Bloomcabin 1 fixed glazed section and 1 opening sash without decorative bars. For a historic outward-opening side-hung Kombi window with understated character, this design brings together one fixed glazed section and one opening sash without decorative bars. Its uncomplicated glazed surfaces keep the emphasis on the classic two-part arrangement, making it an appealing choice where a quieter window design is required.
Why choose this Bloomcabin design?
One fixed glazed section and one opening sash are presented without decorative bars. This pared-back arrangement lets the two principal sections define the appearance, giving the window a clean and restrained profile.
The opening sash provides everyday ventilation, while the adjacent fixed glazed section completes the window composition. Their simple side-by-side relationship offers a practical layout without added divided-light detailing.
The combination of fixed and opening glazing contributes to an energy-efficient, comfortable window design.
Ideal for historic outward-opening side-hung Kombi window projects requiring a straightforward two-section composition. With no decorative bars, it suits elevations where simple glazing lines are preferred while retaining a separate opening sash for ventilation. The design uses two clearly defined sections.

Our Historic-Style Kombi Outward-Opening Side-Hung Window combines a fixed glazed section with an opening sash in a made-to-measure format. It gives you a clear set of decisions to make: pine or oak, 2- or 3-pane glazing, a decorative-bar pattern, colour and handle.
Start with the way you want the window to open and look in its setting. From there, compare the glazing patterns carefully, because the relationship between the fixed section and opening sash has a strong influence on the finished design. Accurate opening information then brings those choices together in a window made for your project.
This guide explains what to compare at each stage, including practical outward-opening clearance, the construction details, glazing choice, measurements and the alternative window or door formats you may wish to consider.
01
Type: Outward-opening sash.
This is a side-hung window with a sash that opens outwards. From inside, you operate your chosen handle and move the sash away from the room, so the opening action does not require the sash to swing across the internal floor or worktop area. Outside, however, the sash needs unobstructed space throughout its movement. Consider the immediate exterior rather than looking only at the opening itself.
A kitchen window provides a useful example. If you plan to place it above a worktop, consider whether you can reach the handle naturally without stretching across a deep surface or moving everyday items. Then look outside at the same position and check that the projecting sash will have room to open. This connects handle reach, internal access and external movement in one practical decision.
The window includes a fixed glazed section as well as the opening sash. Think about which part you expect to operate regularly and where you will stand when using it. If furniture, a work surface or another permanent room feature sits nearby, you could mark the intended handle position on the wall before settling on the window location. Your chosen handle should then be considered as an everyday touchpoint as well as part of the appearance.
02
Material: Pine or oak; Hardware: SPILKA, IPA; Mounting holes: 14 mm; Frame: 105 × 57 mm; Sash: 76 × 65 mm.
The timber choice is pine or oak. When comparing them, decide whether one timber is already established elsewhere in your project or whether this window will set the direction for other openings. The chosen colour will also affect how prominently the timber contributes to the finished appearance, so consider material and finish together rather than selecting them as unrelated details.
The adjoining specification sets out the frame and sash dimensions, the mounting-hole dimension and the SPILKA and IPA hardware. Keep each of those details attached to this specific window when discussing the opening with the person fitting it. They should be assessed against the actual installation position rather than replaced with assumptions based on another window format.
It is particularly important not to transfer construction details from a pivot window, an inward-opening window or a patio door simply because the products may be used on the same building. Their format names describe different opening arrangements. Use this window’s stated frame, sash, hardware and mounting information when planning for this product, and compare other formats on their own terms.
For a coordinated project, you could first choose between pine and oak across the relevant windows and doors, then use colour and glazing pattern to create distinction where wanted. If this is a single replacement window, compare the material with the visible features that will remain around it. The useful question is not which timber is universally preferable, but which option belongs in your particular scheme.
03
Glazing: 2- or 3-pane glazing unit with heat-reflective coating, warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas; Glazing seals: Black rubber.
You can choose a 2- or 3-pane glazing unit. Whichever pane count you consider, read it as part of the complete glazing specification: the unit includes a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer identified as CHR and argon gas. The glazing uses black rubber seals.
Begin with the requirements established for the room and the wider building specification. Ask the person planning the project whether a 2-pane or 3-pane unit is appropriate for that location, and make sure the answer refers to this made-to-measure window. The pane count should be an intentional project choice, not an assumption based on the number of decorative divisions visible in the design.
Decorative bars and glazing panes answer different questions. A pattern with several horizontal or vertical bars may look as though it has numerous small glazed areas, but your glazing-unit choice remains between the stated 2- and 3-pane options. Compare pane count for the glazing specification; compare bars for the visual pattern across the fixed section and sash.
The glazing specification includes black rubber seals. Choose the pane count required for your project, then coordinate the timber, colour and decorative-bar pattern.

Nine glazing layouts are available: 1 fixed glazed section and 1 opening sash without decorative bars; 1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars and 1 sash with 1 horizontal decorative bar; 1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars and 1 sash with 1 vertical decorative bar; 1 fixed glazed section with 1 vertical decorative bar and 1 sash with 1 vertical decorative bar; 1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars and 1 sash with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar; 1 fixed glazed section with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar and 1 sash with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar; 1 fixed glazed section with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar and 1 sash with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bars; 1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars and 1 opening sash with 1 horizontal and 2 vertical decorative bars; or 1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars and 1 sash with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar.
The simplest pattern is “1 fixed glazed section and 1 opening sash without decorative bars”. It gives both sections uninterrupted glazing and keeps attention on the basic relationship between the fixed panel and opening sash. Choose it if you prefer the glazing itself to remain visually clear of a bar arrangement.
The design “1 Fixed Glazed Section without Decorative Bars; 1 Sash with 1 Horizontal Decorative Bar” introduces a single horizontal line only on the opening part. By contrast, “1 Fixed Glazed Section without Decorative Bars; 1 Sash with 1 Vertical Decorative Bar” leaves the same fixed section clear but gives the sash a vertical emphasis. Compare these one at a time by deciding whether you want the opening sash to read as stacked areas or side-by-side areas.
For a repeated vertical arrangement, consider “1 Fixed Glazed Section with 1 Vertical Decorative Bar; 1 Sash with 1 Vertical Decorative Bar”. The matching vertical bar in each section creates a more consistent rhythm across the complete window. If you want a combined grid only on the opening section, “1 Fixed Glazed Section without Decorative Bars; 1 Sash with 1 Horizontal and 1 Vertical Decorative Bar” keeps the fixed glass undecorated while crossing one horizontal and one vertical line on the sash.
The pattern “1 Fixed Glazed Section with 1 Horizontal and 1 Vertical Decorative Bar; 1 Sash with 1 Horizontal and 1 Vertical Decorative Bar” repeats the same combined arrangement across both parts. It is the more unified choice if you want the fixed and opening sections to share a comparable grid. Look at the whole width when assessing it, rather than judging the sash in isolation, because the repetition is the principal visual feature of this design choice. “1 Fixed Glazed Section with 1 Horizontal and 1 Vertical Decorative Bar; 1 Sash with 2 Horizontal and 1 Vertical Decorative Bars” keeps the combined pattern on the fixed section but adds another horizontal division to the sash. This creates a deliberate difference in density between the two parts. Alternatively, “1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars, 1 opening sash with 1 horizontal decorative bar and 2 vertical decorative bars” places all of the pattern on the sash and gives that sash a broader vertical subdivision. Finally, “1 fixed glazed section without decorative bars, 1 sash with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar” also leaves the fixed area clear, but builds the sash pattern with more horizontal divisions. Compare these denser sash designs by asking whether repeated horizontal or vertical lines suit the neighbouring architecture more closely.

Suppose you are replacing an existing window while retaining the surrounding wall finish. The useful dimensions are those between the finished surfaces that will define the new opening, not simply a familiar name for the old window size. Establish which visible or concealed parts of the existing installation will remain, then measure between the surfaces that will actually surround the new product.
Share those opening dimensions with the person fitting the window and agree the required manufacturing size before placing your order. This step matters because an opening measurement and a manufacturing measurement are not interchangeable labels. The fitter needs to relate the prepared opening to this window’s stated frame and mounting details, taking responsibility for the installation arrangement rather than leaving you to infer it.
For a new wall, use the same principle at the correct stage of planning. Identify the intended finished surfaces around the opening and avoid treating an unfinished structural gap as though it were automatically the final size. If finishes have not yet been applied, their intended position still needs to be allowed for when the manufacturing size is agreed.
Record the width and height clearly and keep their orientation unmistakable when passing them on. If different people are preparing the wall, specifying the window and fitting it, ask them to work from the same agreed opening information. That gives your made-to-measure choice a reliable basis without relying on nominal sizes taken from another product or property.
06
One visual direction is to keep the window restrained. You could choose the pattern without decorative bars, then select a colour that sits comfortably with nearby window frames, external trim or other established features. Inside, consider the same colour beside the wall finish and the materials that immediately surround the opening. This approach lets the division between the fixed section and opening sash provide the main structure.
A contrasting direction is to make the historic-style pattern more prominent. A repeated horizontal-and-vertical arrangement across both sections creates a stronger grid, while a clear fixed section paired with a decorated sash gives the two parts different visual roles. If the facade already contains repeated horizontal or vertical lines, consider whether your chosen pattern should follow that direction or introduce a deliberate counterpoint.
Colour can either link the window to its surroundings or help define it as an individual feature. Because you can choose a colour, compare your preferred option outdoors against neighbouring windows, doors and architectural details, then consider it again from the room. Light and surrounding materials differ across those viewpoints, so a selection that feels quiet on the facade may appear more noticeable inside, or vice versa.
The handle is another selectable detail, but it belongs to the opening sash rather than the overall facade pattern. Consider how it relates to your colour and to the other handles visible in the room. If coordination is your priority, use a small number of repeated visual decisions across the project. If you want this window to stand apart, concentrate the distinction in either the colour or bar pattern so that the composition remains considered.
07
First compare opening direction. This Historic-Style Kombi Window is side hung and opens outwards. If you want an outward-opening window but prefer a pivot format, compare the Single-Sash Outward-Opening Vertical Pivot Window and the Two-Sash Outward-Opening Vertical Pivot Window. Their names also let you decide whether a single- or two-sash arrangement is the more relevant starting point.
If outward projection does not suit the location, compare the Single-Sash Inward-Opening Window or the Two-Sash Inward-Opening Window. The essential choice is between an outward action that uses exterior space and an inward format that uses room-side space. Consider the actual surroundings on both sides of the opening before deciding which family of products to explore in detail.
Where EI30 fire rating is part of the project requirement, direct your comparison to the EI30 Fire-Rated Inward-Opening Window or the EI30 Fire-Rated Outward-Opening Pivot Window. Their names distinguish both the stated fire-rated format and opening action. Do not treat a preferred historic-style pattern or opening direction as a substitute for the rating required by the project; establish the relevant product category first.
Finally, decide whether you need a window or a door format. The Single-Leaf Patio Doors – Outward Opening provide an outward-opening single-leaf door alternative. The Heritage-Style Single-Leaf Patio Doors – Outward Opening are the related option when a heritage-style door format is the closer comparison. If your priority is a window opening, remain with the window formats; if the opening is intended to function as a door, compare the patio-door products instead. Explore related windows and doors:

Make the final decision by naming one leading priority. It might be preserving room-side space with an outward-opening sash, achieving a particular decorative pattern, coordinating the timber and colour with the property, or meeting the glazing approach established for the project. Place that priority above secondary preferences so that attractive but unsuitable alternatives do not distract from the decision.
Next, compare only the options that satisfy it. For example, if the clear fixed section is central to the appearance, look at the patterns that leave that section without decorative bars and decide which sash treatment you prefer. If visual continuity is more important, focus instead on designs that repeat bars across both sections. Then complete the choice with pine or oak, the 2- or 3-pane glazing unit, colour and handle.
Before ordering, make sure the selected outward-opening action works in its setting and that the manufacturing size has been agreed from the finished opening information. If two preferences still compete, return to the one that will have the greatest effect on daily use or the overall facade. Once that is settled, contact us with your preferred configuration and we can discuss the choices available for this made-to-measure window.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Yes. We make this historic-style window to measure. The manufacturing size should be agreed from the prepared opening dimensions, ideally with the person responsible for fitting the window.
You can choose pine or oak. Compare them as part of the complete appearance, including your chosen colour, glazing pattern and the other timber windows or doors around the property.
You can choose a 2- or 3-pane glazing unit. Both options use the specified heat-reflective coating, warm-edge spacer, argon gas and black rubber glazing seals. Confirm the suitable pane count with the person planning your building specification.
Yes. The patterns include designs without decorative bars and alternatives using horizontal bars, vertical bars or combinations of both. Some repeat the bars across both sections, while others keep the fixed section clear.
Yes. You can choose a colour and a handle. Consider them together with the timber, glazing pattern and nearby architectural features rather than treating either choice in isolation.
The sash is side hung and opens outwards. Before choosing its position, consider the clear space outside and whether you will be able to reach and operate the handle comfortably from inside.
Measure between the relevant finished surfaces and agree which layers form the final opening. Do not assume that an old frame size or an unfinished structural opening is automatically the required manufacturing size; confirm it with your fitter.
