Combination Windows

Glass areas, materials and divisions in a cohesive design

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 looks, while five muntin patterns shape the glazed appearance. A handle can also be selected where the chosen arrangement includes suitable opening sections.

01

Plan use and operation from the outset

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

Where the selected arrangement includes suitable opening sections, you can choose a handle. Coordinate its appearance with the frame material, colour and muntin pattern rather than treating it separately from the window configuration. Above all, your enquiry should clearly show how you intend to use the relevant areas day to day.

Also check access to the glass and frame surfaces. Furniture, benchtops, deep reveals, curtains, or internal privacy and sun-control elements can affect how easily you reach the window. A room sketch helps make these conditions visible and compare your preferred composition with the actual use of the space.

Future care should form part of planning too. Glass, timber surfaces, aluminium-clad exterior faces and handles need cleaning appropriate to their materials. Use suitable care products and gentle tools, and follow the maintenance guidance for the selected finish. Easily reached surfaces simplify regular cleaning and help keep materials well cared for over time.

For a wide wall opening, you might first decide how the full area should be divided visually. Then check which sections must be accessible and whether the chosen arrangement provides appropriate opening sections. This develops a window composition in which design, usability and the room conditions are considered together from the beginning.

02

Construction, component dimension and documented key details

The frame is available in four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. You can choose either timber species, then select between the all-timber version and the aluminium-clad alternative. Consider both the interior effect and the intended external appearance when making your choice.

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

The insulated glass unit is offered with 2 or 3 panes. Both versions form part of the stated glazing build-up and are complemented by further specified components. The version intended for your project should be included in the enquiry and must not be inferred from the exterior appearance alone.

The combination window has a 5-year guarantee. Keep the documents supplied with the purchase and product, and observe their stated conditions, care instructions and usage guidance. The guarantee is separate from questions of appropriate planning, professional installation and project-specific suitability.

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

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Because the combination window is made to measure, planning starts with a reliable assessment of the existing or proposed opening. Do not record only one overall measurement. Check the opening at several points and note whether wall surfaces, reveals and adjoining components are straight, level and square. A suitably qualified person should check the resulting order dimensions.

Consistently distinguish between the structural opening, the desired overall window dimension, and the visible glass or frame layout. These details serve different purposes and must not be treated as equivalent without checking. Also document the side from which dimensions and views are taken. A clear internal and external view prevents a desired division from being understood in reverse.

The installation setting also includes the connections around the opening. The façade, internal lining, sill, weatherproofing layers and adjoining components can affect how the window is sized and positioned within its opening. Document these areas in your sketch and coordinate connection planning with the building and applicable local requirements.

Include required clearances and movement space in project planning. In your enquiry, describe how you wish to use the window and whether furniture, work surfaces, sloping ceilings, curtains or other elements come close to the opening. If the selected arrangement includes opening sections, their accessibility and required free space must suit the actual room situation.

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

06

Material, colour and proportion as a visual composition

The material range includes pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. Pine and oak each bring their own natural material character indoors. With the clad versions, the relevant timber base is combined with aluminium cladding, allowing the choices for internal and external views to be treated as a connected part of the design.

Colour choice is one of the available purchase decisions. Always consider colour together with the selected material and window location. A colour may look different indoors than on the façade because light, surrounding surfaces and viewing distance vary. Record which viewing side matters most to your decision and which existing colours provide the reference.

For a more complex window area, the effect is not created by colour alone. Frame lines, glass proportions, muntin direction and the proportions of individual sections together form the composition. A quiet colour connection to neighbouring components can unify the whole area. A deliberate contrast can make divisions more prominent. Both are design possibilities, not promised effects in every setting.

Assess the visible result using the material and colour finish actually selected. With a larger window composition, it is particularly worthwhile to consider internal and external views separately, because light, façade materials and adjacent surfaces change perception. A clearly labelled colour and material overview in your enquiry helps identify the intended design unambiguously.

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

Comparing window shapes and opening types sensibly

A combination window suits projects where several sections are planned as one connected window composition. If a distinctive geometric shape, fixed glazing only, or an explicitly outward-opening design is the focus instead, compare the related window types. Start with the basic function and shape before comparing dimensions, material, colour and muntin pattern.

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

Where an outward-opening window solution is needed, compare the related pivot, awning and casement windows. These types are offered in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, or oak with aluminium cladding, and include a handle choice. The key question is which specified opening type suits the intended use and installation setting; detailed planning then follows for the selected product.

For access to a patio, consider the related single-leaf outward-opening patio doors. Alongside the standard version, a heritage-style option is available. Both are independent door products with their own material, glazing, hardware and design options. When windows and doors are used together on a façade, you can coordinate colour, muntin lines and sightlines while still planning technical details for each product separately.

The following related products provide a direct overview of fixed special shapes, outward-opening windows and suitable patio-door options: Fixed round window, Fixed semi-round window, Fixed triangular and angled window, Outward-opening pivot window, Top-hung outward-opening awning window, Single-leaf outward-opening casement window, Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Heritage-style single-leaf outward-opening patio 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. Describe observable requirements rather than general wishes: for example, a particular direction of division, a relationship with neighbouring openings, or a preferred material character.

Then add the checked dimensions and an easy-to-read sketch. Mark the viewing direction and show how the full area should be divided. Supporting photos can explain the setting, but should not replace a dimensioned drawing. Point out adjoining components that may 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 explain whether it should relate to existing façade, interior or component colours. For an unambiguous design, name the muntin pattern by its official designation.

Then describe expected daily use. Where the selected arrangement includes suitable opening sections, add the preferred handle choice. Also identify furniture, work surfaces, curtains or other elements that might affect accessibility. Clearly state any special installation requirements and coordination needed with adjoining components.

Finally, check your documents for inconsistencies. Do dimensions, sketch and viewing direction agree? Is the material finish clearly named? Are colour, pane configuration and muntin pattern assigned clearly? Has a handle choice been given only for an arrangement with suitable opening sections? A concise, organised enquiry provides a dependable basis for further discussion of your made-to-measure combination window.

Can I choose the colour of my combination window?

Yes. Colour selection is one of the available purchase decisions. Consider the façade, adjoining components and interior design so the frame, cladding and muntin pattern work together as one coherent composition.

When can I choose a handle for the combination window?

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

Is the window suitable for an individually sized opening?

Made-to-measure production allows planning around your intended opening. Carefully measured dimensions and details of shape, connections and installation setting are essential. These details should be professionally checked before finalising the configuration.

Which material finishes are available?

Choose from pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. Select the option that suits your project based on the desired material and surface effect indoors and on the façade.

Can I design the muntin pattern freely?

Available choices are “SH1 – without muntins”, one horizontal muntin, one vertical muntin, two vertical muntins, and a combination of one horizontal and one vertical muntin. Choose the stated pattern whose direction of division best suits the window proportions and façade lines.

What should I consider for later cleaning?

Assess access to all visible glass and frame areas during planning. The suitable cleaning method depends on installation location, 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 insulated glass unit of two or three panes. Both versions include a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas fill. State the desired pane configuration in your enquiry.

What does CE marking mean for my planning?

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