Combination Windows

Glass areas, materials and divisions in harmony

Combination windows

Our combination window is made to measure and available in a choice of colours. Pine, oak and versions of each with aluminium cladding create different material effects, while five available glazing-bar patterns shape the appearance of the glass. A handle can also be selected where the chosen layout includes suitable opening sections.

01

Plan use and operation from the start

With a combination window, the arrangement of individual sections influences both its appearance and everyday use. Consider early which areas must remain accessible and what function you expect from them. Describe these requirements with your preferred layout so visual division and practical use can be assessed as one joined-up concept.

If the selected layout includes suitable opening sections, you can choose a handle. Coordinate its visual effect with the frame material, colour and glazing-bar pattern, rather than deciding independently from the actual window configuration. Above all, your enquiry should clearly show how you intend to use the relevant areas day to day.

Also check access to glass and frame surfaces. Furniture, worktops, deep reveals, curtains or internal privacy and solar-shading elements can affect access to the window. A room sketch helps make these conditions clear and compare the intended composition with the real use of the space.

Future care should also form part of planning. Glass, timber surfaces, aluminium-clad outer faces and handles need cleaning suited to their material. Use appropriate care products and gentle tools, and follow the maintenance instructions for the selected finish. Easily accessible surfaces make regular cleaning simpler and help preserve materials carefully.

For a wide wall opening, you might first decide how the full area should be visually divided. Then check which sections need to be accessible and whether the selected layout provides suitable opening sections. This creates a window composition in which design, usability and spatial conditions are considered together from the outset.

02

Construction, component dimension and documented core details

The frame is available in four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. You can therefore select either timber type and choose between the all-timber version and the aluminium-clad option. Consider both the interior effect and the desired external appearance when choosing.

A component dimension of 14 mm is stated for the installation drill holes. This measurement expressly refers to those drill holes. It is not the window depth, width or height, nor a general dimension for the frame, profile or installation opening. Use it only in this stated context when planning. Actual window dimensions result from the made-to-measure design and the intended opening.

The insulating glass unit is offered with 2 or 3 panes. Both versions form part of the specified glazing construction and are supplemented by further fixed components. The version intended for your project should be stated in the enquiry and must not be inferred from external appearance alone.

The combination window has a 5-year manufacturer guarantee. Keep the purchase and product documents, and observe the conditions, care instructions and use guidance they contain. The guarantee is separate from questions of suitable planning, professional installation and project-specific suitability.

The combination window is CE marked. Individual dimensions, connections and local installation conditions nevertheless remain important for project planning. Keep the details distinct: 14 mm applies only to installation drill holes, two or three panes to the insulating glass unit, and the five-year manufacturer guarantee to the product. Overall dimensions are set to suit the intended opening.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

As the combination window is made to measure, planning begins with a reliable assessment of the existing or planned opening. Do not record only one overall dimension. Check the opening at several points and note whether wall surfaces, reveals or neighbouring elements are straight, level and square. The resulting order dimensions should be checked by a suitably qualified person.

Consistently distinguish between the structural opening, the desired overall window size and the visible glass or frame division. These details serve different purposes and must not be treated as equal without verification. Also record the side from which dimensions and views are taken. A clear internal and external view prevents a desired division being understood in mirror image.

Installation conditions also include the connections around the opening. Façade, internal lining, window sill, sealing layers and adjoining elements can affect how the window is dimensioned and positioned within the opening. Record these areas on your sketch and coordinate connection planning with the building and applicable local requirements.

Include necessary clearances and movement space in project planning. Explain in your enquiry how you intend to use the window and whether furniture, work surfaces, sloping ceilings, curtains or other elements extend close to the opening. If the chosen layout includes opening sections, their accessibility and required free space must suit the actual room conditions.

For a newly planned opening, it can help to show the future window composition in a scaled drawing. For an existing opening, clear photographs and a sketch of adjoining wall surfaces are also useful. Photos do not replace measurements, but they help explain the situation. Also note whether visible lines from neighbouring windows or doors should be continued. This preparation provides a sound basis without deriving unchecked finished dimensions from a rough wall opening.

Material, colour and proportion as a visual composition

The material selection includes pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. Pine and oak each bring their own natural material character indoors. In the clad versions, the chosen timber base is combined with aluminium cladding, allowing you to consider the material decision for internal and external views as one connected part of the design.

Colour choice is among the available purchase decisions. Always consider colour with the selected material and the window location. A shade can look different indoors from on the façade because light, surrounding surfaces and viewing distance vary. Record which viewing side matters most to your decision and which existing colours should serve as references.

For a more complex window area, the effect is not created by colour alone. Frame lines, glass proportions, glazing-bar direction and the proportions of individual sections form the composition together. A restrained colour connection with adjacent elements can unite the whole area. A deliberately chosen contrast can emphasise division. Both are design possibilities, not guaranteed effects in every setting.

Judge the visible result using the material and colour finish actually selected. Particularly with a larger window composition, it is worthwhile considering inside and outside views separately, as light, façade materials and surrounding surfaces alter perception. A clearly labelled colour and material overview in your enquiry helps assign the desired design unambiguously.

One possible example is a façade with clear horizontal lines. A horizontally divided pattern could be considered as a visual reference here. In a room with more strongly vertical wall panels, a vertical division may instead be interesting. The key is to express such references as personal design intentions. The product itself does not prescribe an architectural style or a particular architectural effect.

Comparing window forms and opening types sensibly

A combination window suits a project where several areas are planned as one connected window composition. If a particular geometric form, fixed glazing only or an explicitly outward-opening version is the priority, compare the related window types. Start with basic function and form before comparing dimensions, material, colour and glazing-bar pattern.

Fixed-glazed window types are available for round, semi-round, triangular and sloping openings. Round and semi-round versions are offered in pine or oak. Triangular and sloping windows are also available in pine or oak with aluminium cladding. All three product types are non-opening, making them a considered alternative where light and form matter more than an operable sash.

Where an outward-opening window solution is needed, you can compare the related pivot, top-hung and side-hung windows. These types are offered in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding and include a handle choice. The important point is which specified opening type suits the intended use and installation conditions; detailed planning then follows for the selected product.

For access to a terrace, consider the related single-leaf outward-opening terrace doors. Alongside the standard version, a historic-style option is available. Both are independent door products with their own material, glazing, hardware and design options. Where windows and doors are used together in one façade, you can coordinate colour, glazing-bar lines and sightlines while still planning technical details product by product.

The following related products offer a direct overview of fixed-glazed special shapes, outward-opening windows and matching terrace-door options: Fixed round window, Fixed semi-round window, Fixed triangular and sloping window, Outward-opening pivot window, Outward-opening top-hung casement window, Outward-opening single-leaf side-hung window, Outward-opening single-leaf terrace door, Historic-style outward-opening single-leaf terrace door.

Preparing your enquiry in a clear order

Start with a brief description of your project. State the building area, internal and external sides, and why you are considering a combination window. Set out observable requirements rather than general wishes: for example, a particular direction of division, a relationship with neighbouring openings or a preferred material effect.

Then add verified dimensions and an understandable sketch. Mark the viewing direction and show how the complete area should be divided. Supplementary photos can explain the setting but should not replace a dimensioned drawing. Point out adjoining building elements that could be relevant to planning or use.

Next, specify the desired material finish: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Note your colour choice and say whether it should relate to existing façade, interior or building-element colours. For an unambiguous design, name the glazing-bar pattern by its official designation.

Then describe expected daily use. If the selected layout includes suitable opening sections, add your preferred handle choice. Also mention furniture, work surfaces, curtains or other elements that could affect accessibility. Particular installation requirements and necessary coordination with adjoining elements should likewise be clearly stated.

Finally, check your documents for contradictions. Do dimensions, sketch and viewing direction agree? Is the material finish clearly stated? Are colour, pane configuration and glazing-bar pattern clearly assigned? Has a handle choice been given only for a layout with suitable opening sections? A compact, well-organised enquiry provides a reliable basis for further discussion of your made-to-measure combination window.

Can I choose the colour of the combination window?

Yes. Colour selection is one of the available purchase decisions. Consider the façade, adjoining elements and interior design so that the frame, cladding and glazing-bar pattern work as one cohesive composition.

When can I choose a handle for the combination window?

A handle can be selected if the chosen layout includes suitable opening sections. First state the desired window composition and your everyday-use requirements. It can then be clarified which handle choice suits the specific version.

Is the window suitable for an individually dimensioned opening?

Made-to-measure manufacture allows planning around your intended opening. Carefully recorded dimensions and details of shape, connections and installation conditions are essential. These details should be professionally checked before the final specification is confirmed.

Which material finishes are available?

Choose pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Decide which of these four finishes suits your project according to the desired material and surface effect indoors and on the façade.

Can I freely design the glazing-bar pattern?

The choices are “SH1 – without glazing bars”, one horizontal glazing bar, one vertical glazing bar, two vertical glazing bars, or a combination of one horizontal and one vertical glazing bar. Select the named pattern whose direction of division best suits the window proportions and façade lines.

What should I consider for later cleaning?

Assess access to every visible glass and frame area during planning. The suitable cleaning method depends on installation position, accessibility and surfaces. Follow the care instructions for the materials and hardware used.

Which glazing versions are available?

The combination window is available with an insulating glass unit of two or three panes. Both versions include a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas filling. State your preferred pane configuration in your enquiry.

What does CE marking mean for my planning?

The combination window is CE marked. For your specific project, carefully coordinate dimensions, installation conditions, connections to adjoining elements and requirements at the intended location.
