Bloomcabin 2 sashes without decorative bars. 2 sashes without decorative bars is a historic side-hung window with two outward-opening sashes. The plain glazed design gives its paired form a restrained, period-conscious appearance with uninterrupted visual clarity.
Why choose this Bloomcabin design?
Without decorative bars, the two sashes present broad, uninterrupted glazed areas. This simple arrangement lets the historic side-hung window's balanced proportions remain the focus, producing an understated and elegant appearance.
Both sashes are side hung and open outwards, preserving the characteristic format of this historic window design. Their paired layout offers a symmetrical frontage with a clear, traditional sense of order.
This historic side-hung window is designed to support a comfortable interior and an energy-efficient home. Select the configuration that best reflects your project requirements and architectural approach.
A natural choice for historic-style projects and period-conscious renovations where an unfussy paired glazed layout is preferred. The two outward-opening sashes offer a restrained design that can sit comfortably within traditional architecture. Balanced proportions make it easier to coordinate the design with the architecture and the intended appearance of the facade.

Our Historic-Style Two-Sash Outward-Opening Side-Hung Window combines a clearly defined opening format with choices you can adapt to your project. Its two side-hung sashes open outwards, leaving you to decide whether that action suits the available exterior space and the way you expect to use the window.
We make every window to measure. You can choose pine or oak, 2-pane or 3-pane glazing, a colour, a handle and one of the listed decorative-bar patterns. Those decisions affect different aspects of the finished result, so it helps to consider them separately before bringing them together as one configuration.
This guide takes you through the practical and visual choices in order. Use it to compare opening formats, prepare the right information for sizing and identify which combination best supports your main project priority.
01
Product type: two-sash window with outward-opening, side-hung sashes.
This is a two-sash, side-hung window, and both sashes open outwards. The opening movement therefore takes place beyond the exterior face rather than into your room. That can be useful when you want to keep the interior immediately beside the window free from an inward-moving sash, but it makes the space outside an important part of your decision. Look across the full area into which the sashes will move and consider anything that could interrupt their path.
Think through one ordinary use of the room before deciding. For example, if the window is above a worktop, desk or other fixed interior feature, stand where you would normally operate it and consider whether the handle will be comfortable to reach. Then look outside from the same point: planting, exterior furniture or nearby building features should not occupy the space required by the outward-opening sashes. This single check connects your interior reach, the sash movement and clear access to the opening.
Your handle choice is part of everyday usability as well as appearance. Consider the available handles from the position where you will actually stand, particularly if the lower part of the opening is set behind furniture or another room feature. If comfortable operation is your leading concern, settle the practical operating position and confirm the outward clearance before focusing on colour or decorative bars.
02
Material: Pine or oak; Hardware: SPILKA, IPA; Mounting holes: 14 mm; Frame: 105 × 57 mm; Sash: 76 × 65 mm.
The frame and sashes are available in pine or oak. Begin by comparing the timbers as part of the complete window rather than treating the material as a separate decorative sample. Consider which one better suits the character you want for the room and exterior, especially where the window will sit beside other visible timber features. Your colour choice will also influence how prominent the underlying material feels within the overall design.
The adjoining construction specification gives the precise frame, sash and mounting-hole dimensions for this product, together with the SPILKA and IPA hardware information. Keep those details with the window specification when discussing installation. They allow the person fitting the product to assess it as the actual made-to-measure unit rather than relying on assumptions based on another historic-style window.
When choosing between pine and oak, establish what you are trying to coordinate. You might prioritise continuity with other timber elements, or you might place greater importance on the selected colour and the pattern across the two sashes. There is no need to make every visible feature equally prominent: if the decorative arrangement is intended to lead the design, consider a timber and colour combination that supports it rather than competing with it.
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 select a 2-pane or 3-pane glazing unit. Both choices come with a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas, so compare the pane options within that complete specification. The glazing seals are black rubber, which is also worth noting when you review the glass beside your preferred frame colour and decorative-bar arrangement.
Pane count should be matched to the requirements of the building rather than chosen from the name alone. If the window is part of a new wall, ask the person planning the project to confirm which glazing option fits the intended specification. For a replacement, compare the available 2-pane and 3-pane units against the requirements established for that opening. Where thermal considerations are the main priority, use the project’s required performance as the basis of the decision rather than assuming that every building needs the same configuration.
The coating, spacer, gas and seals are components of the whole glazing build-up; they are not substitutes for confirming what your project needs. Share the full product specification with the person responsible for the building design or installation, including the pine or oak construction and the made-to-measure size. Once the suitable pane option is established, you can concentrate on the more visual question of whether the glass should remain uninterrupted or be divided by decorative bars.
04
Available design patterns: 2 sashes without decorative bars; 2 outward-opening sashes with 1 horizontal decorative bar; 2 sashes with 1 vertical decorative bar; 2 sashes with 2 horizontal decorative bars; 2 sashes with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar; 2 sashes with 1 horizontal and 2 vertical decorative bars; 2 sashes with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar; 2 opening sashes with 1 horizontal decorative bar and 3 vertical decorative bars.
For the simplest appearance, choose “2 sashes without decorative bars”. It keeps the glass areas free from the listed horizontal and vertical divisions, allowing the two-sash construction itself to define the composition. Consider this design when you want the historic-style format to read clearly without adding a smaller pattern across each sash.
The design “2 outward-opening sashes with 1 horizontal decorative bar” introduces one horizontal line, while “2 sashes with 2 horizontal decorative bars” creates a more strongly layered arrangement. Compare them at the proportions of your actual made-to-measure opening: a single horizontal bar gives a quieter division, whereas two horizontal bars create a more panelled rhythm. If neighbouring windows already have clear horizontal lines, consider which of these named designs relates to them most closely.
For a vertical emphasis, “2 sashes with 1 vertical decorative bar” adds one vertical division to the two-sash format. If you prefer additional vertical detail alongside a horizontal line, “2 sashes with 1 horizontal and 2 vertical decorative bars” develops a denser vertical rhythm. The most divided option in this direction is “2 opening sashes with 1 horizontal decorative bar and 3 vertical decorative bars”, where three vertical bars combine with one horizontal bar to create the busiest listed grid.
Two further combined designs balance the directions differently. “2 sashes with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar” uses one bar in each direction for an even, straightforward cross-pattern. “2 sashes with 2 horizontal and 1 vertical decorative bar” gives greater emphasis to the horizontal divisions while retaining one vertical bar. Compare these complete named patterns one at a time; changing either the number or direction of the bars alters the overall rhythm, so avoid choosing from the bar count without looking at the full arrangement.
05
Because we make this window to measure, the opening information must lead to an agreed manufacturing size. Imagine that you are replacing an existing window: once the relevant surrounding surfaces are finished and identifiable, measure between those finished surfaces rather than from an unfinished edge that will later be covered. Record the opening consistently, then give those measurements to the person who will fit the new window.
The fitter can use the actual opening information alongside the product’s frame and mounting specification to determine the correct manufacturing dimensions. Do not treat the measured opening and the size to be ordered as automatically interchangeable. The relationship between them needs to be agreed for the particular installation, so confirm the final width and height before placing the made-to-measure order.
The same principle applies in a new wall, although the sequence may differ. Establish which surfaces define the finished opening and ask the person responsible for the build to confirm them. If finishes are still to be added, make sure their effect is included when the manufacturing size is decided. A clear agreement at this stage is more useful than taking repeated measurements from surfaces that do not represent the final opening.
06
One visual direction is to make the window a calm part of the architecture. You could choose a colour that relates closely to neighbouring exterior features and select “2 sashes without decorative bars” or one of the less divided patterns. Inside, consider how that colour sits beside the wall and any visible timber details. This approach lets the two-sash shape provide the main structure without asking every component to stand out.
Alternatively, you could make the historic-style pattern more pronounced. A design with both horizontal and vertical decorative bars will create a more detailed grid, while a contrasting colour choice may give the frame and sash arrangement greater visual presence. If this is your preferred direction, compare the window with the whole façade rather than a small sample. Rooflines, nearby windows and doors can all affect whether the selected pattern feels balanced or overly busy.
The handle belongs to the interior view as well as to daily use. Consider whether you want it to blend with nearby room details or act as a distinct accent, but keep comfortable reach in the decision. On the exterior, assess the colour, two-sash proportions and decorative-bar design together. If several windows are visible at once, you could coordinate their main lines; if this window stands apart, you may prefer to let its own opening proportions guide the pattern.
Pine or oak provides another point of coordination, but you do not need to match every material and colour already present. Decide which relationship matters most: continuity with neighbouring windows, connection to interior timber, or a more defined historic-style feature on the façade. Giving one of these aims priority will make the colour, handle and pattern choices easier to resolve.
07
Begin by comparing the opening arrangements. This window has two outward-opening, side-hung sashes. The Historic-Style Kombi Outward-Opening Side-Hung Window instead combines one fixed glazed section with one opening sash in its listed designs. Compare these formats when deciding whether you want both sashes to open or would prefer an arrangement that brings an opening sash and fixed glazing together.
If a pivoting format is more relevant, the Pivot Roof Window is a pine roof window with aluminium cladding, 2-pane glazing and a handle at the bottom. The Single-Sash Outward-Opening Vertical Pivot Window and Two-Sash Outward-Opening Vertical Pivot Window are outward-opening vertical-pivot alternatives in single-sash and two-sash formats. Start with the intended location and number of sashes, then review the material, glazing and made-to-measure choices for the individual product.
Where inward movement is more suitable for the available space, compare the Single-Sash Inward-Opening Window and Two-Sash Inward-Opening Window. Both are inward-opening formats with a tilt function, while their names distinguish the number of sashes. The two-sash range also includes listed arrangements with fixed glazed sections. Check the complete design of the relevant product rather than assuming that changing the opening direction leaves every other detail unchanged.
For an opening intended as a doorway rather than a window, compare the Single-Leaf Patio Doors – Outward Opening and the Heritage-Style Single-Leaf Patio Doors – Outward Opening. Both are outward-opening, single-leaf patio-door formats with listed decorative-bar and glazed-panel designs. Their material choices differ: the first is available in pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak, while the heritage-style version is available in pine or oak. Keeping the product type, material and required opening action clear will help you make a more useful comparison. Explore related windows and doors:

Make the final choice by naming one main project priority. It might be the outward-opening action, a particular decorative rhythm, coordination with neighbouring features or meeting the glazing specification established for the building. Compare every option against that priority first. This prevents a secondary preference, such as a handle or colour considered on its own, from pulling the configuration away from what the opening and room actually require.
If two preferences compete, test them in sequence. For example, if you like a strongly divided pattern but also want a quieter façade, compare one combined horizontal-and-vertical design with a less divided arrangement at the actual opening proportions. Choose the one that serves your main aim, then use the colour, timber and handle choices to support that result.
Once you have decided on pine or oak, 2-pane or 3-pane glazing, a decorative-bar design, colour and handle, bring those selections together with the agreed manufacturing dimensions. If you are uncertain between two configurations, contact us with your leading priority and the options you are comparing. We can help you focus the choice without losing sight of how you will use the window.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Yes. We make this window to measure, so its manufacturing dimensions can be agreed for your particular opening. Use measurements taken between the relevant finished surfaces, and confirm the required manufacturing size with the person fitting the window before you order.
You can choose either pine or oak. Compare them in the context of your room, façade and preferred finish rather than considering the timber in isolation. If you have other timber features nearby, decide whether you want the window to coordinate with them or provide a deliberate contrast.
Yes. This window is available with either a 2-pane or 3-pane glazing unit. Both options include a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas. Ask the person planning your building which option suits the project specification.
Yes. There are several listed patterns, ranging from two sashes without decorative bars to combinations of horizontal and vertical decorative bars. Compare each complete pattern against the proportions of the opening and neighbouring windows before choosing.
The two side-hung sashes open outwards. Check the clear space outside the window across the full path of the sashes, and consider whether planting, external furniture or another part of the building could obstruct everyday opening.
Yes. You can choose a colour and a handle. Consider these choices together with the pine or oak construction, decorative-bar pattern, interior features and neighbouring exterior details so that the finished window reads as one coordinated design.
Consider whether you want two outward-opening, side-hung sashes or a different format. Our related options include Kombi, pivot, vertical-pivot and inward-opening windows, as well as outward-opening single-leaf patio doors. Start with the opening action and product format your space requires.
