01

Everyday operation and care

The defining feature of this window is the movement of its single sash around a vertical pivot axis. Rather than operating like an ordinary side-hinged sash, it has a pivoting movement and opens outwards. In daily use, this means the intended movement should be considered during planning. This is not an unrestricted opening system, but a clearly specified window type with one sash and a vertical pivot axis.

The handle is one of the features you can select for your chosen configuration. Consider it both as an operating component and as a visible element of the window. The most suitable handle style depends on the intended interior view, material and frame colour. Fittings include components from SPILKA and IPA; specify your handle choice separately in your enquiry.

Calm, controlled operation is sensible in everyday use. Move the sash using the intended handle, and do not pull it by the glazing bars, glass or frame sections. Keep objects out of the movement area and use suitable care products on seals and coated or clad surfaces. Specific care guidance should always follow the material version ordered, as timber surfaces and aluminium cladding can have different finishes.

Where several people use the window, consistent operation via the intended handle is advisable. Keep the movement area of the outward-opening sash clear, and allow for its pivoting action around external building elements or objects. This helps the single-sash window with vertical pivot axis remain suitable for its planned installation position.

02

Construction and component dimensions at a glance

All numerical product specifications are brought together here. The outer frame has a component dimension of 105 × 57 mm. In an aluminium-clad version, the corresponding component dimension is 115 × 57 mm. The sash frame measures 76 × 65 mm; with aluminium cladding, it measures 86 × 65 mm. These figures refer to the relevant frame components. They are not the depth, width and height of the complete window and do not replace project-specific order dimensions.

The installation holes are specified with a diameter of 14 mm. This measurement applies only to the holes and must not be confused with the order size or the dimensions of the wall opening. Choose either double- or triple-glazed insulating glass. The window carries CE marking and is offered with a five-year guarantee.

Frame materials are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. The cladding changes the stated component dimensions of both outer and sash frames. For this reason, your enquiry should make clear whether you require an all-timber version or one with aluminium cladding. The material choice forms part of the precise product configuration and should be recorded together with the order dimensions.

Fittings include components from SPILKA and IPA, while you select the handle for your configuration. The glazing seals are black rubber. For the desired window appearance, coordinate the material, any aluminium cladding, colour, glazing and glazing-bar design. This considers the visible design elements together, while fittings and seals perform their respective functions within the window construction.

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As this is a made-to-measure window, a reliable enquiry starts with assessing the intended building opening. Do not take only one measurement; check the opening in several places. Variations in existing construction can be relevant to planning. Order dimensions should be clearly labelled so that every figure has an unambiguous reference. Outer-frame and sash-frame component dimensions must not be used instead of wall-opening dimensions.

Also bear in mind that the sash opens outwards and pivots around a vertical axis. The external movement and clearance zone must therefore suit the installation situation. Façade projections, reveals, railings, external shading, plants or other building elements can affect the usable space. These examples are project checks, not a statement that any setting is generally suitable. The specific conditions on site are decisive.

Indoors, consider the planned operating position too. The handle needs to be sensibly accessible in the intended use, and the window arrangement should suit the room’s planned furnishing and function. This does not prescribe a fixed installation height; that must be determined for the individual project. If sills, worktops or other elements adjoin the opening, include them in your sketch so the window position is clear.

For a new build, drawing dimensions can provide a suitable starting point. In an existing building, carefully survey the actual condition. If you are unsure, have the installation situation checked by a qualified professional. In your enquiry, state clearly whether the figures are opening dimensions, window dimensions or other reference values. A simple labelled sketch can help identify the axis position, inside and outside, and adjoining elements without guessing technical details.

Material, colour and visual composition

Material selection shapes the appearance of the window both in detail and in relation to the façade. Choose pine or oak. Both timbers are also available in an aluminium-clad version. This is more than a choice of material name: it determines the visual composition of the frame surfaces. State aluminium cladding explicitly in your enquiry because it is a separate version.

You can also choose the colour. Specify the preferred shade as clearly as possible in your enquiry and coordinate it with the material, aluminium cladding and glazing-bar pattern. Consider its relationship with the façade, roof, doors and other windows. This lets you plan either a restrained overall result or use the window as a deliberate design accent.

The glazing-bar design also affects proportion. An open glass view emphasises the continuous area, while horizontal and vertical lines organise the elevation. Combined with colour and material, the same window can therefore appear calmer or more strongly structured. Select these features as a whole: first the desired frame effect, then the division of the glass area, followed by a handle that fits the composition.

When choosing material, distinguish between an all-timber version and pine or oak with aluminium cladding. Record this decision explicitly, because clad versions have different outer-frame and sash-frame component dimensions. Add the preferred colour and consider the selection alongside the glazing, glazing-bar pattern and handle. This creates a clearly defined material and colour composition for your window.

If the window sits beside other opening elements, repeated lines can support a unified appearance. Compare glazing-bar heights, frame effect and colour direction on a project-specific basis, however; automatic consistency with other product types is not guaranteed. Note desired design relationships in a short description or sketch instead of assuming that similar product names produce identical appearances.

Putting related window types and doors in context

The most important comparison point between related windows is the opening method. This model has one outward-opening sash with a vertical pivot axis. The range also includes single- and double-sash inward-opening tilt windows. They suit different operating and room situations, so they should not be selected solely because their frame or glass appearance seems similar.

For projects requiring an EI30 product classification, separate fire-rated windows are available. These include an inward-opening oak version and an outward-opening oak fire-rated pivot window, each with double insulating glass and a heat-reflective coating. This classification belongs only to the products specifically identified as such, not to the pivot window presented here.

Another option is an outward-opening passive-house window called Super Low Uw. It is made from pine with a special thermal-insulating material and has triple insulating glass with a heat-reflective coating, warm edge and argon fill. For larger or divided window compositions, the combination window may also be relevant, with its exact configuration determined to suit the project.

Where a low-level opening element is planned, related single-sash patio doors can form a useful comparison group. A regular version and a historic-style version are offered, both opening outwards. Depending on the selected design, glazing, glazing bars and a panel are provided. Windows and patio doors remain distinct products, with their dimensions, materials and construction selected separately.

The related products and their full catalogue names appear below this section. First compare opening direction, number of sashes and product type. Then review material, glazing and available design options. This makes it easier to decide whether the single-sash pivot window, an inward-opening window, a specialist version, a combination window or a patio door better suits your plans.

Prepare your enquiry in a few steps

Start with a clear product description: a single-sash, outward-opening pivot window with a vertical pivot axis. Then add carefully taken measurements and identify what they refer to. A simple sketch showing inside and outside can prevent misunderstandings. If the opening is irregular or the connection details are complex, describe this briefly and have the measurements professionally checked where needed.

Next, decide on the material. Note pine or oak and clearly state whether aluminium cladding is required. Add your colour preference without relying only on broad terms such as light or dark. If you already have an exact colour designation, use it in the discussion. This keeps the desired frame appearance understandable from the outset.

Then choose the glazing specification and copy the full name of the required glazing-bar design. Exact wording is especially important for glass-dividing versions. Add your handle selection as a separate item. You do not need to treat the fitting brands as customer choices, as their mention does not indicate a choice between brands.

Finally, check whether adjacent windows or doors should be included in the design. Describe desired reference lines or a shared colour direction, then summarise the selection clearly: product description, measurement with a clear reference, material, aluminium cladding, colour, double or triple glazing, full glazing-bar design name and handle. Add relevant details of the opening or adjoining elements. A well-structured enquiry provides a sound basis for coordinating your made-to-measure pivot window.

Is the pivot window available made to measure?

Yes. The window is offered made to measure. For an enquiry, we need clear information about the intended opening. As building situations vary, take measurements carefully and, where necessary, have them checked by a qualified professional.

Which materials can I choose?

Choose pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. The most suitable version depends, among other things, on the material effect you want and the planned design of the building.

Can I choose a colour for the window?

Yes, colour selection is one of the available purchasing choices. Coordinate the desired shade with the material and any aluminium cladding, as these features together determine the overall visual impression of the window.

Is there a choice of handles?

Yes. Alongside size, colour and other specification features, you can also select a handle. Include your preferred handle in the enquiry so it can be treated as a separate part of your required product configuration.

What glazing is available for the pivot window?

Choose between double and triple insulating glazing. Both glass specifications include a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm edge and argon fill. State the preferred version together with the size, material and glazing-bar design in your enquiry.

Does the window carry CE marking?

The window carries CE marking, which is one of its confirmed product features. If your building project requires particular documents or information, please state this specifically in your enquiry so the requirement can be clearly identified.

How long does the guarantee last?

The guarantee lasts five years. Keep the information supplied with your order and follow the product guidance provided for use and care. This helps ensure the chosen version and order remain clearly traceable later.

What information should I have ready for an enquiry?

Useful details include the dimensions of the intended opening, preferred material, the decision on aluminium cladding, colour, glazing-bar design, glazing and handle. Describe any particular features of your installation situation as clearly as possible.
