01

Operation and everyday use

The defining operating part of this combination window is the outward-opening sash; the second light remains fixed glazed. In everyday use, you therefore operate only the designated sash, while the fixed light remains an immovable part of the overall composition. This clear division works well for projects requiring both an opening section and a quiet glazed area within one continuous window surface. The available handle choice lets you select the operating element to suit the intended use and design of the window.

Because the sash moves outward, it does not require a corresponding swing area indoors when opened. This can matter when arranging items on the room side. At the same time, the outside area forms part of operational planning: before deciding, check whether the proposed installation situation suits the opening direction. This concerns not only the wall opening itself, but also practical use of the window in your individual project. The opening type should therefore be decided early, rather than being determined by the glazing-bar or colour choice.

For clear planning, the fixed light and sash should be clearly identified in your enquiry. A simple drawing from a stated viewing direction helps show the two components and the desired glazing-bar pattern clearly. This is especially useful for patterns in which the fixed light and sash have different divisions. Use the complete pattern name and show on the sketch how the described division should appear in the planned window elevation.

The handle choice forms part of the available specification. SPILKA and IPA fittings are stated for the construction; the specific handle choice should be considered separately. In your enquiry, describe which handle suits your project and how the window will be used day to day. Together with dimensions, frame material, colour, glazing and glazing-bar pattern, this provides a clear product specification.

02

Construction, materials and component dimensions

The frame is available in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. The timber choice and decision for or against aluminium cladding should be stated together as one material specification. Profiles vary by version. The outer frame is specified as 105 × 57 mm; with aluminium cladding, its component size is 115 × 57 mm. The sash frame is specified as 76 × 65 mm; with aluminium cladding, the component size is 86 × 65 mm. These are profile or component dimensions, not overall window dimensions.

The fixing holes are specified as 14 mm. This value describes the holes and must not be read as the wall-opening size or fixing spacing. Project-specific made-to-measure dimensions are still needed to plan the complete window element. As the product is available to measure, clearly distinguish the overall dimensions in your enquiry from the component dimensions stated here. A labelled dimension sketch is more informative than an uncommented sequence of figures.

The window is designed for 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. The glazing includes a heat-reflective coating, a warm edge (CHR) and argon-gas filling; black rubber gaskets are used at the glass junction. The “Kombi” side-hung window is CE marked and carries a five-year manufacturer guarantee. Record your required glass construction separately from dimensions, material and design details in your enquiry.

SPILKA and IPA fittings are used in the construction. Made-to-measure production, colour choice and handle choice are among the customisable points. You can also select the offered material version, glazing and a suitable glazing-bar pattern. Always state the material in full, for example pine with aluminium cladding or oak without aluminium cladding, so the required frame construction is described unambiguously.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As the combination window can be made to measure, planning begins with a clearly documented building opening. Assign every dimension clearly instead of sending only a series of individual figures. A sketch should show the viewing direction from which it was prepared and identify the inside and outside. Also mark the fixed light and sash according to the required construction. This allows dimensions, opening direction and window elevation to be understood clearly together.

Check the opening at several suitable points so that possible variations in the existing building situation become apparent. Published dimensions for the outer frame, sash frame and fixing holes do not replace project-specific details for the building opening and desired overall window size. Keep these three types of dimension separate and identify every value clearly. This applies both to existing buildings and new builds where the planned opening is already shown in the design documentation.

For this product, the opening direction is an essential part of planning. The sash moves outward, so adequate clear space should be allowed outside for intended operation. Check existing or planned building elements and items there that could obstruct the movement area. The actual installation situation is decisive: the outward-opening concept should suit both the built surroundings and the intended use of the window.

Add the selected glazing-bar pattern directly to the same elevation that identifies the fixed light and sash. This makes it easier to compare dimensions and design details. If the opening is irregular or has particular junction conditions, this should be clearly visible in the project description and sketch. Clear documentation separates building-opening dimensions, desired overall window dimensions and published profile dimensions, helping us process your enquiry accurately.

06

Colour, material and visual composition

The appearance of the combination window results from the interaction of material, colour, glass surfaces and glazing bars. Pine and oak are each available in a pure timber version or with aluminium cladding. These material descriptions should not be shortened, because the aluminium cladding is linked to the selected timber. Which version suits your project is a design decision that can be made in relation to the internal view, external view and existing architecture.

A colour choice is available. State your colour preference as precisely as possible and link it to the selected material version. Assess the required colour from both the inside and outside, and in relation to the architecture. A labelled overview or elevation sketch is particularly helpful where several windows are to be integrated into an existing colour and façade concept.

The relationship between fixed light and sash shapes the overall appearance. A fixed light without glazing bars can appear as a large, calm surface, while bars in the sash create a finer order. If both areas are divided similarly, the composition may look more regular. Different glazing-bar patterns deliberately create different visual weight. This design effect is best assessed using a simple façade elevation that also considers adjacent lines, openings and building elements.

The handle choice also forms part of the window’s visible specification and should be considered separately from the fittings. State the required handle together with material, colour and glazing-bar pattern in a concise project overview. This makes it easier to assess whether the individual choices support the same design direction. The black rubber gaskets form the technical glass junction; frame material, colour, glass surfaces and glazing-bar division are also key to the overall impression.

Compare related product types purposefully

The “Kombi” side-hung window combines a fixed light with an outward-opening sash. If this basic format does not suit the intended opening, it is worth comparing other window and door types in our range. Start with the key project questions: is this a façade or roof, should the element open inward or outward, and are one or two moving sashes or a patio door required? You can then compare materials, glazing and design across the suitable product type.

For a roof opening, a pivot roof window with a bottom-mounted operating handle is available. For outward-opening façade windows, single- or double-sash reversible windows with a vertical pivot axis can be an alternative to the fixed-light-and-sash combination. Like the combination model, these windows are available in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding, and are offered with 2- or 3-pane insulating glazing. Available glazing-bar patterns differ by product type.

If the window needs to open inward, single- and double-sash versions with a tilt function are available. Both are offered in pine or oak, each also available with aluminium cladding, and use 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. For fire-resistance requirements, there is also a separate inward-opening EI30 window in oak with 2-pane insulating glass. The appropriate category should therefore be determined before selecting details, based on the intended opening type and use.

For terrace access, single-sash outward-opening patio doors may be suitable instead of a window. They are available in a standard version and in a historic-style variant. Depending on the version, the named design patterns include undivided glazing, horizontal or vertical glazing bars, and combinations of glazing and panels. Alongside the visual effect, compare whether your project requires an operable window or a full terrace entrance.

The following related products provide an overview of suitable alternatives for roof openings, inward- or outward-opening façade windows, EI30 requirements and terrace access: Pivot roof window, Single-sash reversible window with vertical pivot axis, outward-opening, Double-sash reversible window with vertical pivot axis, outward-opening, Single-sash inward-opening window, Double-sash inward-opening window, EI30 inward-opening fire window, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Historic-style single-sash outward-opening patio door.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Start your enquiry with a brief project description and confirm that you require an outward-opening combination window with fixed light and sash. Describe the intended installation situation and add a simple window elevation. Always state whether the drawing is viewed from inside or outside. This allows the required composition, opening direction and built surroundings to be assessed together from the outset.

Then add the intended made-to-measure dimensions, clearly separating them from the building-opening dimensions and published profile data. A labelled sketch can bring dimension lines, fixed light, sash, inside and outside, and viewing direction together in one document. Use metric units throughout and avoid unlabelled individual figures. Particular features of the opening or adjoining building elements should also be clearly shown in the drawing or project description.

Next, choose the complete material version: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Add your colour preference and required handle version as separate points. This makes clear which information concerns the frame construction, colour effect and operating element. SPILKA and IPA fittings are technical product details and should not be confused with the available handle choice.

Then state the required construction with 2- or 3-pane insulating glass and use the complete name of the selected glazing-bar pattern. Check whether the fixed light and sash in your sketch are divided as in the chosen pattern. Where the areas are divided differently, it should be clear which glazing bars belong to the fixed light and which belong to the sash. A stated viewing direction avoids misunderstandings between inside and outside views.

Finally, check that the opening type, dimensions, material version, colour, glass construction, glazing-bar pattern and handle choice are complete and consistent. Ensure every drawing is labelled and that building-opening dimensions, desired overall window dimensions and profile dimensions remain clearly separate. An enquiry structured this way gives us a clear overview of your project and helps us specify your made-to-measure “Kombi” side-hung window accurately.

Which material versions can I request?

The “Kombi” side-hung window is available in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. State your preferred material version together with the other project details in your enquiry.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes. Colour choice is among the available purchase decisions. As the desired effect depends on material, glazing-bar pattern and surroundings, state your colour preference as clearly as possible together with the selected material version.

Is there a choice of handle?

A handle choice is available. It is best to include your preferred handle directly in the enquiry, so it can be considered with material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern and dimensions. The named fitting brands do not constitute a guaranteed choice of brand.

How long is the guarantee for the combination window?

The “Kombi” side-hung window has a five-year manufacturer guarantee. Keep your order documents and complete product specification so the selected version, including dimensions, material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern and handle, is clearly recorded.

Can the fixed light and sash have different divisions?

Yes. You can choose a glazing-bar pattern in which the fixed light and sash are divided differently. For example, an undivided fixed light can be combined with a sash divided by horizontal or vertical glazing bars. Select one of the available glazing-bar patterns.

Is the combination window suitable for an individual building opening?

Made-to-measure manufacture allows the window to be matched to the intended building opening. For this, we need reliable opening dimensions and a clear description of the installation situation. When planning, also account for the outward movement of the sash.

Is aluminium cladding available with both pine and oak?

Both timbers are listed in versions with aluminium cladding. It is important to state not only “aluminium”, but also the required timber. This keeps it clear whether pine or oak forms the basis of your selection.

What should I do if I need a different opening type?

First check the required operating direction. This combination window opens outward. For other installation situations, compare it with inward-opening windows, outward-opening reversible windows or a pivot roof window. The deciding factors are installation location, opening direction and the number of moving sashes needed.
