01

Operation and everyday use

The sash of this window is top-hung and opens outwards. Its movement therefore differs clearly from a side-hinged window: the upper section forms the hinge side, while the lower section moves outwards when opened. The stated lift function is part of the outward-opening sash construction. In everyday use, this means operating a clearly defined top-hung movement rather than guiding a sash that swings sideways into the room.

Open and close the sash with the specified handle, guiding its movement in a controlled way. Since handle options are available, you can consider this operating element as part of the design during configuration. The window is fitted with SPILKA hardware; select the preferred handle style to complement the material, colour and glazing-bar pattern.

For everyday use, keep the sash, handle and sealing areas free from objects that could obstruct movement. Because the window opens outwards, the actual sash movement takes place outside the room. This can suit an interior layout where a side-hinged window sash should not project into the room. Whether this operating arrangement suits your project depends on the opening position, its accessibility and how the adjacent area is used.

The selected glazing-bar layout does not alter the stated basic function: it remains a top-hung, outward-opening sash with a lift function. Select the glazing-bar pattern for its desired appearance and division, not as an apparent change to the opening method. If the operating position presents particular requirements in your project, describe where the window is located and how you intend to reach it each day. This allows the product configuration and planned use to be discussed clearly.

02

Construction, materials and technical dimensions

The outer frame and sash frame are made from pine or oak. Both timber species are also available with aluminium cladding. This provides four stated material versions: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. Aluminium cladding is part of the selected material version; it should not be understood merely as a colour designation.

Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame has a component dimension of 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-frame component dimension is 115 × 57 mm. The sash frame measures 76 × 65 mm without aluminium cladding and 86 × 65 mm with aluminium cladding. These figures expressly refer to the named frame components. They are not general dimensions for the complete window’s depth, width or height, and do not replace project-specific ordering dimensions.

Installation holes of 14 mm are specified. The hardware is supplied by SPILKA. This is a specifically named product component, not a choice between different brands. Glazing is available as a double- or triple-glazed insulated unit. It includes a heat-reflective coating, a warm-edge spacer in CHR specification and argon gas. Black rubber gaskets provide the glazing seals.

The window is CE marked and offered with a five-year guarantee. Because it is made to measure, the required overall size is one of the key details for your enquiry. These ordering dimensions must be clearly distinguished from the technical component dimensions of the outer frame and sash frame. Add your choices of material, glazing, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle so the required version is described unambiguously.

When preparing your configuration, state the material version and chosen glazing together, because frame components differ when aluminium cladding is selected. Also record the required glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle. This keeps construction details distinct from the choices that determine the individual design of your version.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

Before requesting a made-to-measure window, assess the intended building opening carefully. Measure the relevant opening dimensions at several points and record how the opening is constructed. Clearly distinguish the dimensions of the existing or planned opening from the technical component dimensions of the outer frame and sash frame. The latter describe individual components and are not automatically the window size to be ordered.

As the sash opens outwards, the required movement area outside must be included in project planning. Check whether building components, cladding, railings, plants, outdoor fittings or other obstructions could extend into the opening path. Allow adequate free space for the actual sash movement according to the size ordered and installation situation.

Also consider the internal operating side. The handle should be sensibly reachable from the intended standing or access area. This is particularly important for higher or otherwise difficult-to-reach openings. Although outward movement prevents the sash from turning sideways into the room, it does not by itself indicate how conveniently the handle can be reached in your individual situation.

Note whether the opening belongs to a new build, a replacement or another building situation. Describe existing connections objectively and add meaningful dimensions to your enquiry where needed. This explains what your size information is based on without confusing frame components, building opening and ordering size. The specified installation holes are a product detail, but do not replace assessment of the intended connection.

Only when dimensions, accessibility and the external movement area have been considered together is there a sound basis for an unambiguous enquiry. If several openings differ in size, list every position separately. Assign material, glazing, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle to each position so that no design decision is accidentally transferred to another opening.

06

Material, colour and visual composition

The window’s visual effect comes from the interplay of timber species, optional aluminium cladding, colour, glazing-bar pattern, glazing and handle. Pine and oak are the stated timber options. Both can also be selected with aluminium cladding. You can therefore first decide whether the required version should be requested as a timber window or a timber window with the stated cladding.

A choice of colours is available and can be coordinated with the rest of your configuration during your enquiry. Describe your preferred shade as precisely as possible and state the selected timber species and any aluminium cladding. This allows material and colour to be deliberately coordinated without confusing the two decisions.

The glazing-bar pattern determines the visible division of the single sash. An appearance without glazing bars is calmer, while several horizontal elements or a combination with a vertical bar creates a more distinct order. Consider existing lines in the façade or neighbouring openings. Such design coordination is a decision for your project, not a technical requirement of the window.

The handle can also be included as a visible detail in the composition because handle options are offered. Coordinate it with the colour, timber species and glazing-bar pattern for a cohesive design. SPILKA hardware and the black rubber gaskets, by contrast, belong to the window’s technical construction and are distinct from the design choice of handle and window colour.

When configuring several windows, a simple design rule can help: use the same timber species and colour for every position, but choose different glazing-bar patterns according to the opening. Alternatively, use one consistent glazing-bar motif and adapt the made-to-measure sizes. These examples show possible ways to create order without claiming additional options or fixed design requirements.

Related window types and patio doors

If a top-hung sash does not suit every opening in your project, you can also consider the related product types. The range includes outward-opening side-hinged windows with one or two sashes, including versions in a traditional style. Unlike the top-hung window, these products use a side-hinged sash and should therefore be selected separately for each opening.

The side-hinged windows called “Kombi” combine a fixed-glazed section with an outward-opening sash. Various glazing-bar patterns are available, dividing the fixed section and sash in different ways. There is also a pivot roof window for roof openings, while single-sash patio doors are intended for projects requiring an outward-opening door sash.

Material options for related products vary by version. Several side-hinged windows, Kombi windows and the standard patio door are available in pine or oak, with aluminium-clad versions of each timber also offered. Traditional-style versions are offered in pine or oak. The pivot roof window is listed in pine with aluminium cladding. Always check the selection for the relevant product type.

If you want to combine different window types and patio doors in one project, list every opening as a separate position. Assign it the required product type, dimensions and relevant selections. This allows, for example, a top-hung window, a side-hinged window and a patio door to be visually coordinated without mixing their different opening methods or technical components.

The following related products may help with further orientation: Single-sash traditional-style outward-opening side-hinged window, Double-sash outward-opening side-hinged window, Double-sash traditional-style outward-opening side-hinged window, “Kombi” outward-opening side-hinged window, Traditional-style “Kombi” outward-opening side-hinged window, Pivot roof window, Single-sash outward-opening patio door, Single-sash traditional-style outward-opening patio door.

A clear enquiry in a few steps

Start with a position list for your project. Give every intended opening a unique designation and enter its carefully measured dimensions. If you need only one window, a single position is sufficient. For several windows, a structured list prevents sizes and design preferences from being mixed up.

Then determine the material version: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Next select the required insulated-glass construction. Record these two decisions separately, since neither the timber species nor aluminium cladding automatically determines a particular glazing option.

At the next step, use the exact name of the required glazing-bar pattern. Add your colour preference and preferred handle design. If you have not yet decided on the colour or handle, describe the direction you prefer and clearly mark the point as open. This lets us see which details are already decided and where further coordination is needed.

Add brief information about the installation situation where it is relevant to understanding your enquiry. This includes handle accessibility and any particular features around the external movement area. State specific dimensions and describe existing components or obstacles. If several related product types form part of the project, list them as separate positions.

Finally, check your configuration against six key details: position size, material version, glazing, glazing-bar pattern, colour and handle. Also confirm that the top-hung, outward-opening casement window is truly the required product type. A concise enquiry with clearly assigned details makes joint clarification easier and helps capture your design decisions completely.
