01

Operation and everyday use

The pivot roof window is operated through a movable pivoting sash. Its handle is located at the bottom, providing the defined operating point for this window type. When choosing a handle, you select the style of the operating element; its position at the lower part of the sash remains unchanged. Consider this arrangement early when planning window height and later use of the room.

How easily the bottom-mounted handle can be reached depends on the particular installation. Room height, window position, internal linings and elements in front of the window can all matter. Consider who will use the window regularly and whether the planned operating point is practical to reach every day. These details complement the opening dimensions and help you define your requirements clearly.

The available handle selection lets you incorporate the operating element into the overall design. Depending on the room concept, you may prefer an understated handle or one that is seen as a visible detail. Tell us the preferred effect alongside your colour choice when making an enquiry. We will compare these details with the handle options offered for the pivot roof window.

For regular use, operate the sash and handle only as intended and avoid placing unnecessary strain on the operating element. Match cleaning methods to pine, aluminium cladding, glass and rubber seals. Gentle care protects the different surfaces and prevents unsuitable products from affecting 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 component dimensions of 87 × 36 mm. The sash frame with aluminium cladding is specified at 97 × 40 mm. These values describe the individual frame components. They must not be read generally as the depth, width or height of the complete window, nor do they replace dimensions for the intended opening.

The pivot roof window has double insulated glazing with a heat-reflective coating and argon gas filling. Black rubber seals are used as glazing seals. Their colour is distinct from the selectable window colour: your colour choice concerns the ordered window finish, while the black rubber seals form part of the specified glazing construction.

The pivot roof window carries a five-year warranty and is CE marked. Together with details of the materials, glazing and frame components, this provides a clear basis for product comparisons. Keep your order documents so that the selected version and its associated specifications can be identified clearly at a later date.

When planning, take care not to confuse frame component dimensions with the order size of the complete window. The 87 × 36 mm figure applies to the fixed frame, while 97 × 40 mm describes the sash frame with aluminium cladding. Clearly assigned project dimensions are relevant for made-to-measure production. Label your measurements so opening size, desired window size and frame values remain separate.

05

Assessing the intended opening carefully

Made-to-measure production begins with an opening that is described clearly. Record more than individual distances and check exactly where each measuring point is located. Ambiguous information can cause component dimensions, opening dimensions and the desired window size to be confused. State whether a measurement refers to the existing structural opening or the required overall window size. The frame values given 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 construction has particular features, mention this in your enquiry. A single measurement cannot fully describe such variations. Additional sketches or photographs can clarify the context, but they do not replace careful measurement and correct allocation of the required dimensions.

The opening area also includes the space required by the pivoting sash in use. Check whether fixed components, furniture, linings or other elements could obstruct the planned movement area. Consider too whether the bottom-mounted handle will be sensibly accessible in its planned position. Include these points in your planning together with the opening dimensions.

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

Finally, bring the measurements together in a clearly labelled schedule. Identify measuring points, units and the intended assignment to the window. If anything is uncertain, it is sensible to mark it openly as a question rather than treating an assumed value as fixed. Made-to-measure production can then proceed from a clear enquiry without mixing component dimensions with project measurements.

06

Coordinating colour and visual composition

The pivot roof window is made from pine with aluminium cladding. A colour selection is available for ordering, allowing you to coordinate the visible finish with your design concept. Tell us your preferred colour direction and, where available, suitable references from your project. We will then compare your request with the colours offered for this pivot roof window.

For visual composition, consider the window in relation to adjacent surfaces, existing timber components or other visible elements. Describe the desired colour direction and design aim as precisely as possible. We can then compare your request with the colour selection available for the pivot roof window.

The handle can also be included as a visible detail in the colour and material concept. Decide whether it should blend quietly into the window view or act as a deliberate accent. Describe this preference with your colour request; the specific handle version will then be 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 the window colour and handle are selectable design features. Consider these elements in the overall view without assigning them the same visual role. The heat-reflective coating is also part of the glazing, not a colour option. For a coordinated result, the offered window colour and handle version are therefore the central choices.

A harmonious result starts with a clear priority: should the pivot roof window blend quietly into the surrounding design or make a deliberate statement? Use your answer to describe the colour preference and desired visual effect of the handle more closely. Record these preferences with the design designation so every visible choice is presented in an understandable context.

Placing 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 are assigned to their own purpose.

For facade openings, options include single- and double-sash inward-opening tilt windows. 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 selected according to the individual installation situation. For all related windows mentioned, size, colour and handle can be included as purchasing choices in an enquiry.

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

Another alternative is an outward-opening passive-house window with triple insulated glass. For access to a patio, compare a single-sash outward-opening patio door with a corresponding historical-style version. Depending on the design, doors are available with glazing, glazing-bar arrangements and panel versions. First determine the appropriate window or door function for each opening.

Use the following related products as a starting point for further openings in your project. Compare each element according to its own operation, materials, glazing and design options. When several product types are requested together, list a separate assignment for every 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 fire-resistant window, inward-opening, EI30 fire-resistant pivot window, outward-opening, Super Low Uw passive-house window, outward-opening, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Single-sash outward-opening historical-style patio door.

Preparing your enquiry in a few steps

Start your enquiry with the complete designation RAS pivot roof window and assign it to the intended roof opening. This is especially useful when other windows or doors are being planned at the same time. A short identifier for each opening creates a clear structure and makes it easier to assign dimensions and design wishes to the correct element.

Then add the information for made-to-measure production. Refer to the measurement schedule you have prepared and state any identifiable features of the intended opening. You can add outstanding points as specific questions so your enquiry can be assessed fully and unambiguously.

Next, record your colour preference as specifically as possible, for example by stating the desired colour direction or referring to adjacent materials. We will compare this request with the colour selection available for the pivot roof window. Pine and aluminium cladding describe the material construction; record the desired colour as a separate choice.

Add your preference for the handle and, if needed, describe the desired visual effect. We will compare your details with the available handle selection. The defined position of the operating handle at the lower part of the sash remains unaffected.

Finally, check that the RAS pivot roof window designation, opening assignment, all dimensions and your colour and handle wishes have been brought together completely. Add identifiable features of the construction situation and mark unanswered questions. Other window or door types should each receive their own entry. This creates a clear enquiry in which project details and the requested product version remain distinct.

Can the pivot roof window be made to measure?

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

Which colour can I choose for the window?

A colour selection is available for the pivot roof window. Tell us the desired colour direction or a suitable reference from your project when making an enquiry. We will compare your request with the colours offered for this window version. Material construction, black glazing seals and window colour are treated as separate features.

Is there a choice of operating handle?

A handle selection is among the available purchasing choices. The operating handle is located at the bottom on this window type. Record your preferred handle version with the colour and dimensions in your enquiry without changing the stated operating position.

What glazing does the pivot roof window have?

The window is fitted with double insulated glazing. The glazing construction includes a heat-reflective coating and argon gas filling. Black rubber is used for the glazing seals. This specification is distinct from the selectable 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 specifications, together with pine and aluminium cladding and double insulated glazing.

What component dimensions are specified for the frames?

The fixed frame has component dimensions of 87 × 36 mm. The sash frame with aluminium cladding has component dimensions of 97 × 40 mm. These values apply to the named 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 warranty for the pivot roof window?

The pivot roof window has a five-year warranty. Keep the order documents stating size, colour and handle so the chosen version remains clearly documented.

Which details help with a specific enquiry?

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