01

Operation and everyday use

The pivot roof window is operated using a moving pivoting sash. Its handle is positioned at the bottom, creating the specified operating point for this window type. Choosing a handle changes the handle design, not its position on the lower part of the sash. Consider this arrangement early when planning window height and future room use.

How easily the bottom-mounted handle can be reached depends on the installation. Ceiling height, window position, internal linings and items in front of the window can all matter. Consider who will use the window regularly and whether the operating point is practical in daily life. These details supplement opening dimensions and help define your requirements clearly.

The available handle options let you incorporate this fitting into the overall design. Depending on the room scheme, you may prefer a discreet handle or one that stands out as a visible detail. Include the desired effect and your colour preference in your enquiry. We can check these details against the handle options available for this pivot roof window.

For regular use, operate the sash and handle only as intended and avoid unnecessary strain on the fitting. Match cleaning products to pine, aluminium cladding, glass and rubber seals. Gentle care protects the different surfaces and avoids products that could affect seals or visible components. Size, colour and handle can be selected independently to suit your project.

02

Construction, materials and component dimensions

The construction combines pine with aluminium cladding. The fixed frame has a component dimension of 87 × 36 mm. The sash frame with aluminium cladding is specified at 97 × 40 mm. These figures describe the respective frame components. They must not be read generally as the full window depth, width or height, and do not replace dimensions for the intended opening.

The pivot roof window has double glazing with a heat-reflective coating and argon gas fill. Black rubber seals are used as glazing seals. Seal colour differs from the selectable window colour: your colour choice applies to the ordered window finish, while the black rubber seals form part of the fixed glazing construction.

The pivot roof window has a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee, subject to its terms, and is CE marked. Any rights that apply under New Zealand consumer law remain separate from this commercial guarantee. Together with the material, glazing and frame-component details, this provides a clear basis for comparison. Keep the order documents so the selected version and its details can be identified later.

When planning, do not confuse frame component dimensions with the order size of the complete window. The 87 × 36 mm dimension belongs to the fixed frame, while 97 × 40 mm describes the sash frame with aluminium cladding. Made-to-measure work instead relies on clearly assigned project dimensions. Label your measurements so opening size, desired window size and frame values remain distinct.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Made-to-measure work begins with a clearly described opening. Record more than individual distances and check exactly where each measurement point is located. Unclear information can lead to component dimensions, opening dimensions and desired window size being confused. Note whether a figure describes the existing building opening or the desired overall window size. The frame values above are component dimensions and must not be used as substitutes.

Also assess the shape and condition of the intended installation situation. If edges do not appear parallel or the existing structure has unusual features, mention this in the enquiry. A single measurement cannot fully describe such deviations. Supporting sketches or photos can clarify the context, but do not replace careful measurement and assignment of the required dimensions.

The opening area also includes the space needed by the pivoting sash during use. Check whether fixed building elements, furniture, linings or other items could obstruct the intended movement area. Also consider whether the bottom-mounted handle will be practically reachable in its planned position. Include these points in your planning alongside the opening dimensions.

Also consider transitions to internal linings, junctions and adjacent building components. Their position can affect which reference points are useful for dimensions and how much space remains around the pivoting sash and lower operating handle. Show existing or planned items on your sketch so the building situation is clearly represented in the enquiry.

Finally, bring the information together in a clearly labelled schedule. Identify measurement points, units and their intended relationship to the window. If anything is uncertain, mark it openly as a question rather than treating an assumed value as fixed. This gives made-to-measure work a clear enquiry without mixing component dimensions and project dimensions.

Coordinating colour and visual composition

The pivot roof window is made from pine with aluminium cladding. A colour selection is available for the order, allowing you to coordinate the visible finish with your design scheme. Tell us your preferred colour or colour family and, if available, provide relevant project references. We can then check your preference against the colours offered for this pivot roof window.

For visual composition, consider the window alongside adjoining surfaces, existing timber components and other visible elements. Describe your preferred colour palette and design objective as accurately as possible. We can then compare your preference with the colour selection available for this pivot roof window.

The handle can also become a visible detail in the colour and material scheme. Decide whether it should blend quietly into the window’s appearance or work as a deliberate accent. Describe this preference with your colour choice; the specific handle version is then selected from the available options. Its position remains at the bottom of the pivoting sash.

The black rubber seals belong to the glazing construction, while window colour and handle are selectable design features. Consider these elements in the overall view without giving them the same design role. The heat-reflective coating is also part of the glazing, not a colour option. For a coordinated result, focus on the available window colour and handle version.

A coherent result starts with a clear priority: should the pivot roof window blend quietly into the surrounding design or act as a deliberate feature? Use your answer to describe the preferred colour and intended effect of the handle more precisely. Record these preferences with the design name so all visible decisions remain clearly connected.

07

Considering related window and door types

The related range includes windows and patio doors for different openings and operating concepts. For an initial selection, first consider the location, opening direction and required number of sashes. You can then compare materials, glazing and design. This keeps the pivot roof window as a clearly defined solution for the planned roof opening, while other product types serve their own purpose.

For façade openings, options include single- and double-sash inward-opening windows with a tilt function. There is also a double-sash outward-opening reversible window with a vertical pivot axis. These operating concepts differ from the pivot roof window and should be chosen for the particular installation situation. Size, colour and handle can be included as order options for all these related windows.

The range also includes fire-resistant windows expressly designated EI30: an inward-opening version and an outward-opening fire-resistant pivot window. Both are made from oak and have double glazing with a heat-reflective coating. If the EI30 classification is relevant to your project, choose the appropriately designated product type and consider it separately from the pivot roof window presented here.

Another option is an outward-opening Passive House window with triple glazing. For patio access, compare a single-sash outward-opening patio door with a corresponding historical-style version. Depending on the design, doors may be glazed or include glazing bars or panels. First establish the appropriate window or door function for each opening.

Use the following related products as a starting point for additional openings in your project. Compare every element by its own operation, materials, glazing and design options. If several product types are requested together, create a separate entry for each opening with its size, colour and handle preference. This keeps requirements clear even in larger projects. Double-sash reversible window, vertical pivot axis, outward opening, Single-sash inward-opening window, Double-sash inward-opening window, EI30 inward-opening fire-resistant window, EI30 outward-opening fire-resistant pivot window, Super Low Uw Passive House window, outward opening, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Historical-style single-sash outward-opening patio door.

Preparing your enquiry in a few steps

Start your enquiry with the full name RAS pivot roof window and assign it to the intended roof opening. This is especially helpful if other windows or doors are being planned at the same time. A short reference for each opening creates a clear structure and makes it easier to assign dimensions and design preferences to the correct element.

Then add the details for made-to-measure work. Refer to your prepared dimension schedule and state any recognisable features of the intended opening. You can add unresolved points as specific questions, allowing your enquiry to be assessed fully and unambiguously.

Next, record your colour preference as specifically as possible, for example by naming a colour family or referring to adjacent materials. We can then compare it with the colours available for the pivot roof window. Pine and aluminium cladding describe the material construction, so record the desired colour separately.

Add your handle preference and, if needed, describe the intended visual effect. We can compare your details with the available handle options. The specified position of the operating handle at the lower part of the sash remains unchanged.

Finally, check that the name RAS pivot roof window, its assignment to the opening, all dimensions and your preferences for colour and handle have been brought together completely. Add recognisable details of the building situation and mark open questions. Other window or door types should each have their own entry. This creates a clear enquiry separating project information from the desired product specification.

Can the pivot roof window be made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure manufacture is one of the available options. Send us the measured dimensions of the intended opening so the desired version can be requested clearly. Final assessment should always be based on the specific installation situation.

What colour can I choose for the window?

A colour selection is available for the pivot roof window. State your preferred colour or provide a relevant reference from your project when enquiring. We can compare it with the colours offered for this window version. The material construction, black glazing seals and window colour are separate features.

Is there a choice of operating handle?

A handle selection is one of the available order options. The operating handle is positioned at the bottom on this window type. Record your preferred handle version with the colour and size details in your enquiry without changing the described operating position.

What glazing does the pivot roof window have?

The window is fitted with double glazing. The glazing construction includes a heat-reflective coating and argon gas fill. Black rubber is used for the glazing seals. This specification is separate from the selectable window colour and handle version.

Is the pivot roof window CE marked?

Yes, the pivot roof window is CE marked. This marking is one of the fixed product details, along with its pine construction, aluminium cladding and double glazing.

What component dimensions are specified for the frames?

The fixed frame has a component dimension of 87 × 36 mm. The sash frame with aluminium cladding has a component dimension of 97 × 40 mm. These figures apply to the stated frame components and must not be confused with the overall or order dimensions of the made-to-measure pivot roof window.

How long is the guarantee for the pivot roof window?

The pivot roof window has a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee, subject to its terms. Any rights that apply under New Zealand consumer law remain separate. Keep the order documents showing size, colour and handle so the selected version remains clearly documented.

What details help with a specific enquiry?

Useful details include the dimensions of the intended opening, information about the building situation and your colour and handle preferences. Photos can support the description, but do not replace careful measurement or a project-specific assessment of the installation situation.
