01

Opening, closing and everyday use

The window is a two-sash design with outward-opening casement sashes. When operated, the sashes move away from the interior. This can suit rooms where the area beside the window is to remain free from inward-swinging sashes. The specified opening type should nevertheless always be considered alongside the installation position and everyday routines.

For everyday use, move the selected handle steadily and under control. Guide each sash while opening or closing rather than letting it move unchecked. As with any timber window, attentive care makes it easier to monitor the surfaces, glass, seals and hardware. Remove visible dirt with suitable gentle products, and avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaning methods.

The handle is a selectable design feature. It affects the immediate feel of operation and forms part of the interior-facing appearance. State your preferred handle together with the timber type, colour and glazing-bar pattern. This design choice is separate from the fitted hardware: SPILKA and IPA identify the specified hardware components, not freely selectable brand alternatives.

When choosing the window, also consider how often it is likely to be used and who will use it day to day. These considerations do not alter the specified opening type, but they can help you include the handle in your usage plan. After installation, check regularly that the window operates as intended and that seals or hardware areas show no visible dirt. If anything seems unusual, investigate the cause rather than forcing the sash.

With a two-sash arrangement, the operating sequence also matters in daily use. Ask for an explanation of how the two sashes should be opened and closed in your chosen version. Everyone using the window can then understand the intended operation and handle the sashes in a controlled way.

02

Construction, component dimensions and technical details

The frame section is specified as 105 × 57 mm and the sash section as 76 × 65 mm. These component dimensions differ from the made-to-measure dimensions of the completed window. For your enquiry, provide carefully established project measurements and identify every value clearly on a labelled sketch.

Installation holes are specified at 14 mm. Assess the complete installation situation, as the wall structure, junctions and neighbouring components must be included in the planning. The named hardware components are from SPILKA and IPA. These brand names describe the specified fittings; they are not a choice between hardware brands when ordering.

The window is available with 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. Both glass constructions include a heat-reflective coating, a warm edge spacer designated CHR and an argon-gas fill. The glazing seals are black rubber. For your configuration, state whether you require the 2- or 3-pane version.

The window is CE marked and offered with a 5-year guarantee. These details form part of the specified product configuration. For your project records, keep the product name and selected features together, so technical details are not accidentally confused with those of a similarly named window type.

Pine and oak are available as frame timbers. You can also select made-to-measure sizing, colour and handle finish. The technical details provide the common basis of the product, while these orderable features determine your individual configuration. This keeps fixed construction characteristics distinct from personal design decisions.

05

Assessing the proposed opening carefully

As the casement sashes open outwards, the proposed window opening should be assessed spatially as well as measured. Look at the area immediately in front of the window and trace where the sashes would move when open. Relevant features may include a deep external sill, façade projections, balustrades, downpipes, shutters, planting or other fixed elements.

Also include regularly used outdoor areas. If the opening faces a deck, narrow path or place where items are stored, sash movement may be important to everyday use. Assess the particular location realistically, considering both fixed elements and the usual use of the outdoor space.

Measurements must reflect the actual building situation. Measure the opening at several appropriate points and record visible variations rather than assuming a perfectly square or uniform shape. Clearly distinguish between structural opening dimensions and the required window dimensions. The stated frame and sash section dimensions do not replace project-specific measurement.

Consider adjoining surfaces and junctions too. Plaster edges, cladding, window sills and construction transitions can be relevant when positioning the window. When replacing an existing window, its visible external dimensions may not be enough to describe the full opening. A clear sketch with unambiguous measurement references can prevent misunderstandings in the enquiry.

Photographs of the opening can be helpful in addition, but do not replace precise measurements. Record from which side each view was taken and which adjoining building elements it shows. Check the area under realistic conditions and allow for changes caused by movable or seasonal elements. This treats the outward sash movement as part of the installation situation from the outset.

06

Bringing timber, colour and lines together

The visual effect comes from the interplay of the two-sash form, timber type, colour, handle and glazing-bar pattern. Pine and oak are available. Both can be incorporated into a historic design approach, but should not be considered separately from the building’s existing timber elements, surfaces and colour tones.

Colour selection is part of the orderable configuration. It allows the window to relate to an existing façade scheme or to become a deliberately distinct feature. Consider large surfaces such as plaster or timber cladding as well as smaller details on doors, eaves or other windows. A colour can appear different depending on surrounding materials and light conditions.

The glazing-bar pattern sets the rhythm within the sashes. Horizontal lines can relate to façade bands or divisions in neighbouring windows. Vertical lines can support an upright composition. Combined grids appear more divided, while the bar-free design remains quieter. The important step is choosing one of the named designs and specifying its full designation.

The handle also belongs to the visible interior composition. As a handle choice is available, select it together with the colour, timber and glazing-bar pattern. The SPILKA and IPA hardware brands are separate from this: they identify fitted hardware components, not a selection between different manufacturers.

For a coherent result, it can help to create a small material and colour schedule for the project. Note the selected timber, preferred shade, handle finish and the full name of the glazing-bar pattern. Add notes about neighbouring components where their design is to be reflected. This lets you consider the individual decisions as a coordinated window composition and communicate your requirements clearly.

Comparing related window types and patio doors

Alongside this two-sash casement window, the range includes further windows and patio doors for different installation situations. First compare the product type and opening direction. Then check whether you need two moving sashes, a fixed-light and sash combination, a roof window or a patio door. You can then compare materials, glazing and design options within the suitable product group.

The “Historic outward-opening Kombi casement window” combines a fixed glazed light with one sash and offers several glazing-bar patterns. The “Pivot roof window”, by contrast, belongs to the roof-window group and is a pivot window with a handle at the bottom. Both types therefore have a different basic construction from the two-sash casement window presented here.

For windows with a vertical pivot axis, single- and double-sash pivot windows are available for comparison; both open outwards. If the sashes should open into the room, compare the single- or double-sash inward-opening windows instead. Pay particular attention to the different opening and tilting functions, as well as the listed materials and glazing-bar patterns.

For low-level access to the outdoors, you can also consider single-sash outward-opening patio doors. Alongside the standard version, a historic-style option is available. Both product groups offer glazed designs and, depending on the design, versions with solid panels. Compare the respective door design, material selection, glazing and locking with your project requirements.

Start the comparison with the intended use: conventional window, roof window or patio door. Then decide on opening direction, number of sashes and a possible fixed-light combination. Finally, compare timber types, aluminium cladding, glazing and the available glazing-bar patterns.

Prepare your enquiry in a few clear steps

Start with a clear project description. Use the full name “Historic two-sash outward-opening casement window” so the required product is not confused with a pivot window, inward-opening window or patio door. Also note the room or façade side for which the window is intended, where this is helpful for your project.

Next, add your carefully taken measurements. A labelled sketch can show which value belongs to which point. Mark particular features of the existing opening and distinguish between the structural opening and the required finished dimensions. If several windows are being requested, give every position its own consistent reference so details are not mixed up.

Then define the design features. State pine or oak, describe the required colour and include your handle selection. Use the exact designated name for the glazing-bar pattern. This makes clear whether you want a bar-free, horizontally divided, vertically divided or combined appearance.

Add your choice of 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. Keep this detail in the same schedule as the other product features. Images of existing windows or façade details can clarify your design reference; label which element is for guidance, such as the line arrangement or colour treatment.

Finally, check every detail for consistency and completeness. The product name, measurements, timber type, colour, handle, glazing and full design name should all be clearly assigned. Collect additional questions in a separate section. This compact sequence creates a clear basis for discussing your enquiry in a focused way.

Is the window available made to measure?

Yes. This window is available made to measure. For a clear enquiry, carefully record the dimensions of the proposed opening and also state the required timber type, colour, glazing, handle finish and glazing-bar design.

Which timber types can I choose?

Pine and oak are available. Both are part of the specified product configuration. Assess which timber best suits your project by considering the intended room character, existing building elements and overall design concept.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes. Colour selection is one of the orderable features. It allows you to coordinate the timber window with a historic façade, existing timber components or a deliberately independent colour scheme. State the required colour in your enquiry.

Is there a choice of handles?

Yes. The handle finish can be selected as part of the configuration. State your preferred option with the other design features. The named hardware brands instead identify fitted components and should not be understood as freely selectable brand alternatives.

How long is the window guarantee?

This two-sash casement window has a 5-year guarantee. Keep the exact product name and your selected configuration in the project records so the details can later be assigned clearly to the window.

Must the window be ordered with glazing bars?

No. You can choose a version without glazing bars. Several named glazing-bar patterns with horizontal and vertical lines are also available, allowing the division to suit the desired historic façade arrangement.

What should I consider about outward opening?

Check the opening direction at the specific installation location. Consider adjoining components, sills, balustrades, planting, drainage elements and regularly used outdoor areas. Seasonal changes in the immediate surroundings should also be included in the assessment.

Which glazing is available for this window?

Choose between 2- and 3-pane insulating glass. Both versions have a heat-reflective coating, a warm edge spacer designated CHR and an argon-gas fill. State the required glass construction clearly in your enquiry.
