01

Operation and everyday use

The defining operable part of this combination window is the outward-opening sash; the second light remains fixed glazed. In everyday use, you operate only the designated sash, while the fixed light is an immovable part of the overall composition. This clear division works well where one continuous window area should contain both an opening and a calm, fixed section. The available handle choice lets you select the operating element to suit the planned use and appearance of the window.

Because the sash moves outwards, it does not require an equivalent swing area inside the room when opened. This can matter when arranging items on the interior side. The external area is also part of the operating plan: before deciding, check that the intended installation situation suits the opening direction. Consider not only the wall opening itself, but also how the window will be used in your individual project. The opening type should therefore be decided early, rather than being determined later by the glazing bars or colour.

For clear planning, identify the fixed light and sash distinctly in your enquiry. A simple drawing from a stated viewing direction helps show both parts and the required glazing-bar pattern clearly. This is especially useful where the fixed light and sash have different divisions. Include the complete pattern name and show in the sketch how the described division should appear in the planned window view.

Handle selection forms part of the available configuration. SPILKA and IPA fittings are specified for the construction; the specific handle selection should be considered separately. In your enquiry, describe which handle suits your project and how the window will be used daily. Together with dimensions, frame material, colour, glazing and glazing-bar pattern, this provides a well-organised product selection.

Construction, materials and component dimensions

The frame is available in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. Specify the timber choice and whether aluminium cladding is required as one complete material description. Profiles vary by version. The outer frame is specified as 105 × 57 mm; with aluminium cladding, its component dimension is 115 × 57 mm. The sash frame is specified as 76 × 65 mm; with aluminium cladding, it is 86 × 65 mm. These are profile or component dimensions, not the overall dimensions of the window.

Installation drill holes are specified as 14 mm. This value describes the holes and must not be read as the wall-opening dimension or fixing spacing. Project-specific manufacturing dimensions are still needed to plan the complete window element. Because the product is made to measure, clearly distinguish overall window dimensions in your enquiry from the component dimensions listed here. A labelled dimensioned sketch is more informative than an unexplained string of numbers.

The window is designed for 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. The glazing includes a heat-reflective coating, warm edge (CHR) and argon fill; black rubber seals are used at the glass junction. The side-hung “Kombi” window is CE marked and carries a five-year guarantee. Record the required glazing construction separately in your enquiry from dimensions, material and design details.

SPILKA and IPA fittings are used in the construction. Made-to-measure manufacture plus colour and handle choice are among the configurable details. You can also choose the offered material version, glazing and a suitable glazing-bar pattern. Always state the material in full, for example pine with aluminium cladding or oak without aluminium cladding, so the required frame construction is unambiguous.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As the combination window can be made to measure, planning begins with a clearly documented building opening. Assign each dimension clearly instead of sending only a sequence of figures. A sketch should show the viewing direction from which it was created and identify the inside and outside. Mark the fixed light and sash according to the required arrangement. This makes dimensions, opening direction and window elevation understandable together.

Measure the opening at several suitable points so that any deviations in the existing building condition become visible. Published outer-frame, sash-frame and installation-hole dimensions do not replace project-specific information for the building opening and desired overall window size. Keep these three types of measurement separate and label every value clearly. This applies to existing buildings and new builds where the intended opening is already shown in planning documents.

For this product, opening direction is an essential part of planning. The sash moves outwards, so sufficient clear space for intended operation should be allowed outside. Check existing or planned components and objects there that could interfere with its movement. The specific installation situation is decisive: the outward-opening concept should suit both the built surroundings and the intended use of the window.

Add the selected glazing-bar pattern directly to the same elevation that identifies the fixed light and sash. This makes dimensions and design details easier to compare. If the opening is irregular or has special junction conditions, show this clearly in the project description and sketch. Well-organised documentation keeps building-opening dimensions, required overall window dimensions and published profile dimensions separate, making your enquiry easier to assess accurately.

06

Colour, material and visual composition

The appearance of the combination window results from the interaction of material, colour, glass areas and glazing bars. Pine and oak are each available as a timber version or with aluminium cladding. Do not abbreviate these material descriptions, because the aluminium cladding is linked to the selected timber species. Which version suits your project is a design decision you can make in relation to internal and external views and the existing architecture.

A colour choice is available. State your preferred colour as precisely as possible and link it to the selected material version. Assess the desired colour from both inside and outside, and in relation to the architecture. A labelled schedule or elevation sketch is particularly helpful where several windows are to be integrated into an existing colour and façade concept.

The relationship between fixed light and sash shapes the overall appearance. A fixed light without glazing bars can appear as one large, calm surface, while glazing bars in the sash create a finer order. When both sections are divided similarly, the composition can appear more regular. Different glazing-bar patterns deliberately create different visual weighting. This design effect is best assessed with a simple façade elevation that also considers adjacent lines, openings and building elements.

Handle choice also forms part of the visible window composition and should be considered separately from the fittings. State the required handle together with material, colour and glazing-bar pattern in a concise project summary. This makes it easier to assess whether the individual decisions support the same design direction. The black rubber seals form the technical glass junction; frame material, colour, glass areas and glazing-bar division are particularly important to the overall appearance.

Compare related product types purposefully

The side-hung “Kombi” window combines a fixed light with an outward-opening sash. If this basic form does not suit the intended opening, it is worth comparing other window and door types in our range. Start with key project questions: is this for a façade or roof, should the element open inwards or outwards, and are one or two movable sashes, or a patio door, required? You can then compare materials, glazing and design across the suitable product type.

For a roof opening, a pivot roof window with a bottom-mounted operating handle is available. For outward-opening façade windows, single- or double-sash reversible windows with a vertical pivot axis may offer an alternative to the fixed-light-and-sash combination. Like the Kombi model, these windows are available in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding, and with 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. Available glazing-bar patterns differ by product type.

Where the window must open inwards, single- and double-sash options with tilt function are available. Both are offered in pine or oak, each with optional aluminium cladding, and use 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. For fire-resistance requirements, there is also a separate inward-opening EI30 oak window with 2-pane insulating glass. Establish the suitable category before selecting details, based on the intended opening type and use.

For access to a patio, consider single-sash outward-opening patio doors rather than a window. They are available in a standard version and a historical-style version. Depending on the version, the named design patterns include undivided glazing, horizontal or vertical glazing bars, and combinations of glazing and panel. Alongside appearance, compare whether your project needs an operable window or a full patio access door.

The following related products provide an overview of suitable alternatives for roof openings, inward- or outward-opening façade windows, EI30 requirements and patio access: Pivot roof window, Single-sash reversible window with vertical pivot axis, outward-opening, Double-sash reversible window with vertical pivot axis, outward-opening, Single-sash inward-opening window, Double-sash inward-opening window, EI30 inward-opening fire window, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Historical-style single-sash outward-opening patio door.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Begin your enquiry with a short project description and confirm that you require an outward-opening combination window with fixed light and sash. Describe the intended installation situation and add a simple window elevation. Always state whether the drawing is viewed from inside or outside. This allows the required composition, opening direction and built surroundings to be assessed together from the outset.

Then add the required manufacturing dimensions and distinguish them clearly from building-opening dimensions and published profile information. A labelled sketch can bring together dimension lines, fixed light, sash, inside and outside, plus viewing direction in one document. Use metric units consistently and avoid unlabelled individual figures. Any special features of the opening or adjacent building elements should also be clearly shown in the drawing or project description.

Next, select the full material version: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Add your colour preference and required handle version as separate points. This makes clear which information concerns frame construction, colour effect and operating element. SPILKA and IPA fittings are technical product specifications and should not be confused with the available handle choice.

Then state the required 2- or 3-pane insulating-glass construction and use the complete name of the selected glazing-bar pattern. Check that the fixed light and sash in your sketch are divided as shown in the chosen pattern. Where the sections have different divisions, it should be clear which glazing bars belong to the fixed light and which belong to the sash. A stated viewing direction avoids confusion between internal and external views.

Finally, check that opening type, dimensions, material version, colour, glazing construction, glazing-bar pattern and handle choice are complete and consistent. Ensure all drawings are labelled and that building-opening dimensions, required overall window dimensions and profile dimensions remain clearly separate. Such a structured enquiry gives us a clear overview of your project and helps us configure your made-to-measure side-hung “Kombi” window precisely.

Which material versions can I enquire about?

The side-hung “Kombi” window is available in pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Include your preferred material version together with the other project details in your enquiry.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes. Colour choice is among the available purchase decisions. As the desired effect depends on material, glazing-bar pattern and surroundings, state your colour preference as clearly as possible together with the selected material version.

Is there a choice of handle?

A handle choice is available. Include your preferred handle directly in the enquiry so it can be considered alongside material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern and dimensions. The named fitting brands do not constitute a guaranteed choice of brand.

How long is the guarantee for the combination window?

The side-hung “Kombi” window has a five-year guarantee. Keep your order documents and complete product specification so the selected version, including dimensions, material, colour, glazing, glazing-bar pattern and handle, is clearly recorded.

Can the fixed light and sash have different divisions?

Yes. You can select a glazing-bar pattern in which the fixed light and sash are divided differently. For example, an undivided fixed light can be combined with a sash divided by horizontal or vertical glazing bars. Select one of the available patterns.

Is the combination window suitable for an individual building opening?

Made-to-measure manufacture allows the window to be matched to the intended building opening. We need reliable opening dimensions and a clear description of the installation situation. Also allow for the outward movement of the sash when planning.

Is aluminium cladding available with both pine and oak?

Both timber types are listed in versions with aluminium cladding. It is important to specify not only “aluminium”, but also the required timber species. This makes clear whether pine or oak forms the basis of your selection.

What should I do if another opening type is required?

First check the required operating direction. This combination window opens outwards. For other installation situations, compare it with inward-opening windows, outward-opening reversible windows or a pivot roof window. The decisive factors are installation location, opening direction and the number of movable sashes required.
