Operating the pivot sash in everyday use

This window type has an outward-opening pivot sash. When opened, the sash therefore moves towards the outside. This direction of movement clearly distinguishes the product from windows whose sashes swing into the room. For everyday use, it is especially important to keep the intended movement path clear of objects and operate the sash in a controlled manner using the handle.

Open and close the window with a smooth, deliberate movement. Avoid abrupt pulling, pushing or forcing it further if you feel resistance. In that case, first check whether an object is in the movement area or something has become caught between the sash and outer frame. Careful operation supports comfortable use of the moving components.

The handle is a visible part of the window that is touched regularly. As a handle choice is available, you can include this detail in your planning. This is not only about visual coordination: your own preferences for handling can also be considered when choosing. However, the handle choice does not change the window’s defined identity as an outward-opening pivot sash.

When closing, ensure the sash can meet the frame without objects in between. The black rubber seals around the glazing form part of the specified construction. They should not be used as a gripping or pulling surface. Visible components can be maintained gently with suitable methods where needed; avoid aggressive treatment or sharp tools on the frame, glass, seals and fittings.

How the outward movement fits into daily use depends on the specific installation setting. In a kitchen, opening leaves the interior clear of an inward-swinging sash, while sufficient movement space must be allowed outside. In a study, the desk, shelves and access to the handle can be incorporated into the layout. Therefore assess the internal operating area and the external movement space together.

02

Construction, components and technical dimensions

The construction is based on pine combined with special thermal-insulation material. The outer frame has a component dimension of 105 × 57 mm, while the sash frame has a component dimension of 90 × 65 mm. These figures describe the respective frame components and must not be read generally as the depth, width or height of the entire window. The finished external dimensions result from the requested made-to-measure design.

Installation holes of 14 mm are provided. This dimension relates to the installation holes, not to the window order size or the size of the building opening. For installation planning, record the actual opening, required window size and intended building connection separately. Clear labelling of dimensions makes coordination easier and prevents component dimensions from being confused with project dimensions.

The window is fitted with SPILKA hardware. The handle, by contrast, is one of the selectable features and can be specified to suit the desired design. Record your handle preference separately from colour, window size and glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry. This keeps your preferred visible handle style clear while the specified hardware and opening type remain correctly assigned to the window.

The window is CE marked and offered with a 5-year manufacturer guarantee. CE marking forms part of the stated product specification; the guarantee indicates the applicable guarantee period. Note these details together with the frame data, glazing and opening type when comparing windows for your project. This helps distinguish technical features clearly from purchase-related conditions.

Technical dimensions are most useful when read as part of the overall picture. Frame components, sash, glazing, seals, hardware and installation holes each have their own role. A single measurement therefore does not automatically describe the complete installation situation. For planning, the made-to-measure specification remains the central starting point, while component dimensions characterise the product’s defined construction.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Before enquiring about the window, carefully record the intended building opening. Do not measure at only one point or rely on assumed nominal values. Measurements at different points help identify variations within the opening. Record the figures clearly and state what each measurement refers to, so that the opening size and desired window size are not confused.

As a made-to-measure design is available, the actual opening provides the basis for size planning. Technical component dimensions do not replace this assessment. Also consider the intended installation build-up and clarify what information is required for the building connection. If you work with an installation specialist, agree the measuring method and dimensional reference before making your enquiry.

The sash opens outwards. Sufficient clear movement space must therefore be allowed on the outside for the intended swinging movement. Check for possible obstacles such as building projections, exterior equipment or other nearby elements. This check does not concern the size of the interior, but the actual movement zone at the planned installation point.

Accessibility of the handle should also be included in the assessment. Furniture, deep worktops or other internal elements can affect convenient reach even when the sash moves outwards. Include such project-specific conditions in the window layout at an early stage. The available handle choice can then be considered to suit the desired use and visual design.

Finally, consider the opening in connection with the desired glazing-bar composition. The same line pattern can look different in different window formats. A simple scale drawing helps assess horizontal and vertical glazing bars in relation to the planned window and neighbouring components. Mark the window position, dimensions and full name of the glazing-bar pattern on it.

Colour, lines and the overall visual composition

A colour choice is available for this passive-house window. This allows the frame to be integrated into your project’s colour concept. State your preferred shade as clearly as possible so we can record it with the dimensions, handle and glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry. With several windows, a position-specific colour reference is recommended, especially where different designs are wanted within one project.

Colour never works in isolation. It relates to the glass area, the thickness of visible frame parts and the lines of the glazing bars. A design without glazing bars can emphasise the frame differently from a composition with several horizontal and vertical lines. Consider whether the shade should blend quietly into its surroundings or become a deliberate part of the façade division.

The handle also belongs to the visible overall composition. Since a handle choice is possible, you can consider this detail together with the window colour and glazing-bar pattern. Describe your preferred handle finish as specifically as possible and assign it to the relevant position when several windows are involved. The coordinated design features complement the outward-opening pivot sash and its defined construction.

The black rubber seals form part of the glazing and should not be confused with the selectable frame colour when planning colours. For a coherent design concept, the desired shade, handle finish and glazing-bar lines are especially important. Consider these elements together with the glass area and window format so the bespoke window fits harmoniously into the façade and interior.

For a restrained appearance, you may prefer a design without glazing bars or a version with only one horizontal or vertical glazing bar. If the window should appear more divided, the named compositions with several horizontal or vertical glazing bars are available. A scale drawing showing the window format, colour and glazing-bar direction can help you describe the desired overall effect clearly.

Comparing suitable windows and doors for further openings

If your project includes several openings, it is worth comparing them by function, form, material and glazing. The passive-house window presented here combines an outward-opening pivot sash with pine, special thermal-insulation material and triple insulating glass. For other positions, fixed windows, further outward-opening window types or patio doors may better suit the intended use.

Fixed-glazed versions suit positions where an opening window function is not required. Alongside a classic version, the related range also includes round, semi-round, triangular and angled forms. Depending on the product type, pine or oak and sometimes aluminium cladding are specified; these models may also offer double or triple insulating glazing. Therefore check each opening against its relevant product features.

Among other outward-opening windows, you can compare different sash concepts. The related pivot window and top-hung opening window are available with SPILKA hardware and double or triple insulating glass, each with a choice of size, colour and handle. Material options in pine, oak and aluminium cladding offer further possibilities where your project has different requirements for material and external finish.

For low-level or walk-through openings, the related range includes single-leaf outward-opening patio doors. The regular version is available in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding, while the historic version is made in pine or oak. Both door types use SPILKA and ASSA hardware with 3-point locking and are specified with double or triple insulating glass and, depending on the design, a panel.

Use the following product pages to compare opening type, form, material, glazing and design for each project position. Then decide for every opening whether a fixed-glazed window, an opening window or a patio door is needed. This creates a clear selection in which each element can be planned according to its own function and specification. Fixed-glazed window, Round fixed-glazed window, Semi-round fixed-glazed window, Triangular and angled fixed-glazed window, Outward-opening pivot window, Outward-opening top-hung window, Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Single-leaf historic-style outward-opening patio door.

A clear enquiry in a few steps

Start by identifying the product clearly: “Super Low Uw passive-house window, outward opening”. The full title prevents confusion with other pivot windows, top-hung windows, fixed glazing or doors. If your project contains several openings, give each position a short, clear reference so dimensions and design preferences can reliably remain assigned to the right location.

Then record the details needed for the bespoke design. Note measurements with clear labels and state whether they are measured opening dimensions or desired product dimensions. Add notes on the installation situation and the available external movement area for the sash. An organised table or position list is especially useful when several windows in different formats are planned.

Next, choose one of the precisely named glazing-bar patterns. In your enquiry, use the full design name wherever possible so horizontal and vertical glazing bars are not mixed up. If you include a drawing, it should carry the same position reference as your dimensions. The drawing supports the written selection but does not replace the clear name of the required pattern.

Record your colour preference and preferred handle finish separately. This keeps the two visible design features clearly distinct and lets them be assigned unambiguously to each window position. Add the desired glazing-bar pattern and check that all design details match your drawing. SPILKA hardware and the outward-opening pivot-sash design are part of the defined product construction.

Finally, check all details together: exact product name, position, dimensions, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle. Ensure that descriptions in notes, drawings and the enquiry match and that every measurement has a clear reference. This final check reduces misunderstandings and creates a clear basis for further coordination. You can mark outstanding design preferences clearly and include them as separate questions in your enquiry.

Can the passive-house window be ordered made to measure?

Yes. The window is available as a made-to-measure design. For your enquiry, we need carefully measured dimensions of the intended opening. When planning, also consider the installation situation and the space required by the outward-moving pivot sash.

Can I choose a colour for the window?

Yes, colour is one of the selectable features. As a colour choice does not automatically include every conceivable colour finish, please state your specific preferred shade. It can then be recorded clearly in the enquiry together with the other project details.

Can I choose the handle?

Yes. Alongside size and colour, the handle can also be chosen. State your preferred handle finish together with your colour preference and the required glazing-bar pattern. The window hardware is specified as SPILKA.

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is made from pine combined with special thermal-insulation material. The outer frame has a stated component dimension of 105 × 57 mm and the sash frame 90 × 65 mm. The overall size of the bespoke window is set separately according to your project requirements.

Which glazing-bar designs are available?

The options include a single casement without glazing bars and several designs with horizontal and vertical glazing bars. The range extends from one horizontal or vertical glazing bar to more strongly divided compositions. Use the full name of the required glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry so its number and orientation are recorded clearly.

What opening type does this window have?

The window has an outward-opening pivot sash. This designation describes the product’s defined opening type. It is not equivalent to an inward-opening side-hung, tilt or tilt-and-turn window.

How is the glazing constructed?

The glazing is triple insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating, warm edge in CHR design and argon fill. Black rubber seals complete the specified glazing construction.

What details should I prepare for my enquiry?

For a clear enquiry, provide the opening dimensions, required glazing-bar pattern, colour preference and preferred handle finish. Add notes on the architectural context if needed. This allows the selected features to be considered together without contradiction.
