Four constructions are offered. Pine and oak are the wood choices, and each has an aluminum-clad alternative. Choose the species and then decide whether cladding belongs in the specification. The selection changes both the visible finish and the applicable frame-profile measurement, so coordinate it with the colour, glazing and layout.

For an all-wood unit, the stated outer-frame profile is 82 × 78 mm; adding aluminum cladding changes it to 82 × 88 mm. The sash-frame profiles have the corresponding dimensions of 82 × 78 mm and 82 × 88 mm. Record the selected construction to identify the applicable profile. Although both frame components share these dimensions, they remain separate parts. None of these profile measurements replaces the custom overall width and height required for the order.

Other catalogue details include Roto Frank hardware, mounting holes with a 14 mm diameter and CE marking. Project selections cover the window dimensions, wood, colour, handle and glazing option. A five-year Bloomcabin warranty applies to windows and doors. Keeping the specifications with the correct model helps prevent details from another window type being used by mistake.

05

Custom dimensions and room-side planning

Assign the width and height clearly, and label each unit when the project contains more than one window. Record the installation location, neighbouring construction and interior clearance for the sashes. Frame-profile dimensions and overall order dimensions serve different purposes and should not be confused. Add the wood and cladding choice to every required size. For a Canadian address, confirm which code the province or territory has adopted and ask the municipality about approval requirements for that property. Publication of a federal model code does not, by itself, make it the governing code at every Canadian site.

Reserve interior clearance before finalizing the surrounding room design. The space needed varies with the custom window dimensions and adjacent objects. A sill, vanity, counter or other fitting near the opening may affect access. Blinds, curtains, plants and movable furnishings should also be checked against both the full inward swing and the tilt setting. This early review helps align the room arrangement with the intended window operation.

For a pattern containing fixed glass, describe the division alongside the overall dimensions. Specific wording is clearer than simply saying “multi-part” or “with glazing bars.” Indicate whether the request is for two sashes only, a design with one fixed section, the named central-fixed pattern or an arrangement containing two fixed sections. That detail helps Bloomcabin assess the made-to-order configuration with fewer follow-up questions.

06

Coordinating the colour, handle and pattern

A colour and a handle can each be selected. Consider how they relate to the specified pine or oak and to any aluminum surface. Look from outside the building and from within the room, comparing nearby entrances, windows, wall treatments and recurring hardware finishes. Decorative bars affect how substantial a frame appears, so include the pattern in this visual review. When specifying several windows, assign each finish and handle explicitly to its own opening.

Use the bar arrangement to establish the visual divisions you want across the opening. Two plain sashes create a different rhythm from versions with one or two horizontal lines. Some layouts incorporating fixed glass also add vertical divisions. Name both the number and direction of the bars in your brief. The option title alone does not establish exact proportions or the geometry of every section; relate it to a labelled drawing and the actual size being ordered.

A useful way to organize the choices is to decide on operation first, then the pattern, followed by wood, cladding, colour and handle. The glazing construction can be confirmed afterward. This is an administrative sequence rather than a technical rule, but it keeps independent selections distinct and reduces contradictory information in the enquiry.

Related window and door designs

This format suits a project requiring two operable sashes plus tilt. Where the glazing should remain closed, consider the Fixed Glazed Window. The Round Fixed Glazed Window and Half-Round Fixed Glazed Window offer different shapes and are also non-opening. For another grouping of window elements, consult the Combination Window. Use the specification attached to each product rather than transferring features between models.

Pay close attention to opening direction when comparing models. The EI30 Pivot Fire Window opens outward and retains its stated EI30 classification. The Super Low Uw Passive House Pivot Window also moves outward. Neither operates like this inward-moving two-sash unit, so their frame, wood and glazing specifications do not apply here.

Where the project calls for access through a glazed entrance, compare the Outward-Opening Patio Door with One Sash and the Historic-Style version listed alongside it. Those doors move outwards, which is a significant operational distinction. First establish the opening’s intended function. Then assess the relevant catalogue details for movement, material, pattern and the number of moving sections.

Build a clear window enquiry

Start the request by recording the necessary width and height. Specify the construction, preferred two-pane or three-pane glass, colour and handle. Describe the complete pattern as well. Where stationary glazing is included, identify its position precisely: the centre-fixed arrangement differs from the layout containing two stationary sections. For an order covering several openings, give each window a separate reference. Beside that reference, write the selected timber species and state whether its outside face requires aluminum cladding. This keeps the dimensions, materials and visual choices associated with the correct opening throughout the enquiry.

List any choices that have not yet been settled. Bloomcabin can help organize the offered combinations of custom dimensions, wood, aluminum cladding, insulating glass, colour, handle and pattern. The first request does not have to resolve every detail, but it should describe the required operation and preferred visual direction. That information gives the product discussion a clear starting point.

Is custom sizing available for this window?

Yes. It is made to the dimensions provided with the order. Submit the required width and height with the selected construction, and allow suitable interior clearance for both sashes.

What material constructions are available?

There are four constructions. Choose pine or oak as the wood, with an aluminum-clad alternative available for either species.

What insulating-glass options can I specify?

Choose insulating glazing with 2 panes or 3 panes. Each version uses argon in the cavity and has a heat-reflective coating. A CHR spacer forms the warm edge of the unit. The specified gasket material is silicone; record that glass construction with the other details for the order.

How do the sashes operate?

Both sashes open toward the interior and also offer a tilt setting. Keep the necessary room-side area clear for the intended operation.

Are glazing-bar patterns offered?

Yes. Choices include plain glazing, horizontal bars and certain fixed-glass patterns that incorporate vertical bars. The exact pattern depends on the selected combination of operable sashes and fixed sections.

Can the design include fixed glazing?

Yes. Available patterns combine two working sashes with either one or two fixed sections, including an arrangement with fixed glazing in the centre. State the entire pattern so that every sash, fixed area and glazing bar can be identified correctly.

May I select the colour and handle?

Yes. Select both from the offered choices and coordinate them with the wood species, optional aluminum cladding and chosen pattern.

What warranty period applies?

The windows and doors carry a five-year Bloomcabin warranty. Keep the purchase documents with the description of the ordered construction so the product and selected options can be identified later.
