01

Operation and everyday use

The pivot roof window is operated using a moving pivot sash. Its handle is positioned at the bottom, creating the defined operating point for this window type. Choosing a handle determines the style of the operating element; its position at the lower sash remains unchanged. Consider this arrangement early when planning window height and later use of the room.

How easily the bottom-mounted handle can be reached depends on the individual installation situation. Room height, window position, internal lining and items placed in front of it can all matter. Consider who will use the window regularly and whether the operating point will be practical to reach every day. These details complement opening dimensions and help you state your requirements clearly.

The available handle selection lets you include the operating element in the overall design. Depending on the room concept, you may want a discreet handle or a model intended as a visible detail. State the preferred effect together with your colour preference in the enquiry. We will compare this information with the handle versions offered for the pivot roof window.

For regular use, operate the sash and handle only as intended and avoid unnecessary loads on the operating element. Match cleaning methods to pine, aluminium cladding, glass and rubber seals. Gentle care protects the different surfaces and prevents unsuitable products from affecting seals or visible components. Size, colour and handle can still be selected independently to suit your project.

02

Construction, materials and component dimensions

The window combines pine with aluminium cladding. The fixed frame component measures 87 × 36 mm, while the aluminium-clad sash frame measures 97 × 40 mm. These figures apply to the individual frame components. They must not be interpreted as the depth, width or height of the complete window, and they do not replace the dimensions of the intended opening.

The pivot roof window has double glazing with a heat-reflective coating and argon gas fill. Black rubber glazing seals surround the glass. Their colour is separate from the selectable window colour: your chosen colour applies to the available window finish, whereas the black rubber seals are a fixed part of the glazing construction.

The pivot roof window has a five-year guarantee and is CE marked. Together with the material, glazing and frame-component details, this provides a clear basis for comparing products. Keep your order documents so that the selected version and its associated specifications can be identified clearly later.

When planning, do not confuse the frames' component dimensions with the complete window's order size. The 87 × 36 mm figure applies to the fixed frame, while 97 × 40 mm describes the aluminium-clad sash frame. Made-to-measure production instead relies on clearly identified project dimensions. Label each measurement so the opening size, required window size and frame values remain distinct.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Made-to-measure production starts with an opening described without ambiguity. Record more than individual lengths: also check exactly where each measurement point is located. Unclear information can cause component dimensions, opening dimensions and the desired window size to be confused. State whether each measurement refers to the existing structural opening or the required overall window size. The frame values stated above are component dimensions and must not be used as replacements.

Also assess the shape and condition of the intended installation situation. If edges do not appear parallel or the existing structure has particular features, mention this in the enquiry. A single measurement cannot fully describe such deviations. Supporting sketches or photographs can clarify the context, but do not replace careful measurement and allocation of the dimensions required.

The opening area also includes the space needed by the pivot sash during use. Check whether fixed components, furniture, linings or other items could restrict its intended movement. Also consider whether the bottom-mounted handle will be sensibly reachable in the planned position. Include these points in your planning alongside the opening dimensions.

Consider transitions to internal linings, connections and adjacent building components too. Their position can affect which reference points make sense for measurements and how much space remains around the pivot sash and lower operating handle. Show existing or planned elements on your sketch so the construction situation is clearly presented in the enquiry.

Finally, bring the recorded information together in a clearly labelled overview. Mark measurement points, units and the intended assignment to the window. Where uncertain, it is better to identify an item openly as a question than present an assumed value as fixed. This gives made-to-measure production a clear enquiry without mixing component dimensions and project measurements.

Coordinating colour and visual composition

The pivot roof window is made from pine with aluminium cladding. A choice of colours is available, allowing the visible finish to be coordinated with your design scheme. Tell us which colour or colour family you prefer and share any relevant project references. We will compare your request with the colours offered for this pivot roof window.

When planning the visual composition, consider the window beside adjacent surfaces, existing timber components and other visible elements. Describe the preferred colour and overall design aim as precisely as possible. We can then compare your request with the colour selection available for the pivot roof window.

The handle can also contribute a visible detail to the colour and material scheme. Decide whether it should blend discreetly with the window or form a deliberate accent. Describe that preference with your colour request; the exact handle version can then be selected from the available options. Its position remains at the bottom of the pivot sash.

Black rubber seals form part of the glazing, while the window colour and handle are selectable design features. Consider all these elements together without assigning them the same visual role. The heat-reflective coating is likewise part of the glazing rather than a colour option. The available window colour and handle version are therefore the main choices for coordinating the appearance.

A coherent result begins with a clear priority: should the pivot roof window integrate quietly into its surroundings or act as a deliberately placed feature? Use your answer to describe the preferred colour and desired effect of the handle in more detail. Record these preferences with the design designation so every visible decision has a clear context.

Placing related window and door types

The related range includes windows and terrace doors for different openings and operating concepts. For an initial selection, first consider the location, opening direction and required number of sashes. You can then compare materials, glazing and design. This keeps the pivot roof window as a clearly defined solution for the planned roof opening, while other product types retain their own function.

For façade openings, the range includes single- and double-sash inward-opening tilt windows, as well as a double-sash outward-opening reversible window with a vertical pivot axis. These operating methods differ from the pivot roof window and should be chosen for the particular installation. For every related window listed, size, colour and handle can be specified in the enquiry.

The range also includes fire-resistant windows expressly designated EI30: an inward-opening version and an outward-opening fire-resistant pivot window. Both are made from oak and have double glazing with a heat-reflective coating. If EI30 classification is relevant to your project, select the correspondingly designated product type and consider it separately from the pivot roof window presented here.

A further alternative is an outward-opening passive-house window with triple glazing. For terrace access, compare a single-sash outward-opening terrace door with a corresponding historic-style version. Depending on the design, doors may include glazed versions, glazing-bar arrangements and panel versions. The key point is to establish the correct window or door function for each opening first.

Use the following related products as a starting point for further openings in your project. Compare every element according to its own operation, materials, glazing and design options. When several product types are requested together, provide a separate allocation for every opening with size, colour and handle preference. This keeps requirements clear even in more extensive projects. Double-sash outward-opening reversible window with vertical pivot axis, Single-sash inward-opening window, Double-sash inward-opening window, EI30 inward-opening fire-resistant window, EI30 outward-opening fire-resistant pivot window, Super Low Uw outward-opening passive-house window, Single-sash outward-opening terrace door, Historic-style single-sash outward-opening terrace door.

Preparing your enquiry in a few steps

Begin your enquiry with the full designation RAS pivot roof window and assign it to the intended roof opening. This is particularly helpful when other windows or doors are being planned at the same time. A short identifier for every opening creates a clear structure and makes it easier to assign dimensions and design wishes to the correct element.

Then add the information for made-to-measure production. Refer to the dimension schedule you prepared and mention any identifiable features of the intended opening. Add outstanding points as specific questions so your enquiry can be assessed completely and without ambiguity.

Next, describe your colour preference as precisely as possible, for example by naming a colour family or referring to adjacent materials. We will compare it with the colours available for the pivot roof window. Pine and aluminium cladding describe the material construction, so record the required colour as a separate choice.

Add your handle preference and, if required, describe the desired visual effect. We will compare your information with the available handle selection. The handle's fixed position at the lower part of the sash remains unaffected.

Finally, check that the RAS pivot roof window designation, its assigned opening, all dimensions, and your colour and handle preferences are recorded together. Add any identifiable features of the installation and mark unresolved points as questions. Give every other window or door type a separate entry. This creates a clear enquiry that distinguishes project information from the required product version.

Can the pivot roof window be made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure production is one of the available options. Send us the measured dimensions of the intended opening so the desired version can be requested clearly. Final assessment should always take account of the specific installation situation.

Which colour can I choose for the window?

A choice of colours is available for the pivot roof window. In your enquiry, name the preferred colour or colour family, or provide a suitable reference from your project. We will compare your request with the colours offered for this window version. The construction materials, black glazing seals and window colour are separate features.

Is there a choice of operating handle?

A choice of handle is available. On this window type, the operating handle remains at the bottom. Include your preferred handle version with the colour and dimensions in the enquiry; this choice does not alter the stated operating position.

What glazing does the pivot roof window have?

The window is fitted with double glazing. The glazing construction includes a heat-reflective coating and argon gas fill. Black rubber is used for the glazing seals. These features are distinct from the selectable window colour and handle version.

Is the pivot roof window CE marked?

Yes, the pivot roof window is CE marked. This marking is one of the fixed product details, alongside the pine construction with aluminium cladding and double glazing.

What component dimensions are specified for the frames?

The fixed frame has a component dimension of 87 × 36 mm. The sash frame with aluminium cladding has a component dimension of 97 × 40 mm. These values belong to the stated frame components and must not be confused with the overall or order dimensions of the made-to-measure pivot roof window.

How long is the guarantee for the pivot roof window?

The pivot roof window has a five-year guarantee. Keep order documents containing the size, colour and handle details so the selected version remains clearly documented.

What information helps with a specific enquiry?

Useful details include the dimensions of the intended opening, information about the installation context and your preferences for colour and handle. Photographs can support the description, but they do not replace careful measurement or a project-specific assessment of the proposed installation.
