Using the pivot sash every day

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

Open and close the window with a steady, deliberate movement. Avoid sudden pulling, pushing or forcing it further if you feel resistance. First check whether an object is within the swing area or 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 used regularly. As a handle choice is available, you can include this detail in your planning. It is not only about appearance: your own preferences for handling can also inform the selection. Choosing a handle does not change the window’s defined identity as an outward-opening pivot sash.

When closing, make sure the sash can meet the frame without objects in between. The black rubber glazing seals are part of the specified construction and should not be used as a grip or pulling surface. Visible components can be cleaned gently when needed; avoid harsh treatment or sharp tools on the frame, glass, seals and hardware.

How the outward movement fits everyday life depends on the installation location. In a kitchen, opening leaves the interior free of an inward-swinging sash, while sufficient space must be allowed outside. In a study, desks, shelves and access to the handle can inform the layout. Check the internal operating area and external swing space together.

02

Construction, components and technical dimensions

The construction combines pine with specialist thermal insulation material. The outer frame has a component dimension of 105 × 57 mm, and 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 overall window depth, width or height. The finished external size results from the made-to-measure enquiry.

14 mm mounting holes are provided. This dimension refers to the mounting holes, not the window order size or the building opening. For installation planning, record the actual opening, desired window size and proposed building connection separately. Clear dimension labels make coordination easier and prevent component dimensions from being confused with project dimensions.

The window is fitted with SPILKA hardware. The handle, however, is a selectable feature and can be specified to suit the desired appearance. Record your handle preference separately from the colour, window dimensions and glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry. This makes your preferred visible handle finish clear while the specified hardware and window opening type remain correctly assigned.

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

Technical dimensions are most useful when read as part of the complete picture. Frame components, sash, glazing, seals, hardware and mounting holes each have their own role. One measurement therefore does not automatically describe the entire installation situation. Made-to-measure sizing remains the central starting point, while component dimensions define the product’s fixed construction.

05

Assessing the proposed opening carefully

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

As made-to-measure production is available, the actual opening forms the basis for sizing. The technical component dimensions do not replace this assessment. Also consider the intended installation build-up and clarify what information is needed for the building connection. If you work with a qualified installer, agree the measurement method and dimensional reference before making your enquiry.

The sash opens outwards. Allow sufficient clear swing space on the exterior for its intended movement. Check for possible obstructions such as building projections, external fittings or other nearby elements. This check concerns the real movement area at the planned installation point, not the size of the interior room.

Access to the handle should also inform your assessment. Furniture, deep worktops or other internal elements can affect comfortable reach, even though the sash moves outwards. Include these project-specific conditions early in the window layout. The available handle choice can then be considered for the desired operation and visual design.

Finally, consider the opening alongside the desired glazing-bar composition. The same line pattern can look different in different window formats. A simple scaled drawing helps assess horizontal and vertical glazing bars in relation to the proposed window and adjacent building elements. Mark the window position, dimension and full glazing-bar pattern name on it.

Colour, linework and the overall visual composition

A colour choice is available for this passive house window, allowing the frame to sit within your project’s colour scheme. State your preferred shade as clearly as possible so we can record it alongside the dimensions, handle and glazing-bar pattern in your enquiry. For several windows, specify colours by position, especially where different designs are planned within one project.

Colour never works in isolation. It relates to the glass area, the width of visible frame sections and the linework of the glazing bars. A design without glazing bars can highlight the frame differently from a composition with several horizontal and vertical lines. Consider whether the shade should blend quietly into its setting or form a deliberate part of the façade’s visual division.

The handle also belongs to the visible overall composition. As a handle choice is possible, consider this detail alongside the window colour and glazing-bar pattern. Describe your preferred handle finish as precisely as possible and assign it to each relevant position where several windows are planned. The coordinated design features complement the outward-opening pivot sash and its defined construction.

The black rubber seals are part of the glazing and should not be confused with the selectable frame colour during colour planning. For a coherent design concept, the preferred shade, handle finish and glazing-bar linework are especially important. Consider these elements together with the glass area and window format so the made-to-measure window sits naturally within 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 bar. If the window should appear more divided, the named compositions with several horizontal or vertical glazing bars are available. A scaled sketch showing window format, colour and glazing-bar direction can help you describe the intended overall effect clearly.

Comparing suitable windows and doors for further openings

Where a project includes several openings, compare function, form, material and glazing. This passive house window combines an outward-opening pivot sash with pine, specialist thermal insulation material and triple insulated glazing. Fixed windows, other outward-opening window types or patio doors may suit the intended use of other positions better.

Fixed-glazed versions suit positions where no opening window function is required. Alongside a classic version, the related range includes round, half-round, triangular and sloping shapes. Depending on the product type, pine or oak and, in some cases, aluminium cladding are specified; these models may also offer double or triple insulated glazing. Check every opening against the features of its relevant product.

Among the other outward-opening windows, you can compare different sash concepts. The related pivot window and top-hung casement window are available with SPILKA hardware and double or triple insulated glazing, each with dimension, colour and handle choices. Material versions in pine, oak and aluminium cladding offer further possibilities where your project requires a different material or exterior finish.

For low-level or walk-through openings, the related range includes single-leaf outward-opening patio doors. The regular version offers 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 insulated glazing 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, opening window or patio door is needed. This creates a clear selection in which each element can be planned around its own function and specification.

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, casement windows, fixed glazing or doors. If your project contains several openings, give each position a short, clear reference so dimensions and design preferences remain reliably assigned to the right location.

Then gather the details required for made-to-measure production. Record measurements with clear labels and state whether they are measured opening dimensions or desired product dimensions. Add notes about the installation situation and available external swing space for the sash. An organised table or position list is particularly useful when several windows in different formats are planned.

Next, choose one of the precisely named glazing-bar patterns. Use the full design name in your enquiry where possible so horizontal and vertical glazing bars are not interchanged. If you include a sketch, it should use the same position reference as your dimensions. The sketch supports the written selection but does not replace the unambiguous name of the required pattern.

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

Finally, check every detail together: exact product name, position, dimensions, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle. Make sure the wording in notes, sketches and your enquiry matches, and that every measurement has a clear reference. This final check reduces misunderstandings and provides a clear basis for further discussion. Mark any unresolved design preferences and include them as separate questions in your enquiry.

Can the passive house window be ordered to measure?

Yes. The window is available made to measure. For your enquiry, we need carefully measured dimensions of the proposed opening. Also consider the installation situation and the space required by the outward-moving pivot sash during planning.

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 imaginable finish, please tell us your specific preferred shade. It can then be recorded clearly with the other project details in your enquiry.

Is the handle selectable?

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

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is made from pine combined with specialist thermal insulation material. The outer-frame component dimension is 105 × 57 mm and the sash-frame component dimension is 90 × 65 mm. The overall size of the made-to-measure window is specified separately to meet your project requirements.

Which glazing-bar designs are specified?

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

What opening type does this window have?

This window has an outward-opening pivot sash. The name describes this product’s fixed 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 insulated glass with a heat-reflective coating, warm edge in CHR specification and argon fill. Black rubber seals complete the fixed 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 about the architectural context if useful. This allows the selected features to be considered together without contradiction.
