01

Operation and everyday use

The single sash opens outwards as a casement window. Its direction of movement therefore differs from windows whose sashes swing into the room. In daily use, the internal area in front of the window remains unaffected by the moving open sash. This can help when planning a room, but does not confirm suitability for particular furniture or window dressings. What matters is how the window is installed and used in your own situation.

For comfortable everyday use, consider early on from where you will operate the sash. The handle is selectable and may be chosen for practical reasons as well as to suit the window design. Please state your handle preference clearly in your enquiry. SPILKA and IPA are specified as fittings; they form part of the technical equipment and are not separately listed purchase choices.

How often the window is opened and how easily the handle should be reached depend on the room and your habits. Check whether furniture, deep internal reveals or window coverings could restrict access to the operating handle. There should also be sufficient clear space outside for the sash to open. This brings interior planning and the building situation into consideration before you order.

Treat timber surfaces, glass and rubber seals as different materials when cleaning and maintaining the window. Select products and tools appropriate to each surface, avoiding harsh cleaners and abrasive equipment. Guide the sash steadily when opening and closing, and use the handle without unnecessary force. Also follow the care guidance for your selected timber and colour finish.

02

Construction and component dimensions

The window consists of an outer frame and a single sash frame. The outer frame is the fixed installed element, while the sash frame holds the moving window sash. The component dimensions and installation-hole size are collected in the specification summary. These values expressly refer to the named components and should not be read as the general depth, width or height of the complete window.

Pine and oak are available for the timber construction. The choice affects more than the material name; it also affects the window's natural character. Timber has its own grain and visible structure, which can vary. Such natural differences are inherent to the material and should be considered when matching existing timber elements. A colour choice is also available, so timber species and the desired colour effect can be considered together.

The outer frame, sash frame, glazing, seals and fittings together form the window construction. SPILKA and IPA are specified for the fittings. Timber species, colour and handle, by contrast, are choices you can make in your enquiry. This distinction helps keep technical product information and personal design preferences clearly organised.

For a made-to-measure window, component dimensions and overall dimensions must be distinguished. Profile specifications describe the construction of the frame elements, whereas the manufactured window size is matched to the intended opening. Planning and installation should therefore not rely on individual profile values alone. A complete dimensional assessment requires details of the actual opening and building situation.

The window is CE marked and offered with a five-year manufacturer guarantee. For planning purposes, treat both details separately from project-specific requirements. If your project needs particular technical values or documents, include them as specific questions in your enquiry. This makes it possible to check which version suits the building requirements.

05

Assessing the intended window opening

Before making an enquiry, assess the actual opening carefully. Because the sash turns outwards, the opening size is not the only consideration. The area outside must also be included in planning. Reveals, external sills, railings, planting, fittings on other components or structural projections can affect the installation. Whether any of these creates an obstruction must be checked against the actual arrangement.

Measure the opening at several suitable points and note any visible deviations. In older buildings, edges, reveals and connections can be irregular. One quickly obtained measurement may not represent the existing situation adequately. Also state whether this is an existing opening, a planned new-build connection or replacement of an existing window. This helps put the dimensions in the right context.

Then check the movement area of the outward-opening sash. What matters is the space actually available along its opening path. Watch for possible obstructions, frequently used routes or immediately adjoining outdoor areas. These conditions can affect whether the window can be operated practically in its intended position every day.

Document the inside and outside as clearly as possible. Notes or suitable photographs can show where connections, wall build-ups or existing elements are located. Reliable dimensions should not, however, be derived from images alone. Measured details and visual documentation serve different purposes and merely complement one another.

The dimensions of the outer frame, sash frame and installation holes refer to those individual components and do not automatically define the order size of the complete window. Manufacturing to measure therefore requires the dimensions and features of the actual opening. Clarify uncertainty about measurement, connections or installation before ordering, and keep open points separate from confirmed measurements. This keeps the building information traceable and easy to combine with your design choices.

Colour, timber and visual composition

The visual effect of this window comes from several connected decisions. The single sash first defines the basic composition. The selected glazing-bar pattern then structures the glass area, while timber species and colour determine how the frame fits into its surroundings. No choice needs to be considered in isolation. A harmonious result is more likely when the façade, neighbouring windows, doors and visible interior surfaces are assessed together.

You can choose pine or oak. Pine and oak have different natural appearances. As timber is a grown material, its grain and visible structure should not be understood as a perfectly uniform printed surface. If your building already contains timber elements, comparing their character can help when choosing. This does not, however, promise an exact match with existing surfaces.

Select the window colour to suit your project. Make your enquiry as clear as possible by stating an established colour reference or the desired colour direction. Consider the façade, adjacent building elements and the effect indoors. When coordinating with existing surfaces, suitable references are more helpful than broad descriptions such as “to match the existing building”.

The glazing-bar pattern affects the rhythm and weighting of the glass area. A horizontal division can pick up existing horizontal façade lines, while a vertical division emphasises other proportions. Combined patterns create a denser grid. These are general design effects, not promised changes to spatial dimensions or light values.

The handle choice also contributes to visual coordination, as it is an operating element seen regularly. Treat it as a separate choice and describe both your practical and visual preferences. For a coherent composition, consider the timber species, colour, glazing-bar pattern, glazing construction and handle together. The black rubber seals are part of the glazing construction and are not a separately selectable colour feature.

Discover related window and door types

If a single sash does not suit the planned window opening or façade arrangement, compare it with a historic double-sash outward-opening casement window. It is likewise available in pine or oak and can be designed with different glazing-bar patterns. The central difference is the composition of two sashes rather than one.

The two combination casement windows join a fixed glazed section with an outward-opening sash. A standard and a historic version are available. The historic combination window is offered in pine and oak; the standard combination window also has versions with aluminium cladding. Both product types have their own glazing-bar arrangements and are useful comparisons where a fixed pane and opening sash are required.

For other installation situations, there is also a centre-pivot roof window and single- and double-sash reversible windows with a vertical pivot axis. The roof window is made from pine with aluminium cladding and has a bottom-mounted operating handle. The reversible windows open outwards, are available in pine or oak, and can each also be selected with aluminium cladding. Compare these opening methods specifically with this window's classic casement sash.

Where a low-level opening to a terrace is planned, single-sash outward-opening terrace doors are related product types to consider. The historic version is available in pine or oak, while the standard terrace door also offers aluminium-clad options. Depending on the design, glazed versions, glazing-bar arrangements and panel versions are available.

First define the basic composition your project needs: one or two sashes, a fixed pane with sash, a roof window, a reversible version or a terrace door. Then compare the materials, glazing and available design patterns. You will find suitable related products immediately below.

Prepare your enquiry in a few steps

Start by identifying the product clearly. Note that you are enquiring about the “Historic single-sash outward-opening casement window”. This makes clear that you need the individual historic casement sash, rather than a double-sash, combination or differently named window type.

Next, bring together the building details. Transfer the carefully taken dimensions of the intended opening and add notes on the wall build-up, connections and any noticeable irregularities. Separate measured values from estimates. If a detail is still unclear, mark it as an open point instead of replacing it with an apparently precise assumption.

Then choose pine or oak and add your colour preference. Where possible, give a clear colour reference or clearly describe the colour direction. If the window is to coordinate with existing windows, doors or façade elements, suitable references or photographs can illustrate the intended effect.

Then select double or triple insulating glass and the required glazing-bar pattern. Use one of the listed names for the arrangement where possible, so the number and direction of glazing bars are clear. Add your handle preference as a separate selection. SPILKA and IPA fitting details are technical product equipment, not a choice between two brands.

Finally, check whether your project requires specific technical values or documents, and list these as direct questions. The window is CE marked and has a five-year manufacturer guarantee. A well-organised enquiry includes the product name, the opening dimensions and features, timber species, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern, handle preference and any outstanding project requirements. This lets us record your requirements for the made-to-measure window clearly and discuss them with you systematically.

Is the window made to measure?

Yes. The window is offered made to measure. For a meaningful enquiry, we need the dimensions of the intended opening and notes about the installation situation. Made-to-measure production does not replace a professional assessment of whether the building conditions at the particular property are suitable.

Which timber species are available?

You can choose between pine and oak. Each timber species gives the window its own natural character. You can assess which version suits your project visually by considering the colour, glazing-bar pattern and existing building elements together.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes, colour is one of the selectable features. Tell us your preferred colour direction or an already defined colour reference. For a cohesive choice, consider the façade, neighbouring windows and doors, and the desired effect within the room.

Which glazing options are available?

You may choose a double-glazed or triple-glazed insulating glass unit. Both constructions have a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas. The glazing that suits your project should be selected against its specific requirements.

Is the window available with glazing bars?

Yes. Alongside the version without glazing bars, the design-pattern section lists arrangements with horizontal and vertical glazing bars. This lets you coordinate the division specifically with the façade, room effect and neighbouring windows.

Is there a choice of window handle?

Yes, a handle choice is among the available purchase options. Tell us your visual and practical requirements for the handle, so we can include them with the timber species, colour, glazing and glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry.

Is the window CE marked?

Yes, the window is CE marked. If your building project also requires particular technical values or documents, please include these as separate points in your enquiry.

How long is the window guarantee?

This single-sash casement window has a five-year manufacturer guarantee. It is also CE marked.
