01

Operation and everyday use

The single sash opens outwards as a casement window. Its direction of movement therefore differs from windows whose sashes swing into the room. During everyday use, the indoor area in front of the window is unaffected by the movement of the open sash. This can help when planning the room, but does not confirm suitability for particular furniture or window dressings. What matters is how the window is installed and used in your own setting.

For comfortable daily use, consider early on from which position you will operate the sash. The handle is selectable and can be chosen for practical reasons as well as to complement the window design. Please state your handle preference clearly in your enquiry. SPILKA and IPA are specified as fittings; they form part of the technical equipment and are not separate purchase options.

How often the window is opened and how easily the handle should be reached depend on the room and your habits. Check whether furniture, deep internal reveals or window dressings could make access to the operating point difficult. There should also be sufficient clear space outside for the sash to open. This brings interior planning and the building situation into consideration before you order.

Treat timber surfaces, glass and rubber seals as different materials when cleaning and maintaining the window. Choose cleaning products and tools that suit each surface, and avoid harsh products or abrasive equipment. Guide the sash steadily when opening and closing, and use the handle without unnecessary force. Also follow the care guidance for the timber and colour finish you choose.

02

Construction and component dimensions

The window comprises an outer frame and one sash frame. The outer frame is the fixed frame element, while the sash frame holds the moving sash. The component dimensions and installation-hole size are shown together in the specification summary. These values apply specifically to the stated parts. They should not be read as general depth, width or height dimensions for the complete window.

Pine and oak are available for the timber construction. The choice concerns more than the material name: it also affects the window’s natural appearance. Timber has its own grain and may vary in visible structure. These natural differences are inherent to the material and should be considered when coordinating with existing timber elements. A choice of colours is also available, so timber species and the intended colour effect can be considered together.

Outer frame, sash frame, glazing, seals and fittings together form the window’s construction. SPILKA and IPA are specified for the fittings. Timber species, colour and handle, by contrast, are features you can select in your enquiry. Keeping this distinction clear helps you compile technical product details and personal design preferences in an organised way.

For a made-to-measure window, component dimensions and the overall size must be distinguished. Profile details explain the construction of the frame elements, while the manufactured window size is matched to the intended opening. Individual profile values should therefore not be used alone for planning or installation. A complete dimensional basis requires details of the actual opening and building situation.

The window is CE marked and offered with a five-year warranty. For planning, these points should be considered separately from project-specific requirements. If you need particular technical values or documentation for your project, include them as specific questions in your enquiry. This allows the suitable version to be checked against your building’s requirements.

05

Assessing the intended window opening

Assess the actual opening carefully before making an enquiry. Since the sash turns outwards, not only the clear opening size matters. The external area must also be included in the planning. Reveals, external sills, railings, planting, fittings on other elements or structural projections may influence the situation. Whether these cause an obstruction must be checked against the actual arrangement.

Measure the opening at several suitable points and note any visible deviations. In older buildings, edges, reveals and junctions can be uneven. A single quickly taken measurement may therefore not represent the existing situation sufficiently. Also record whether this is an existing opening, a planned new-build junction or replacement of an existing window. This helps place the measurements in context.

Next, check the movement area for the outward-opening sash. The crucial consideration is the space actually available along its opening path. Look for possible obstacles, frequently used routes and immediately adjoining outdoor areas. These conditions can affect whether the window can be operated conveniently in its intended position each day.

Document the internal and external sides as clearly as possible. Notes or suitable photographs can show where junctions, wall build-ups or existing elements are located. Reliable dimensions should not, however, be derived from photographs alone. Measurements and visual documentation have different roles and only complement one another.

The dimensions of the outer frame, sash frame and installation holes apply to those components and do not automatically set the order size of the complete window. The dimensions and characteristics of the actual opening are therefore needed for made-to-measure manufacture. Resolve uncertainties about measurement, junctions or installation before ordering, and keep open questions separate from confirmed measurements. This keeps building information traceable and clearly linked to your design choices.

Colour, timber and visual composition

The visual effect of this window results from several connected choices. The single sash first establishes the basic composition. The selected glazing-bar pattern then structures the glass area, while timber species and colour determine how the frame sits within its setting. None of these decisions needs to be considered in isolation. A harmonious result is more likely when the façade, neighbouring windows, doors and visible interior surfaces are considered together.

You may choose between pine and oak. Pine and oak have different natural appearances. As timber is a natural grown material, its grain and visible structure should not be understood as a completely uniform printed surface. If your building already has timber elements, comparing their appearance can help with selection. This does not, however, promise an exact match with existing finishes.

The window colour can be selected to suit your project. Make your enquiry as clear as possible by stating an established colour reference or the desired colour direction. Consider the façade, adjoining elements and the effect indoors. When coordinating with existing surfaces, suitable references are more useful than broad descriptions such as “to match the existing finish”.

The glazing-bar pattern affects the rhythm and weighting of the glass area. A horizontal division can pick up existing horizontal façade lines, while a vertical division emphasises other proportions. Combined patterns create a denser grid. These are general design effects, not assurances of changes to spatial dimensions or light values.

The handle choice also contributes to visual coordination because it is an operating element seen regularly. Treat it as a separate selection point and describe your practical and design preferences. For a coherent overall composition, consider timber species, colour, glazing-bar pattern, glazing specification and handle together. The black rubber seals are part of the glazing specification, not a separately selectable colour feature.

Explore related window and door types

If one sash does not suit the planned window opening or façade layout, it is worth comparing a historic double-sash outward-opening casement window. It too is available in pine or oak and can be designed with different glazing-bar patterns. The main difference for your choice is the composition of two sashes instead of one.

The two combination casement windows combine a fixed-glazed panel with an outward-opening sash. A standard and a historic version are available. The historic combination window is offered in pine and oak; the standard combination window also has options with aluminium cladding. Both product types have their own glazing-bar layouts and are useful comparisons where a fixed panel and opening sash are required together.

Other installation situations can also be served by a centre-pivot roof window and single- or double-sash reversible windows with a vertical pivot axis. The centre-pivot roof window is made from pine with aluminium cladding and has a bottom-mounted handle. The reversible windows open outwards, are available in pine or oak, and can each also be chosen with aluminium cladding. Compare these operating methods directly with this window’s classic casement sash.

Where a low-level opening to a patio is planned, single-sash outward-opening patio doors are related product types to consider. The historic version is available in pine or oak, while the standard patio door also offers aluminium-clad options. Depending on the design, glazed versions, glazing-bar layouts and panel options are available.

First define the basic composition your project needs: one or two sashes, a fixed panel with sash, a roof window, a reversible design or a patio door. Then compare materials, glazing and the available design patterns. You will find the suitable related products directly below.

Prepare your enquiry in a few steps

Start by identifying the product clearly. Note that you are enquiring about the “Historic single-sash outward-opening casement window”. This makes it clear that you mean the single casement sash with historic styling, rather than a double-sash, combination or differently named window type.

Then bring together the building details. Provide the carefully measured dimensions of the intended opening and add notes on wall construction, junctions and noticeable irregularities. Keep measured values separate from estimates. If a detail is still unclear, mark it as an open point rather than replacing it with an apparently exact assumption.

Next, choose pine or oak and add your colour preference. Where possible, state an unambiguous colour reference or clearly described colour direction. If the window is to be coordinated with existing windows, doors or façade elements, suitable reference details or photographs can illustrate the desired effect.

Then specify the double- or triple-glazed insulated glass unit and required glazing-bar pattern. Use one of the listed descriptions for the layout wherever possible, so the number and direction of bars are clear. Add your handle preference as a separate selection point. SPILKA and IPA are technical product fittings and do not need to be expressed as a choice between two brands.

Finally, check whether your project needs special technical values or documents, and list these as specific questions. The window is CE marked and has a five-year warranty. A well-organised enquiry includes the product name, opening dimensions and characteristics, timber species, colour, glazing, glazing-bar layout, handle preference and any outstanding project requirements. This lets us capture your requirements for the made-to-measure window clearly and discuss them with you in a structured way.

Is the window made to measure?

Yes. The window is offered made to measure. For a useful enquiry, we need the dimensions of the intended opening and details of the installation situation. Made-to-measure manufacture does not replace professional assessment of whether the building conditions are suitable at the specific property.

Which timber species are available?

You can choose between pine and oak. Each timber species gives the window its own natural character. You can assess which version suits your project visually by considering the colour, glazing-bar pattern and existing building elements together.

Can I choose the window colour?

Yes, colour is one of the selectable features. Tell us your preferred colour direction or an established colour reference. For a harmonious choice, consider the façade, neighbouring windows and doors, as well as the desired effect inside the room.

Which glazing options are available?

You can choose a double- or triple-glazed insulated glass unit. Both constructions have a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas. The glazing that suits your project should be selected according to its specific requirements.

Is the window available with glazing bars?

Yes. Alongside the version without glazing bars, the patterns in the design section include horizontal and vertical glazing bars. This allows you to coordinate the layout specifically with the façade, room effect and neighbouring windows.

Is there a choice of window handle?

Yes, a handle choice is among the available purchase decisions. Tell us your practical and design preferences for the handle so we can consider them in your enquiry alongside timber species, colour, glazing and glazing-bar pattern.

Is the window CE marked?

Yes, the window is CE marked. If your building project also requires particular technical values or documentation, please list these as separate points in your enquiry.

How long is the window warranty?

The single-sash casement window has a five-year warranty. It is also CE marked.
