01

Operation and everyday use

This pivot window has an outward-opening sash with a lifting function. When opened, the sash moves to the outside. This differs from windows whose sashes swing into the room. Operate it deliberately and evenly, and do not move the sash by the glazing, glazing bars or any other components not intended for operation. The selected handle is the intended contact point for opening and closing.

The lifting function is integral to this opening type. Select the handle style separately and coordinate it visually with the timber species, colour and glazing-bar pattern. It is also important that the handle is easy to reach at the intended window position. Include sill height, nearby furniture and the usual operating position early in your selection.

Keep the travel area of the outward-opening sash clear of plants, stored items and other obstacles. Check not only the immediate window opening but also adjacent building elements and outdoor areas. If several people use the window, a brief reminder of its outward movement helps ensure that it is opened and closed in a controlled way using the handle.

When closing, guide the sash carefully to the frame and operate it using the handle. Avoid loading the glazing bars or glass by pulling or pushing on them. Visible dirt on the frame, handle and glass can be removed using a method suited to the relevant surface. Care requirements for the selected timber finish, colour or aluminium cladding should always follow the actual ordered specification.

For difficult-to-reach installation positions, check future operation during planning. The handle must remain safely accessible and the sash must be controllable. Describe a high sill, deep reveal, built-in fixtures or other special features in your enquiry so the intended use can be considered from the outset.

Construction, component dimensions and technical details

The outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, it measures 115 × 57 mm. The sash frame measures 76 × 65 mm; with aluminium cladding, it measures 86 × 65 mm. These are component dimensions for the stated frame profiles. They must not be treated generally as the depth, width or height of the complete window opening. The finished window size is made to measure for your project.

Installation holes have a diameter of 14 mm, and SPILKA components are specified as fittings. Always consider the installation holes and frame profiles with the existing wall build-up, junctions and intended fixing. For an enquiry, clearly distinguish the structural opening size, required window size and the component dimensions stated here.

The glazing is available as a double- or triple-glazed insulating glass unit. Its construction includes a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas. Black rubber seals serve as glazing gaskets. State the required glazing build-up separately in your enquiry so it can be clearly linked to the remaining configuration.

The pivot window has a 5-year warranty and is CE marked. Clearly state the required overall dimensions, material version, any aluminium cladding, glazing and design in your enquiry. Add the installation position and relevant building requirements so the configuration can be prepared clearly for each location.

Available materials are pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. In clad versions, the selected timber remains the basis of the material combination and is complemented by aluminium cladding. Note the differing profile dimensions: aluminium-clad outer and sash frames have the respective dimensions explicitly assigned above.

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As the sash opens outward, the area in front of the window forms part of the planning. Check reveals, railings, planting, sills and regularly stored items. The clearance required depends on the planned window size and specific installation position. Document possible obstructions together with the dimensions of the intended opening.

Record the dimensions of the intended structural opening clearly and distinguish them from profile dimensions of individual components. A wall opening is not equivalent to an outer-frame or sash-frame profile. Also establish whether the opening is square and even, and whether existing junctions, linings or window sills must be allowed for. The measuring points needed depend on the building situation.

The interior side remains important for everyday use even though the sash moves outward. Check whether the handle is readily accessible from the usual operating position and whether furniture, worktops, a deep reveal or built-in fixtures obstruct access. Such details are especially useful with high sills or unusual installation situations and should be included in the project description.

For renovations, it can help to document the existing opening, wall build-up and existing junction details separately. For a new build, clearly identify the planned rough-opening dimensions and intended window location. Photos can provide additional context for an enquiry, but do not replace measurements. Ensure all details relate to the same opening, especially where several windows are planned.

With made-to-measure production, the window is assembled for your project using the agreed dimensions. Before enquiring, check what each measurement refers to and allocate every detail clearly to the relevant opening. Structural-opening measurements, installation location, outside clearance area and handle accessibility together provide a sound basis for further product selection.

Material, colour and visual composition

Material choice shapes the frame and therefore a major part of the window’s visual effect. Pine and oak are available, and both timber species are also offered with aluminium cladding. First decide which timber suits your project, then whether you prefer the all-timber version or the corresponding combination with aluminium cladding.

You can also select a colour and coordinate it with façade surfaces, neighbouring windows or the desired interior effect. Always state the colour alongside the specific material version in your enquiry. Surface, light and adjacent materials affect perception, so assess colour best in relation to timber species, aluminium cladding, glazing-bar pattern and handle.

The glazing-bar pattern is another defining part of the composition. Without glazing bars, the glass surface appears more continuous. Horizontal bars echo level lines, vertical bars emphasise an upright division, and combined patterns create a clearer grid. All offered options apply to the single sash of the outward-opening pivot window.

The handle also forms part of the visible composition and can be selected with the colour, timber species and glazing-bar pattern. Alongside appearance, consider accessibility at the intended installation position. The structural SPILKA fittings and selectable handle style are separate elements of your product configuration.

For a calm overall appearance, it can be useful to establish a few clear reference points, such as lines of neighbouring windows and a repeated frame colour. In a more divided design, a glazing-bar pattern can deliberately follow façade axes. These examples help organise decisions rather than impose design rules. Your preferred combination of material, cladding, colour, handle, glass and glazing bars remains decisive.

Compare pivot windows with related product types

Our related selection includes outward-opening casement windows and single-leaf patio doors as well as this pivot window. First establish whether you are planning a window or a walk-through access point, and which opening type suits the project. Then compare sash number, material, glazing and the available design variants for each product.

The related casement windows are available in single- and double-sash versions. Standard versions come in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding. Historic-style products in pine or oak are also available. When choosing between these window types, compare the required sash number and material version with the existing façade division.

Related “Kombi” casement windows combine a fixed glazed section with an opening sash and offer several specified glazing-bar patterns. Here too, there is a standard version with optional aluminium cladding and a historic-style version in pine or oak. This product group is useful for comparison if your design requires a fixed glazed area alongside an operable sash.

For patio access, consider the related single-leaf outward-opening patio doors. Depending on the version, designs with glazing, glazing bars and panels are offered. The standard version is available in pine and oak, each also with aluminium cladding; the historic-style version is available in pine or oak. Review these door products separately where a passage is needed rather than a window opening.

The following related selection lets you open the named product types and check their details separately: Single-sash outward-opening casement window, Historic-style single-sash outward-opening casement window, Double-sash outward-opening casement window, Historic-style double-sash outward-opening casement window, Outward-opening “Kombi” casement window, Historic-style outward-opening “Kombi” casement window, Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Historic-style single-leaf outward-opening patio door.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Begin with a clear project reference. Note the room, building section or window position to which the enquiry relates. Where several openings are planned, assign understandable names so dimensions and design preferences are not mixed up. Then record the identified overall dimensions and state what each measurement refers to.

Next, choose the material version: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Add your preferred colour. If you have not made a final decision, describe the preferred effect but clearly distinguish a preference from a selection already confirmed.

Next, specify the glass build-up within the available glazing options. List this separately so it does not have to be inferred from the material or glazing-bar pattern. Then select the exact name of the required glazing-bar pattern. For a version without glazing bars, state that name explicitly rather than leaving the field blank.

Then add your handle choice and coordinate it with the frame colour, material and glazing-bar pattern. Record the handle preference as a separate selection; SPILKA fittings form part of the window construction. Also describe everyday-use features, such as a high sill, deep reveal or built-in fixtures that may affect access to the handle.

Finally, check that your enquiry includes the product name, position reference, dimensions, material, any aluminium cladding, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern and handle preference. Add relevant installation information without assuming technical properties yourself. An organised summary makes follow-up questions more focused and helps us understand your required configuration clearly. This turns individual choices into a traceable enquiry for your made-to-measure pivot window.
